I have never once heard of any person or organization who took major steps to help a candidate get elected without letting the candidate know about those steps.

People who go to the cost and/or trouble of influencing an election always want something in return.  So they are going to be 100% sure the candidate knows he is beholden to them for the help.

I'm not so sure about that. With some candidates, having them in office and being corrosive there might be rewarding enough for Putin.

Brexit is an example. Russia wanted Brexit and supported the Brexit movement because of that. There was little to nothing to gain from these folks beyond Brexit.
