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.

Russia was encouraging anti-Trump protests after the election. Michael Moore went, and there had the nerve to claim that Trump was connected to Russia!

This is not to say that Russia actually supports Clinton, though they might. It's possible that Russia would have made an effort to generate anti-Clinton protests had she won. In other words, Russia just likes to stir up trouble. On the other hand, she was easy to buy off, with her husband taking $500,000 for a speech in Moscow right before she approved the Uranium One company sale and the uranium exports. Russia may well have wanted her for that reason, despite the supposed poor relations. Poor relations can be a negotiating tactic.
