&feature=youtu.beThis election night party was organized by Konstantin Rykov and Maria Katasonova, who claimed to have lead a Russian hacking/social media influence campaign for Trump.
Also, can we get the identity of the American who was interviewed who's talking about how America was founded on Christian values yada yada yada Trump?
Rykov is seen briefly at 6:33 and 7:22 (where he's seen singing along with fellow partygoers to Queen's "We are the Champions." )

I wish it was easy to translate spoken words without so much hassle.

Here's it being presented to Le Pen, who's apparently not shy about being seen with Russian hacking agents:
