I would bet the Russians know 100%

Their surveillance people do, sure - just like all the 5-Eyes governments obviously know 100% and so do any spooks from anywhere else with competent spy networks, including the Chinese, Israelis, etc etc.

That's not really my point though. It's ordinary people that need to know about it.
