    It's a different thing to feel solidarity for Russian conscripts, who are locked into a neverending conflict against the forces of imperialism since 1918, and to say you love the state of Russia after it was privatized and sold out to the lowest bidder.

      It's Russian volunteers primarily doing the anti-fascist fighting and ridding Europe of Nazism. Russia didn't have to save Syria. They didn't have to save Kazakhstan and Belarus. They are an anti-imperialist force for good.

      Russia being the victim of looting doesn't make me hate them, it makes me support them even further. They are the victim of being sold off and looted, why would that make me hate them? Yeltsinite forces have no sway in the government now. There's this weird trend in the Western Left where they resent modern Russia for the collapse of the USSR instead of correctly directing that anger at themselves and their anti-communist left formations. It's a form of victim blaming and projection.
