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.
Krushchev and Revisionists Co. famously Stalin stans
