Russia is capitalist: minority class own the means of production, most people work for wages, goods and services are produced for sale. Russia was never Communist, which would mean no classes, no wages system, no money, no rulers. it used to be state capitalist but is now predominantly private capitalist.

Russia is still a socialist society. They have had a great number of changes, but the system is still socialist in nature.

∙ 15y agoThe so-called "Operated democracy".
Russia elects its leaders democratically and the current (2009) government is certainly a popular, legitimate government.
Poor development of local governments and the non-governmental organisations.
The strong central power
It now not a communistic totalitarian society.
Nobody interferes with private life as for example in Northern Kорее or on a Cube.
However, at present it appears (from the outside) that the government/authorities seem to suppress some sort dissenting public demonstrations and censer the press quite actively

Communism has no government, as it has no classes and is not based on one class exploiting another. Russia (USSR) was a state capitalist system.

Why do we still have an imbargo on Cuba?
cuba is still a communist nation, yes communism still exists. china, vietnam, and Peoples Republic of North Korea are other notable communist nations. we do still trade with china a lot. the most important reason why we don't trade with cuba is because of the role they once played. The Cuban missile crisis mostly.
Why did events in Asia and Europe dominate U.S foreign policy during the cold war period?
During the Cold War the policy of the United States was one of containment of communism. China dominated Asia and it was a communist country. US policy was to try to contain the Chinese spread of communist doctrine in Southeast Asia. In Europe it was containment of Russian communist doctrine and to stop the Russians from attempting to enter Western Europe. It was felt if Russia would invade through Poland and enter central Germany in force. To some extent there is still a bit of that philosophy present in American foreign policy. It can be seen with the American reaction to the Russian take over of parts of the Ukraine. Today NATO is adding troops to Germany.
For many years American referred to the peoples Republic Of China as Communist China Why would that label be misleading today?
While China is still ruled by a political party named the Communist Party of China, many changes were made to the system. One noticeable change is the idea of a "free market" implemented by Deng Xiaoping. He opened up the nation to foreign investors. This was a key step towards the growing country we see today. Without foreign investments from the United States or Europe, China would be going backwards. It depends on your criterion.If you judge China from politics,however, calling China a communist nation still fits. For example, the media is still heavily blocked. In fact, CCTV, a state-owned TV program is censored to fit the government's interests. The current president, Hu Jintao, actually strengthened censorship after arriving in office. Also, land still belongs to the nation. If you judge China from economy or popular culture,there is no difference in general.Most of youth favour theInternet more than TVs and the censorship is negligible on the Internet.
