∙ 13y agoYes, the USSR was communist in the 1950s. This was during the Cold War, which was between the democratic US and the communist Soviet Union. Today, the USSR is known as Russia, and it is no longer communist. Russia is a Federal semi-presidential democratic republic today, with both a prime minister and a president heading the country.
No country in the world has ever been Communist, in the sense that Marx and Engles would have understood the word. They just pretend they are, then set up a Totalitarian Dictatorship.
