Hold on, putin isn't left or right, he is outside of political spectrum. Even if he once was part of a country that called itself communist, there's nothing left of that expect corruption.
But here you underscore the futility of using the "left right spectrum" to understanding politics. It simply doesn't work these days. Trump has shown he will support absolutely
anything if it means getting elected, even if it's an anathema to so-called "conservatives" or those on the political "right".
As I said in my original reply to this question:
do not use "left" and "right". These terms are old and outdated, and will only confuse people.
