Russia is not a far right country ,in fact Russia is one of the ONLY counties in Europe not led by a fascist maniac
If you know anything about geopolitics you would know that Russia is opposed by right wingers in the global south but supported by left wingers ,example (election with a pro trump candidate vs a pro Putin candidate)
Also let’s look at Putin’s policies : more tolerant on immigration than the USA ,Germany ,Poland ,Baltic states ,France
Abortion is legal and will likely never be removed as a right
Muslims and ethnic minorities are actually protected by the state
Is NOT viewed as a nationalist
His MAIN opponents are Nazis ,Neo Nazis ,monarchists (who are also Neo Nazis) , NeoLibs who want to privatize Russia
Is Putin a communist ? No he’s not and Russia is not a communist country by any means but that doesn’t fucking matter ,there are ONLY 5 communist countries on the fucking planet
And I hate this absolutely braindead thing from westerners not libs but comrades about Putin being a fascist ,I don’t respect liberals so I don’t care but I hate when our comrades say this while simultaneously defending Bashar Al Assad (rightfully)
If Bashar isn’t a fascist (he isn’t but he has more reactionary opinions than Putin) than Putin isn’t
Also as for the Russia is anti communist thing ,yes I don’t care ,Russia is not even close to being the most anti communist country in the world proven by the fact it’s literally an ally of communist states and Putin is not much of an anti communist as a lot of Russian are these days (unfortunately) as well as his opposition
Putin also isn’t really a dictator but this one is more complicated as elections are rigged in Russia just not to a full extent ,most Russians would vote for Putin even if elections were completely fair but there is indeed corruption
Sorry for how angry I have been but I can’t tolerate nonsense
And please mods I’m not gonna deal with any of the libs that will reply to this comment ,it’s your job
Russian liberals are amongst the most racist, islamophobic and western-servile people imaginable. They would sell out their grandma for a tacky overpriced western “luxury item”. That alone should be an indication that russia is conservative and reactionary but aligned with the progressive forces of history. And so ironically pro-putin russians are driven closer to internationalism than the average western leftist is.
I’m from country with HEAVY anty-russian propaganda, so you know, Russia bad. Could someone point me into the direction on materials about Russia with more balanced point of view?
The current war in Ukraine would never have happened if Ukraine had bothered to implement the Minsk Agreements.
They would have gotten back ALL of their territory lost during the civil war excluding Crimea (which they’re never getting back anyway), on the account that they have to stop pursuing ethnic cleansing policies in the eastern regions (the Minsk Agreements explicitly gave some level of cultural autonomy to the provincial governments so the Rada cannot, for example, simply impose a ban on the Russian language on a whim like they did on February 2014, which sparked the civil war in the first place).
Ukrainian fascists chose no, they cannot live without ethnic cleansing the Russians. So now they are going to lose everything.
