Kremlintarianism

Kremlintarianism [1] is is the defense of Kremlin policy (Kremlinism) by alleged libertarians.

Kremlinism and Kremlinophilia

It is a form of Kremlinophilia and Putinism, etc.

As such it defends Kremlinism (the policy of the Kremlin kremlin.ru), Russian Imperialism, etc.

The worst kind of Kremlinophilia

Arguably, it is the worst type of Kremlinophilia, as its purported ideas (libertarianism, antistate, antiwar, decentralization, etc) are the complete opposite of what it is actually supporting (Reverse straw man).

More Kremlinist than the Kremlin?

As the Kremlin propaganda keeps shifting, sometimes they have trouble keeping up. For instance, some of them are still clinging to the lies about NATO expansion as reason for Kremlinism, even while more senior Kremlinists switched to openly embracing Imperialism. [2] [3]
