The Russian economy has long adjusted for these sanctions and thus are largely irrelevant. They sell Europe almost all of its natural gas.The goal of the Russians was to get sanctions removed, a president Trump, was the means.
IMO, the Russians, like nearly everyone else, thought that Hillary would be the next President and they wanted to weaken her position by giving her a close fought election tainted with scandal and wild accusations.
They got more than they bargained for.
