Yeah, I wouldn't call him an apologist for Russia myself - the opposing narrative is simply 'Russia barged into Ukraine out of nowhere and we need to show them who the real boss is!!!' and start going off on tangents about how awful Putin is and all the rest. None of which Corbyn denies - he seems to simply be advocating taking a pragmatic approach rather than heading towards inevitable worsening of the tension.
All that said I think it's his foreign policy that will make him near un-electable, rather than being too left-wing. He's too subtle in how he discusses things, so I think the masses response is likely to be "U wot m8? We shouldn't bomb ISIS to oblivion?"
