      No, we called the USSR communist. After the USSR dissolved in 1991, Russia became an independent country, the Russian Federation, with a different political and economic system.

      A better comparison would be China, who does claim to be communist—yet has next to zero to do with actual communism (‘socialist’ market economy mixed with authoritarianism)
