When people donate time, do you think there is not value in the time they donate to volunteering? The time and effort , financed by the Russian government, had value associated to them.

I really think you are stretching here, but we will see.  i'm sure campaigns need attorneys so if an attorney gives ten hours of time at $500 an hour, that's $5000 the campaign doesn't have to spend. The law is about campaign financing, and this particular section is about foreign financing of campaigns. There may be another law somewhere that addresses this situation, but I don't think this is the one.
