I think you're misunderstanding the way that rounds work. This is a Series D – and they're not even getting an executive seat – and this was just 2% of their stock. This was an all money is green round, not "give us advice and your rolodex." If the people that offer you the best deal at that point happen to be Russian, why wouldn't you take it? They're pumping up for an IPO at which point they'll naturally be selling stock to whoever is willing to pay.
