It's easy, there's no such thing as a good Russia for Liberals. Can't be Capitalist, can't be Socialist, can't be Tsarist...
The only good Russia is one that's Balakanized and exploited by western oligarchs.
From interacting with liberals they seem to think Russia is still under a communist party.
Sometimes they try to decouple liberalism from fascism and claim they went straight to fascism from Socialism.
they liked 90s russia, when it was weak, full of child prostitutes and people were dying en-masse from substance abuse (and the barn doors were wide open so they could loot it)
I’m guessing they’re talking along the tune of ‘communism was never done right’ except it’s ‘the liberalism was never done right’
Oh almost certainly, I just never waste an opportunity I see to hopefully educate someone a bit more on Marxist Theory if I can.
