Actually I do think that's possibly what is happening here.

As you say the Russians aren't amateurs, but at the same time they've massively overstepped their mark this time and have galvanised action against them that possibly didn't particularly have the will before, since they poured a lot of money into platforms that would promote Russia's propaganda (hard and soft).

It seems that currently no amount of money can whitewash what they're doing. Of course that might change again in the future.
