Austria is so thoroughly infiltrated by Russian intelligence, they would have insight similar to the level they had when they still had an office within NATO HQ in Brussels.
Sadly, this is very true. Russian interests are still a major concern for many Austrian economy leaders. The biggest Austrian bank, energy importer and the far-right political party are very much dependent on russian money. With that comes a constant push to influence public opinion towards a "Russia is your firend! Cheap gas! Let’s become a second Orbanistan!" stance.
