Russia is basically the boogeyman at this point. I wouldn't be shocked if their cyberwarfare division wasn't anywhere near as extensive as it's hyped up to be.

At this point

Pretty sure they have been the Boogeyman for at least the past... idk 8 decades?

Considering the whole "every accusation a confession" dynamic, it is probably nothing comparable to the western empire's. How much they have, who knows, but we do know the western empire is the primary aggressor the world over and extensively so. There is also the question of what it gets used for. And the west basically goes, "If it's our military/intelligence organizations, then it's for Freedom (tm) and Burgers (tm). If it's their military/intelligence organizations, then it's for Eating Babies (tm) and Authoritarianismingy Everyone (tm)." How this makes any sense with the hundreds of military bases, forever wars, and endless bombings and sanctioning of other countries, well... we know it doesn't make any sense. We're meant to think China or Russia have the potential to be horribly evil in ways we can't even imagine, while the US specifically in more recent empire form - and the western empire as a whole if we're going further back than US hegemony - has been being unfathomably evil for hundreds of years.

I feel like the US jumping at every shadow and boogeyman is doing more damage than Russia could ever hope to do. Their cyberwarefare division could just be two guys playing chess against each other, and maybe sending an email out every often.
