Well if you're going to be so specific as to say "genzedong-style", maybe pay attention to the "zedong" part? Presumably they believe in socialism-with-chinese-characteristics as a path towards communism.
Putin idk, in my experience they usually only support russia insofar as it undermines the hegemony of the United States, whose consolidated power over global affairs has been a major blocker of left wing movements worldwide since ww2. But there are some who seem to take it more seriously than that and either are too caught up in the memes or legitimately don't understand that modern russia is a capitalist hellscape.
