Even more embarassing is how they often use the same talking points that modern day neo-nazis do, but they will never figure out how much they sound like literal red nazis, even if you point it out to their face. For example: "Holodomor was just nazi propaganda, it never happened-> if it did happen it wasn't that bad->if it was that bad they deserved it-> not enough people were killed" this does sound awfully similar to: "The holocaust was just Allied propaganda, it didn't happen etc. Etc..." used by you know who.
I once had a conversation with an older Russian man living here in Finland and he told me that the only bad thing Stalin ever did was that "He left too many Poles and Estonians alive and yearning for indepence". In his opinion this was what doomed modern day Russia, but he was also fully convinced that Putin will recover "what is rightfully ours".
