Anne Applebaum was talking about this last night on Rachel Maddow.
She said they don't have to be meeting in some dark room, they just have to share similar goals.
Framing democracy as dangerous and depraved is a shared goal.

There's no practical difference between representatives echoing Russian propaganda because they're paid operatives of the Kremlin and them doing it because they're paid operatives of Capital and dumb enough to repeat Russian propaganda that jibes with their worldview.
