"Tanksplaining" is when tankies "mansplain" to Soviet Union Survivors and their descendants that they're "spreading Nazi propaganda" and they didn't really suffer under the authoritarian regime.
"The Soviet Union waited for the Warsaw uprising to end before marching in like martyrs and then sent my grandparents and many others who fought the Nazis off to the Gulag camp."
"Have you considered your grandparents are just spreading Nazi propaganda?"
"Please stop Tanksplaining history to me."
