Not really surprising. Putin hat a lot of fingers in fringe politics in Europe and the US in order to destabilize them. He spent a lot of his oil- and gas money on such projects, and has found a lot of ways to channel this money into political campaigns.
I'd say Putins biggest successes so far were Trump in the White House and Brexit. A lot of the right-winger parties in Europe have dubious money sources, some of them pointing to Russia.
And keep in mind how much he had spent in the Ukraine to get his puppet president elected. Which actually failed, so he had to revert to good old plain robbery. Hats off to the Ukrainian people to opposed the political scum bought with Russian money and vote one of their own people into power.

One thing I haven’t worked out since living here for over a decade. How do you British people deal with all the flies that just come through open doors and windows? Flyscreens just aren’t standard like they are in Australia and trying to find a wire screen door that locks seems to be harder than I thought it would be.
@CatherineFlick it will make you a little sad but unsurprised to learn that the answer is, mostly, be a little bit background annoyed about it but don’t ever think to do anything to fix it, because one just puts up with these things. Like, y’know, everything else. It’s the British way.
