To make it clear, I don't mean how their governments were officially suppose to work but how they work / worked in practice.
This came up because somebody I was talking to face to face was saying that Russia is trying to go communist again and that their government is basically communism.
Now, maybe I am mistaken but it seems like Soviet Era communism and modern Russian Oligarchy are very different things. I just don't know how I can explain things succinctly and I may have my own misconceptions.
Anybody help untangle these issues? I did try some searches but nothing relevant appeared to come up.
I realize that this discussion might fit better in history and am torn if this is more history or more politics?
