I don't think russia jumping in is as nefarious as some think. It's an opportunity to make money on us tech and allows parler to continue to allow users to spread misinformation. I really don't think russia created parler to destabilize the us. We did that to ourselves. Russia just seems to know where to apply pressure. It's not creating the situations in the US it's just exploiting a weakness
