I suspect this guy is another post-East Bloc boomer who’s nostalgic for the USSR more out of nationalist pride than genuine socialism, but the fact he said Leningrad instead of Stalingrad gives me mild hope. Weirdo Russian NatBols trend to be pure Stalin Stans while repeating that “Lenin was a German spy” BS.
Let’s be fair here, dudes with Stalin and Nicholas II tattoos side-by-side are fair to seriously suspect of having an ideology that would boil down to NazBolism, since they are worshiping a guy falsely accused of doing anti-semitic pogroms and also a guy who actually did them.
That’s just a tattoo from a random dude, I was trying to be lighthearted, but it seems the connection of “Russian communists are all Nazis” is really strong to people?
NazBols and Nazis aren’t quite the same, I knew about that image before seeing that you attached it in the thread, and I’m not saying “All Russian communists” (in fact, I specifically note there are many real Russian communists), just that Russia is the #1 place to be a fan of Stalin and not a communist. There are communist Stalin fans, and in fact I believe this guy is one, but there are also reactionary, vibes-based Stalin fans.

Could they simply be boring revisionist Soviets akin to Khrushchev (still a huge upgrade from any Liberal party)? No, they are secret Nazis!

What if the Nicholas tat is him looking like swiss cheese and a lot of ketchup?

Gotcha my bad just making sure you didn’t think I was implying the candidate in question had that tattoo 😄
Didn’t call him a NazBol.
