Ok so obviously this is anecdotal evidence but my personal experience with this is that the people who support Russia are pretty much all right wing. The farther to the right they are , the harder they're buying into Russian propaganda.
I haven't seen actual support from the left in real life, but more some sort of vague both-siding and "understanding" and stuff like that. And that's come from both left and right (not center-left or center-right), but as a minority opinion. Old Stalinists, some left-wingers closer to the left side than center, then some right to far right. I think for the left it might also be the heritage of USSR alignment and peace mindedness. For the right, I'm not even really sure. Some sort of "anti-West" in the sort of "anti-globalism" sense which make you go hmmmm and then there's been some pretty sus financial ties.
I strongly suggest seeking out professional help because you clearly live in an alternate reality.
The name people usually use is Finland but your name is good too
Ikr, I have yet to meet a single leftist that supports Russia in its current form.
