Literally none of the things you’ve mentioned is leftist. Some of them - like divorce rate and abortions - are even typical to American Republicans.
Russia is far-right in almost every conceivable way, from religiosity, to inequalities, to racism and attitude to minorities.
- anovikov 4y agowell, far-right tend to be anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant in general (nativists), religious (as in: actually going to church frequently), against abortion or divorce, against government intervention into economy (support low taxes) in general and social spending programs in particular, against LGBT, and pro-gun. Russia is the inverse of all of it except LGBT. Russia is full of Asians and Muslims and actually uses them as a main tool for agression (they are fighting for Putin in Ukraine mainly, not Slavs). Russia has abortion and divorce rates higher than in any EU country, and women are completely independent. Russia is a social state (by constitution) and spends enormous amounts of money to support - more than support, directly feed - tens millions of multigenerational deadbeats. Legally owning any weapon is extremely hard in Russia and rates of ownership are nearly nonexistent, and there is no gun culture in any strata of the society. Russians are atheists and vast majority have never been in church in their lifetime, annual rate of church attendance is lower than weekly rate of attendance in countries like Spain.
