I see you edited your post from what it originally said. It did say that Russia was communists. The government is getting more powerful, forceful, and expanding their power. They suppress rights, laws, and corruption is the worst of any nation. The olympics cost well over 50 billion the last one cost 10bil... Russians economy was good for a while, people were getting paid, and its people being brought out of poverty. With Putin as president, his people have gotten poorer but his government richer and more powerful. Look at the Ukraine and there involvement with Syria. There government is getting powerful ever day and at each event. You say they are capitalist.. Lol no, its about as capitalist as Venezuela is a democracy... Kros Venezuela as of right now has there president already picked, to carry on what the current president is doing.
