This is an absurd argument.
Why wouldn't the Russian government seek to take your secrets if it could? Employees at even the most mundane companies, such as SendGrid (email as a service) or Salesforce, have passwords and ssh keys that could permit access to infrastructure. That infrastructure contains valuable information when mined at scale.
How do you think these campaigns happen? All 0days? The most public recent nation-state hack, of the Clinton campaign, was done by a phishing page.
Yes, we are all targets to some degree of nation states.
That said, Kaspersky software is excellent. I would just disable the cloud upload portion of it.
