Even if there's only weak evidence tying this particular astroturfing campaign to Russia, there is no reason whatsoever to expect that Russia has backed off their efforts more generally. They've had great success so far with few meaningful repercussions. When you find organized political astroturfing online (especially with an apparent aim to sow discord), Russia now has to be on the list of suspects even before there's any specific evidence tying it to Russia. The prior probability of Russian involvement is high enough that almost any shred of specific evidence is enough to put them near the top of the suspect list.
You should read the followup to all of the “meddling” uncover by the special counsel in the last year. I think you may be surprised!
I’m still surprised that Bloomberg spent $1.2 billion on his campaign and barely scraped a delegate. But Russia spends a few thousand on facebook ads and boom!
