There is no such thing as a "leftist nation", and the idea is completely ridiculous. You cant classify countries with millions of people and many different interest groups on a right-left scale.
Russia supports AES countries critically, despite a lot of power held by Orthodox Church, and them being the one force that wants to crush Nazis in Ukraine, and oppose fascists that are NATO and its supporters. Anti-LGBT stuff does not run too well, but LGBT coming to support Nazis in Ukraine does not run well either, right?
TL;DR there are nuances and being a morally integral critical thinker with education on subject matters.
