Oh yeah, you don't even need Tankies in the Communist world for some of that. I think I read a great BA piece (redundant I know) on it. This one was just notable because it was integrated into that new Russian nationalism narrative which seems to consider certain aspects of the Soviet Union to be canon, like all the territory it had, but otherwise distances itself from the Soviets. IIRC, the article didn't even mention it except maybe a couple times. It was more about Russia vs. UKRAINIAN LIES.
