What I really don't get with tankies is their reverence of Russia. Their history can be summarized like so: and then everything took a change for the worse. To this day Russia is an empire where white people use colonized people to die for bits of field in parts they already starved in 1932-1933.

I'm not well versed in tankie discourse, but to challenge specifically your point, I agree Putin is very bad but surely Stalin was much worse?

Tankie discourse is more along the lines of "Putin is good but Stalin was even better".
