The german green party’s effort to phase out nuclear energy ended up being spearheaded by someone on Kremlins payroll. Spycraft and international politics is not about wearing trenchcoats after dark, it is about influencing, capturing and manipulating the correct people with the most leverage. It is also far easier to influence someone who is already corrupt - they already probably have compromat on them and they are already OK with doing something bad. Similarly, well natured people are just as susceptible to being influenced unless they are very diligent about refusing donations.
