They are communist in name only.

Russia hasn't been communist in even name since it was part of the USSR. The only people who really consider them communist are liberals who don't understand the difference between the USSR and the Russian Federation.

I am not the Official Spokesman of Communism, but most communities I have seen and participate in aren't pro-modern Russia. We might be against things like banning anything with "russian" in the name, but that doesn't mean we see them as the second coming of the USSR. The Russian Federation is still an imperialist capitalist nation as much as any of the others.

You have the patsocs and stuff that might be more on board with Russia, but we don't really claim them.
