The Hungary schlock they refer to was of course a gladio-style CIA backed color revolution in which Hungarian fascist death squads were purging Jews, Roma, and Communists.
Awesome! Cool! Dope!

Is anyone on the left defending Russia? I can't think of any reasons a leftist would support what is happening.
understanding the economic conditions of the post-soviet states and how the US has been taking advantage of those conditions in order to destabilize, divide, conquer, and profit off of post-soviet states is, in the eyes of liberals, the same as defending Putin.
Pointing out Putin's presidency and the oligarchic control of the Russian economy is a direct consequence of a US-backed coup in 1993 is, in the eyes of liberals, the same as defending Putin.
Pointing out the warnings against expanding NATO by military officials in the late 90s is, in the eyes of liberals, the same as defending Putin.
Try any of these strategies outside of a Marxist-Leninist space and you will feel the wrath of liberals. Especially American liberals, and even the small cadre of elected "socialists" (barely even social democrats ) like Bernie and the squad are backing up the dem party line with respect to US foreign policy.
Some people are critically supporting Russia against the US/NATO (iirc this is the /r/genzedong party line). A much smaller group go further into full support of Russia out of the misguided belief that this is a black and white conflict, where "NATO bad" must mean "Russia good".
As Thomas_Dankara says, however, these allegations are mostly being thrown at anyone who so much as says "Hey maybe NATO isn't the good guys".
I am.
