"Russian hackers" are as best in the world as "the Russian army is the second in the world in terms of power"
The only thing they differ in is the lack of moral standards. I am sure they will not stop if they are given the task of "transferring the nuclear reactor of the XXX nuclear power plant to an unstable state" they will try to do this without much hesitation, since human life in Russia is the cheapest commodity. I would even say - worthless. Similarly, their army - they can only fight against the elderly and women, rape, rob the unarmed ... But as soon as they meet an armed enemy ready to fight back - they run away in hysterics or die. Moreover, Russia refuses to take their corpses "so as not to spoil the statistics"
I believe we have a lesson to be learnt from the Russia as well.
All the big countries depend on their own resources - like china - like Russia and they make an impact on the world.
So better be more self sufficient than asking for help
