Putin is worshiped both on the left and on the right of the political spectrum:
Germany’s leftist Die Linke and the far right Alternative für Deutschland both contain pro-Russian sympathizers that opposed German action in the Ukraine last year. These old-style isolationists have stopped short of Marine Le Pen’s open hand-holding with Russia—so far. But “peace” with Russia is one of Pegida’s goals in its grand strategy to reform the German State, and the group could be open to the same sort of manipulation that we’ve seen in France.
In the US, it’s mostly the Lefties who deify the vicious little troll. In Europe, it’s mostly the Righties. Their love for Putin is evidence of the extreme infantilization that has conquered our politics. Everybody is dreaming of a strong parental figure that will chase away the big bad wolf.
For Pegida, the big bad wolf is an immigrant. For American pseudo-Liberal academics, it’s the CIA. It doesn’t really matter who is assigned magical powers in the childish fantasies of the contemporary whiner. The deified magician Putin is coming to save the good little Lefties and the nice little Righties from the big bad wolves spawned by their childish imaginations.

you mean you side with zio-capitalist tea party crank toxic talker Glenn Beck, who is doing a series on Russia and the “evil” Dugin?

I don’t “side” with anybody. That’s the strategy of the intellectually limited folks like you. Your idol Putin is a vicious piece of trash. And that’s precisely what attracts you to him.

Oh no, he appeals to conservatives here in the west too!
I like him because he knows a fool when he sees on – and treats leftists and twits like Obama accordingly. I personally became a fan when some stupid women set up a protest at a sporting event and refused to give ground when the cops politely asked them to disperse. Like typical western protesters – they responded with insults, profanity and ignorance.
The cops took a little of it – and then systematically began bitch slapping those women until they smartened up and left as they were ordered. In the west we have forgotten that free speech carries with it responsibility as well. Putin is reminding the Usual Suspects that they are accountable for their actions – and that does not sit will with a lot of stupid, irresponsible people.

It’s really not surprising that there is support for Putin in Die Linke, the largest chunk of their voters and politicians are former members of the East German Communist party, it’s mostly a party of bitter, Communist-era bureaucrats who lost their power and privileges after reunification. Many Social Democrats and Greens are deeply suspicious of Die Linke and I’m sure many Linke voters would love to see the Soviet Union and East Germany restored. The much smaller group of Linke voters in the former West Germany followed former Finance Minister Oskar Lafontaine out of the Social Democratic party when he threw a hissy fit and left in 2005- so it’s basically a cult of personality for their voters in the West.
The Alternative für Deutschland is less than two years old and it’s not at all clear if they will really hang around. They’ve been making lots of noise, but they didn’t do all that well in national elections last year, though they did better in the former East than in the former West. Similarly, the Pegida movement has been much stronger in the East than the West. It’s been 25 years, but the East West divide is still really important.
