    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.
