The only observable Russian connection here is the suspicion that Mueller may be part of the Trump conspiracy, which is how Stalinist purges unfolded in Soviet Russia:
1936: NKVD Chief, Yagoda, conducts massive arrests and executions to root out the vast anti-communist conspiracy.
1937: Yagoda is himself arrested, denounced as a butcher, and executed. The new NKVD Chief, Yezhov, conducts mass arrests and executions to root out the vast anti-communist conspiracy that involved his predecessor.
1938: Yezhov is himself arrested, denounced as a butcher, and executed. The new NKVD Chief, Beria, conducts mass arrests and executions to root out the vast enemy conspiracy that involved his predecessor.
1939-45: WWII happens, where the USSR was the main instigator, victim, and then victor. Internal arrests and executions continue, but the focus shifts from secret conspiracies to open warfare.
1945-53: The war ends and Beria refocuses on enemy conspiracies, resuming mass arrests and executions.
1953: Stalin dies. Beria is himself arrested, denounced as a butcher, and executed. The new Soviet government headed by Khrushchev decide to end the reign of terror in which they all took part, realizing they'd be safer without it.

Fast forward to modern day....
2019: Mueller fails to deliver. Will Schiff accuse Mueller of conspiring with the enemies, blame him for botching the Trump investigation, and spearhead a new purge?
2020: Schiff fails to deliver. Will AOC accuse Schiff of conspiring with the enemies, blame him for botching the Trump investigation, and spearhead a new purge?
