A court in the central Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod has jailed a woman for wearing rainbow earrings, the human rights group Egida reported late Wednesday, marking the second case of its kind after Russia banned the so-called “LGBT movement” as an “extremist” organization in November.

As if tankies aren’t constantly simping for both Russia and China on here.
A little history refresher on the origin of the term
The term “tankie” was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to crush the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring uprising, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.

I must admit that I haven’t met any who do so can’t argue for or against this. I can understand that they might have done 20-30 years ago but I don’t see them “simpling for” any of them really.
But neither Russia or China are kommunist regimes any longer. Maybe back when the term was coined, as you described in your quote but not any longer. Before it dead the community now it is the leader
As if Russia is anything else than a dictatorship…
