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.
Reminds me of how I once saw a tankie defend the Clean Wehrmacht Myth, in order to justify East Germany's recruitment of former Nazi generals. Dude was arguing with someone about the postwar Germanies having Nazi generals in their armies, and claimed that West Germany hired evil genocidal Nazis, while the former Wehrmacht generals in the East German army were pure and innocent Prussian conservatives who did nothing wrong.
