Support Stalin: which country liberated Auschwitz? What country wrested control of Berlin from the Nazis? The Soviet Union. "Every Party member must raise his revolutionary qualities in every respect to the same level as those of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin" -Nelson Mandela

Support modern Russia- Russia opposes NATO, and anything that hurts the west is good. Also the current Ukraine government was founded by guys who want to "lead the white races of the world in a final crusade … against Semite-led Untermenschen." Anyone killing Nazis is good, and Russia is currently doing so. "Russians are Asians. They have a completely different culture, vision. Our key difference from them is humanity" -Aleksy Danilov, head of Ukraine national security and defense council.

In both cases, it's less of "these guys good" but of "the other guys worse."
