    Generally someone who makes justifications and/or excuses for totalitarian communist regimes and their atrocities.

    It came from still supporting Stalin after he sent tanks into a rebelling territory.

      Stalin didn’t send the tanks, he died in 1953, while the hungarian revolution happened in 1956, the prague spring uprising even later in 1968, and as far as I know the term was created in connection with these events.
