Curious about this statement. Can you link to any reading I can do to learn more?

Same here. I just looked up who is behind their Series A lead, and it's not ideal. However, I can't find a moscow connection.

In any case, what I would love to know is who has the majority of voting shares, how the PBC relates to that, etc.

Looking at their investment rounds have seen no Russian investment:

Isn't Twitter funded by SA and Russians?

SA, yes. The full list is at the bottom of this article. While Russians may hide behind one of the many firms, it does not look like they have anything like a controlling stake:

Post (now flagged) was not mentioning controlling stake.
