Likely a Russian troll. He has been a Medium member for three years and has not published any articles. He only has a handful of followers and his name strongly suggests an east European ethnicity. Such people tend to appear as commentators on any article promoting American democracy (as opposed to Trumpism)or Ukrainian autonomy. The goal is to create doubts among the more reasonable members of the American public. There is no question that the concerted effort to lie to the electorate in recent elections has been very effective. It is always worthwhile to read such outrageous comments with a degree of circumspection.
