I guess you're not smart enough to understand the reports written on this subject. The Russian government prevented the defendants from being served with court summons on this case, yet wants to use discovery to get a better understanding of how the intelligence community discovered their complicity (i.e., they have no intention of showing up for trial, but want to find out how to better hide their tracks on future computer crimes) and/or to see if the government will drop the case in order to protect intelligence information.
So, yes you are supporting the Russians in their efforts to either have sensitive intelligence without showing up to trial or to have the charges dismissed because of the governments refusal to do so.
