Don’t forget that Russia seems to be more interested in western infrastructure, especially military infrastructure, recently.
Drones are pretty great to look at stuff, because they are hard to detect, hard to defend against and offer some plausible deniability, because there are actually idiots flying drones where they should not due to said idiocy.
Perhaps, but Russia also has satellites for that.
If Russia was doing spy drones, they would not be fitted with navigation lights flying on normal flight paths.
There is basically nothing that you'll learn from flying a drone over New Jersey that you can't learn from Google Earth.
