Does the research there benefit the russian military? Any research has potential use for the military.
The "Skolkovo-based company" Joule Unlimited is actually a company in Massachusetts cooperating with the Skolkovo research-center.

Did a russian investment-fund invest in this upcoming biotechnology-company? Yes.
One of Clinton's donor-bundlers is a lobbyist for the biggest bank in Russia, Sberbank.
Does Sberbank have ties to Putin's circle of Oligarchs? Yes.
Did the Clinton Foundation receive dubious donations from a canadian investor who would have liked to see the russian company Rosatom gain a majority-stake in the canadian company Uranium One with mines in Wyoming and Kazakhstan? Yes.

Did at the same time (and mentioned in the same article) Obama try to play nice with Russia to better their relations? Yes.
Was Clinton, as Secretary of State, on the committee that greenlighted the deal? Yes.
Do we have any information why the deal was greenlighted and whether she supported it or not and why she did or did not do so? No.
-------
Summary:
One of her bundlers is a lobbyist for a russian bank. And a committee of US-officials, including Clinton, greenlighted a pro-russian business-deal.
That's... pretty thin.
It's thinner than your own company receiving money from russian investors and then covering it up, thinner than singlehandedly changing the party-platform to make it more Russia-friendly, thinner than a campaign-chairman who was on the bribery-payroll of a corrupt pro-russian politician.

If this looks nasty and shady as all hell, just wait until Monica and other vile things are bought up against Hillary, and just wait for the television ads to follow. This election is IMHO going to take an extremely NASTY turn into the gutter--Look whose on board: Roger Ailes and that crazy loon from Breitbrat.
Two of the nastiest, racist, sexist, vile, bat-shit crazy, lying, bottom-feeders pieces of horse shit around
