How so? Can you explain what you mean please? Just to quote wiki(which quotes Assange): "The Kenya leak led to corruption being a major issue in the election that followed, which was marred by violence. According to Assange, "1,300 people were eventually killed, and 350,000 were displaced. That was a result of our leak. On the other hand, the Kenyan people had a right to that information and 40,000 children a year die of malaria in Kenya. And many more die of money being pulled out of Kenya, and as a result of the Kenyan shilling being debased". " How did this benefit Russia exactly? Please explain.

Parent here was probably referring to the 2016 US election, in which all Wikileaks were generally targeted to benefit Russia’s preferred candidate. Since Assange would leak anything sent to him, it was relatively easy for Russia to selectively leak things that would benefit Russia.

  I'm sure if these undesirable acts weren't committed it would have been even better.

  I'm not American so I don't really follow what Assange did for American elections - but I very much object to OP's claim that Assange "only" leaked things that benefited russia - it can be disproven with a 5 second google.
