>they are only opposing to article 13 because Putin asked them to do so

The technical term for what happened here is "jumping the shark" [1]. Accusations of this or that worldview or tendencies is one thing, but injecting conspiracy theories into serious discussion is entirely different ballpark.

Especially when it's already well documented how terrible Article 13 is.

It's not.

There are many proofs about contacts between Lega or 5 star movement and Putin's emissaries.

Unfortunately many of them are in Italian.

Just look for Jacobo Iacoboni articles, that might have been translated and published in english.

His book 'the experiment' is also worth reading.

I don't doubt that Lega and 5 star have a connection with Putin, but what is Putin's interest in opposing Article 13?

If anything, I'd expect him to support it, hoping to ruin European internet access.
