Did you read the article? I'm not trying to have politics spill out into here, but the research seems solid. The article says that it has nothing to do with people who didn't like the movie for various reasons, but specifically with the Tweets and reactions that claimed that the movie was some kind of veiled attempt to promote liberalism to spark more argument and disagreement.
Nicklab:
The hacking and trolling operations conducted by the Russians have not just had the aim of influencing elections. A big part of the operation has been to sow division through the society on a range of divisive issues. A Star Wars film is about as big of a pop culture event as you're going to find, and could definitely be a significant target for that type of influence operation.

The main reason I think it's entirely plausible is that it fits the broader MO, and it wouldn't even be that much work for them.

This is correct.
Also, I think "Paul Harrison" is a Russian manbaby-bot.

Watched TLJ for first time in a long time, the warts have worn off except the stupidness of the whole Canto Bight deal. I know JJ has said many times and I totally agree Kylo and Rey v. the Praetorian Guards is so kick ass...and so is the finally battle on Crait.
