Please explain why this community (c/europe) is so pro Russia? Genuinely curious as to why. (lemmy.nz)

You wouldn't think of a European community of being so insanely pro Russia, yet on every single post mentioning Russia, any negative comments about Russia or their government will get downvoted to hell, some people get banned. I would not be surprised if I am banned or downvoted for posting this. People who are not just blatantly spamming Kremlin propaganda, please say why you are so pro Russia, to someone confused.

I'm most optimistic about their foreign policy of mutual development & the ministry of defense pushing for more state planning of industrial capacity. It's more than just being a countervailing wind to the US bloc with their nuclear arsenal & alliance with China, which hasn't had enough time to build one up yet. The problem is the Kremlin & the central bank are still pretty neoliberal.
