fwiw, even Lyube has a song memorialising Makhno, Батька Махно, and I don't know if they're considered tankies, but they're definitely tankie-adjacent (they sang at the pro-"Z" concert at the start of the invasion, ffs).

Pro-Soviet, not "pro-Russian."

I was specifically referring to the vein of tankies that are pro-Russia in the ongoing invasion of Ukraine (yes they exist)

I'm not sure what's going on in https://youtu.be/LffLqUwlY2Y?t=200 , but would not be surprised if it's something to do with rehabilitating Stalin (of the eponymous tanks)?
