Their money isn't worth shit since the invasion. Having no particular knowledge on the subject, i can't imagine they'd be doing much bribery the last few years. These people are otherwise compromised, or what i think more likely, Russia just helped start the culture war fire, and we're fanning the flames ourselves.

I doubt this charlatan gives a damn about Russia or Ukraine, he's just being a contrarian because that gets you a sizable base of voters now.

Man, they aren't paying in rubles, that'd be dumb as shit, even for Russia. Some of the richest people in the world are, and remain, Russian oligarchs with close ties to Putin - and most of their money ain't in rubles.
