A federal grand jury in Washington, DC has indicted 13 Russian nationals and a Kremlin-linked internet firm on charges that they had meddled in the 2016 presidential election.
The US government said Russian entities began interfering in US political processes, including the 2016 presidential election, as early as 2014, according to a court document.
[...] The charges – which include conspiracy, wire fraud, bank fraud and aggravated identity theft – are the most direct allegations to date of illegal Russian meddling in the election.

Maybe the Russians are just better investors?
It seems most of money spend in the US comes from large corporations paying both sides to keep the status quo. (The status quo being them screwing everyone else)
The Russians seem to just want to mess things up, I wouldn't be surprised if that was cheaper to accomplish.
