Can you back that up?

It's actually the reactionary right that is supporting Russia these days.
- dimitar 4y agoThere is barely a speech by Putin and Lavrov where they don't literally say something like "beginning of a radical breakdown of the US-style world order. This is the beginning of the transition from liberal-globalist American egocentrism" So this is why Russia supports and is supported by all radical groups that want to change the current order - left or right. The state it self is right-wing but you can see even anarchist organisations parroting its agenda. Russian trolls also just stir up trouble - the same people will post extreme fake claims supposedly by BLM protesters and then right-wing conspiracy theories. They see stirring up racial and class tensions as useful because it destroys the "hypocritical liberal order" - it paralyses countries and governments so they can't do effective foreign policy.
