87. The far-left is pro-Putin as much as the far-right is.

The reason is that all of them are anti-West/anti-liberal democracy and see NATO as the defender of it.

The far-left hates the West due to the expansion of capitalism and MIC.
The far-right hates the West due to the expansion of diversity and rights for non-whites.
Putin hates the West due to the expansion of democracies and the weakening of autocracies like his.
