View submission: R/shortguys is a Russian psyop
I'm not convinced this is a bot, or from Russia.
Why would a bot duplicate letters all the time?
Why would a Russian bot support fighting Russia[1]? Seems to be deleted, here from the profile:
russia wants it'ss soviet territory back inculding us, so it'ss in our best intrest to stay united against it long live nato!!!!!

they have almost no post karma. It’s hard for bots to upvote posts, but they can upvote comments.
Bots can repost popular content and get upvotes from humans.

The duplicate letters are to evade spam filters. These same messages are being used by many bots, so random letters are added to avoid detection.

Russian bots aren't always necessarily computer programs. There's lots of farms in Russia that are just dirt poor Russians posting slop for Americans all day.
