Yugopnik criticized Infrared for incorporating Alexander Dugin's theory of multipolarity into Marxist-Leninist thought. Haz Al-Din replied with Yugopnik's comment on an early Infrared video, in which he praises Infrared despite this particular video clearly showing sympathy for Dugin's outlook.
Yugopnik is a supposedly "Marxist-Leninist" Balkan Breadtuber and part of The Deprogram podcast with Hakim and Second Thought. He is notable for having left a comment on one of Infrared’s earliest streams on YouTube.
He also posted a meme to his 84,000 followers on X about American imperialism, in which he edited the meme to remove mention of US support for Ukraine in the Russo-Ukrainian War and was called out by Infrared for doing so.
