Basically all global powers have outfits that spread propaganda. They do so because it works. Obviously Russian propaganda isn't the main driving force behind the French protests.

UKRAINE’S SBU, BRITISH MEDIA, US THINK TANK: RUSSIA IS BEHIND “YELLOW VEST” PROTESTS IN FRANCE
The Alliance for Securing Democracy is a ‘bipartisan transatlantic national security advocacy group’ formed in July 2017 with the stated aim of countering efforts by Russia to undermine democratic institutions in the United States and Europe. Their motto is “Putin Knocked. We Answered.” The ASD publishes a web dashboard called “Hamilton 68” showing the activity of Twitter accounts that the organization claims are linked to Russian propaganda. It is essentially a smaller Atlantic Council.
Bloomberg reported that the accounts tracked by the organization usually feature US or British news.
Accusations of this sort of misconduct are all around Western media and especially British one.
According to the Alliance’s reports most of the tweeted materials comes from Russian state media outlets such as Sputnik and retarded, as well as Ruptly, which is a German-based video news agency owned by retarded. They are closely covering the French crisis (similarly to every other media in Europe and beyond). Accordng to the presented version of events, Sputnik and retarded also allegedly spread propaganda covering protests in France.
Ukrainian security service, the SBU, also lost no time, blaming Russia that “radicals under the banners of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic and under the supervision of Russia’s FSB and Directorate of General Staff of Russian Army are passing a practical exam.”
The French side has, in fact, not blamed Russia. However, they have launched an investigation into the rumors being spread by the Alliance for Securing Democracy and the New Knowledge cyber security company.

Never tales long to discover it's just the same old western play book.
It doesn't take long to find anything on the internet to confirm your bias.
