If so, was it polled somewhere?

The left right thing sometimes feel more like a circle and if center was at one end of the circle then tankies and the alt-right would be at the other end pretty to close to one another. They both want to own the people that are closer to center, they both have a love affair with Russia, they both deny genocides, they both believe in authoritarianism...

they both have a love affair with Russia

Yes, it's Kremlin/CCP propaganda. Both use social media to divide democracies. Divide and conquer on social media.

Yup, horseshoe theory. At a certain point, it's hard to tell authoritarians apart. I.e. why do you hate LGBT folks?

Stalin - they're non-conformist, so to the Gulag with with!
Hitler - the people don't like them, so we can blame them for our problems

Different justifications, same net result. So on LGBT issues, I can't tell Stalin and Hitler apart. The same goes for a surprising number of other policies.
