Uneducated people

No. On the whole these people tend to be overly well educated, just look at someone like Chomsky, arguably one of the greatest academics alive today but a total Russia simp too. These people are usually called tankies after backing the Soviet invasion of, I think Hungary in 1956 and tend to be university educated leftists on the whole. Former British prime ministerial candidate Jeremy Corbyn would be another example.

Just to be clear, being pro communism / socialism does not make you pro Russia.
