Thanks. Your comment about babushkas (women in head scarves) brings up one of the reasons for the support of Russia by the right is in the nationalistic, patriarchal, homophobic, misogyny of the Russian orthodox church. That's why Tucker Carlson, et al are in love with Putin and Orban, and oh yes there is the racism.

In case one asks how can Russia be racist, they have such a small population of Africans

Consider this, paradoxically some of the most racist states have the smallest percentage and numbers of blacks, like Vermont, which paradoxically has re elected Bernie Sanders https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/most-racist-states
