I don't know if this is a trend that is unique to my country (Brazil) but I have seeing a strong stalinist movement in the internet that evolves relatively popular youtubers disseminating the old bullshit about the historical '' necessity 'of the forced industrialization with all its causalities and horrors in the Stalinist era. Succinctly that stalinist revival assert nationalism and productivism as the ideological backbone while it takes the nation-state as the only subject capable of making historical changes.
If that movement gets bigger and relevant, this would be a huge retrogression for the radical left; is as if the left had doesn't learn at all about the soviet collapse.
It's not unique to Brazil. The US has PSL and WWP, originally splits from Trotskyism in the '50s, that now attract a tonne of young internet Stalinists

In the UK it's maybe not so pronounced, but there are young supporters of the CPGB-ML online, and also Red London.
A lot of the online tankie stuff clusters around the Max Blumenthal/Ben Norton grayzone project. They only lightly touch on historical defences of Stalin (although Norton specifically explicitly supports tanks putting down Hungary '56), but they will do things like defend China as 'socialist'.
There's also crossovr from some of this lot / group leadership into third positionism, or at least sharing platforms with them: https://libcom.org/library/investigation-red-brown-alliances-third-posit...
