I seriously doubt Putin, who famously despises HRC, would help her win anything.
But since you brought it up...
HRC helped Trump win the GOP nomination. Mostly because Rubio, the favorite, would have crushed HRC in the general. (And because why not monkey wrench the other side's primary?)
In a weird way, I think we're lucky Trump won and not Rubio. The backlash against Trump is akin to a tidal wave, a sea change. Whereas Rubio would have been less motivating than say GWB & Cheney, so the GOP would probably hold onto power for longer.
Doubly so because Rubio would have had the legitimacy of a clear victory, whereas no one to the left of Steven Bannon considers Trump legitimate.
