Why would a Russian oligarch linked to a notorious hacker care about the Alabama Senate race?

I mean, does anyone here really care who wins the race for the Russian Duma in the Byransk Oblast? Cause I sure as shit don't.

I don't know, but Artem Klyushin (friend of "Putin's Trollmaster" Konstantin Rykov and whose then-wife ushered Trump around Moscow in 2013) really wants to see Roy Moore elected in Alabama.

Um....why?

A clear caricature of Ben Harrison, an artist of conservative-libertarian and pro-presidential beliefs, reflecting the confident movement of the "unsinkable" Roy Moore @ MooreSenate to victory in the Senate elections.

I am asked why I support @ MooreSenate - he is a principled and just a normal person with traditional values! Which for its principles has lost its status, but has not bent under the blue lobby in the United States.

"Moore @ MooreSenate rejected these claims ... The Senator of the Liberal Democrat (that is, the Democratic Party) from Alabama, we do not need," - said Trump @ realDonaldTrump 👍

Also, apparently Klyushin has recently started Twitter stalking people:

vote flipping by switching urls during the vote tally batch program execution... you can switch from primary server to secondary and back using a simple switch script. keep same script 'name'...but the script on the secondary server is programmed to flip votes. when done, a simple switch script reverts back to the original primary server with it's revised counts. you need access to server logs to 'see' the url switching..because anyone looking at screen will not see this subtle move going on in the background.
