Let's start with the extremist front and ignore Russia for a minute. The most prominent extremists to involve themselves in this stunt other than Posobiec: a Daily Stormer neo-Nazi and a Holocaust denier.
Posobiec says he's not an antisemite: https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2020/07/08/jack-posobiecs-rise-tied-white-supremacist-movement
