Those were just a stupid DOS.

This is different, actively manipulating the public opinion through selective disclosure, financing unaligned (to Russian position) extremists in multi-move combinations, actively destablizing major powers, etc. Doing it correctly, intelligently and with minimal resource waste.

The Russians have not done this since the 1960-es - when Putin's mentor in KGB ran their foreign operations.
