red guardian played by david harbour has lenin's face tatooed onto his forearm and has "karl" on his fingers on one hand, and "marx" on the other. red guardian is the soviet version of captain america, super soldier serum and all that
I think part of it is that they seem to conflate the super secret projects with the ideologies of USSR itself. They're doing evil super-science not like the super-science that made Captain America. David Harbour's character is proud of the body counts they accomplish more than accomplishing specifically anti-capitalist things. It's what they're not saying.
I guess, but the dude does feel kind of betrayed by the bad guy and Russia as well at the same time.
I did also notice that the film is very much like "the evil USSR had a brainwashing program that turned people into soldiers" and that leaves a bad taste in my mouth when MKULTRA is literally a thing that exists.
Do they have soviet superheroes in this one?

He's kind of an ass but they don't really shit on the USSR at all.
Also I swear he says he's in jail for complaining about the actions of the party, which I can only assume was the revisionism lol
