Just learned about this word and I'm mildly annoyed it's only one letter away from being an anagram of tankie.

I already saw refusenik in israeli context. So, I guess, this word can adapt to any situation. Just like russian apparatchik (a part of a government appartus) I was surprised to see in the old-ass Hunt for the Red October by Tom Clancy.
