Literally the only reason the Global South sympathizes with Russia is that it's seen as fighting the West. Russia is seen as lesser evil, even though it's still shit (and it's shitty state is partially the fault of the West too).
I think of modern day Russia like the victim of a vampire attack turned into a ghoul. Obviously ghouls are bad but saying so is pretty rich coming from the same bloodsucker that made them this way
