Echo chambers lead to extremism, any kind of extremism. There are no more echo chambers on "the right". Echo chambers aren't even limited to politics.

You are correct. "Right echo chambers" are most of the time even smaller (but often "louder", therefore, the right chambers appear larger than they are). But this one here is very focused on small but polarizing topics. This shape seems exceptionally "designed" showing strange communication patterns (presumably amplified and intended by Kremlin-orchestrated troll accounts). That is what the study is saying. Nothing more, nothing less.
