No, Russia is no longer communist economically, but it remains the same politically: everything revolves around the leader, and no one can contradict him. They've changed the anthem, the flag, and the party name, but the system of power remains the same—centralized, authoritarian, and paranoid. Instead of "Comrade Stalin," it's now "Tovarich Putin." And yes, the opposition still has the bad habit of "falling" out of windows hahahhaha

No dispute from me. As terrible as that is... communism is actually even worse. That's the lesson to me. The more I learn about Russian history the more terrible it looks. Its one terrible thing after another. I really feel for the average Russian pleb.
