Can someone explain to this european from a former soviet block why tankies think Russia is aligned with their worldview?

I mean, soviet union about 60s maybe still was, but after that, and especially after the fall of USSR it's a mafia-ran state, not a socialist paradise.

What is going on?

America bad. America hate Russia. Russia good.

This is it exactly. There is absolutely zero room for nuance in the tankie brain.

They're fucking idiots.

The soviet union has been on the side of the left and communism for about minutes before Lenin and friends decided that worker power would threaten their power too much.

The only thing I remember from Sputnik news is an article discussing how Baltic countries will be divided into people's republics and "International Economic Polygons".
