I don't think they're pro-Putin? Seem to be as much against Russian imperialism and capitalism as they are against US's.

Edit: Lmao one of the first comments I saw on there:

Putin will be a narcissistic fence sitter who abuses power for his own ends

So yeah, not very "pro-Putin"

and I saw some very pro Putin shit in places like chapotraphouse,even people for the genocide of ukraine

I would tell you to go to hell for being on hexbear, but apparently you haven't been on there enough to see how pro-russia and pro-Putin tankies tend to be
