A beacon to the right wing?

He was working with the Kremlin, among other things...

Edit: I might have misunderstood the use of beacon here?

The Kremlin has been firmly far-right since 2000 and firmly right-wing since at least 1991.

The kremlin is autocratic, it's a dictatorship.

Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture and this picture.

The kremlin is extreme-right if you have to put them on a left-right scale. But IMO they do not belong there, they're a dictatorship. They can tout they're extreme left if they want (they did) and it wouldn't change anything.
