Hypothetically speaking, if a country can afford a standing army and pay the thousands of privates for doing pushups and running around in circles with backpacks and guns. Then its not crazy to assume they can afford bunch of people trolling internet forums in an attempt to destabilize (even slightly so) the internal politics of neighboring countries. Russian government is at weaker bargaining position when dealing with EU, then when dealing with single small country. So their vested interest is to push other countries to leave the EU.
