Considering this didn't get as far as most sincere Russian propagandist efforts, this is also very likely a false flag.

By supporting the spread of material that discredits Boris Johnson, then getting caught, they can discredit the attacks against him to help him win the election.

The fact that this was so obvious and happened so immediately after the document leak makes me suspicious that this may be the case.

It did though - Labour even held a press conference about it!
