I've been noticing this for a few years; the most polarizing stories seem to originate from sites tied to Russia.

“I really believe that Russia is the leader of the free world right now," Heimbach told Business Insider in a recent interview. "Putin is supporting nationalists around the world and building an anti-globalist alliance, while promoting traditional values and self-determination."

And while he views Russia as a "model for civilization" and "a beacon for nationalists," Heimbach emphasized that the movement goes beyond Russia and traditional left-right politics.

But it appears to me that Russian oligarchs and those throughout Europe and America have decided to make their move to consolidate power.
