It makes perfect sense that Putin would have wanted Trump to beat Hillary, and for Leave to beat Remain. In Russia’s position, with NATO expanded to their borders & potential direct conflict in Syria with Hillary’s proposed no-fly-zone, the US would have done far worse than a social media campaign!
But I still think it more likely that this is either a set up by the US, or carried out by other actors in Russia (not the Kremlin). Or a bit of both. Few people thought Trump/Leave would win. Unless Putin is a fortune teller, neither did he. To meddle would have been a huge risk, as obviously the US/UK would find out, with big repercussions (as we now see).
And obviously, if they did meddle in these relatively minor ways, it is absolutely ridiculous for the constantly meddling (and invading) US/UK to be playing the victim!!
