Pretty sure a country that’s committing mass genocide with imperial ambitions who commits daily war crimes and meddles in other countries’ affairs to sow division and distrust is very clearly “the bad guy”. How can you claim otherwise? You can’t “both sides” the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Yeah. And who keeps giving all those weapons and money to Israel while they are carrying out a genocide?
Let’s face it. A single country can be the bad guy in one situation and the good guy in another.
Also, it’s always funny when the US accuses other countries of foreign interference and genocide, because they surely had no problem doing that to Latin America.
You need to research about African decolonization movements back in the 60’s.
When African countries declared themselves independent they mostly got support from the USSR, while the US and the west in general acted in a very hostile way.
Anti-apartheid movements got labelled as “terrorists” by the US, but on the contrary, received a lot of support from Russia.
Ir certainly says something that nobody in the west opposed apartheid until socialism was no longer a threat in the 90’s
That is kinda funny, because the USSR was incredibly racist and you’re still not very welcome in Russia as a person of color.

“Despite the widely reported Soviet support for the ANC and otherwise liberation movements, the Soviet Union also engaged in some trade with South Africa during the apartheid era, mostly involving arms and some mineral resources.”
So, they delivered weapons to the Apartheid regime?
I’ve seen an interesting article stating this:
" Less well appreciated is the role that external authoritarian actors have played in facilitating this deterioration. Russia stands out in this regard. Among other aims, undermining democracy has been a strategic objective of Russia’s Africa policy for the past two decades. "

When it comes to racism, that still doesn’t change the fact that the west has a terrible history of it.
There is a reason why you see the AK-47 in a few African flags.
How is the west treating Africans and Palestinians right now?
And again, they have also no problem dealing with (and in some cases supporting) African authoritarian regimes. So how are they morally superior to Russia in that regard?

I can’t think of a lot of situations where Russia would be the good guy tbh
