For the record, I know of at least two members of this board that are Marxists. I'll let them reveal themselves if they choose to do so. That said, I think that everyone needs to refocus on the OP.
I sincerely doubt that Russia is going restore the Communists to power. If anything, they're going to swing towards the right. Putin has no love for the Communist Party and views them as one of the only significant challenges to his power, not that he really has to worry about that with a 70+% approval rating. Putin may have been KGB, but equating the KGB or the NKVD or any of the predecessor agencies as the home of the true believers in the communist cause is just plain old ignorant. If you're going to make that kind of statement, then I'll just go ahead and pre-emptively tell you that you don't know what you're talking about and that ALL the evidence is to the contrary.
And jorgelito, any nation with the second largest stockpile of nuclear weapons and that is the second largest exporter of oil is not a "non-entity".
