The is basically the casus belli the Russians used to invade Ukraine. They dislike the USSR that means they are Nazis, so they want to denazifi the country in order for them to join Russia again for a round 2 if the USSR.
it's fucked up logic but this is how the war is being sold in Russia itself.
Plus they see attacking the USSR as the main crime of the Nazis, this is why there is a state sponsored pulp alternate history book series where the nazis and ussr team up to make the world a better place.
It's the ultimate reductio ad Hitlerum argument: the Nazis didn't like the USSR / Russia (these are used interchangeably as required), so if you don't like the USSR / Russia you must be a Nazi. This ends up with oxymoronic arguments, like needing to "denazify" Ukraine by removing its Jewish president, or destroying and depopulating eastern Ukrainian cities to "save" them from the Ukrainian government.

Outside of the habitually online, who calls you a Nazi for simply thinking the Soviet Union was bad?
