if you think that Putin's actions toward the former Soviet republics is based on his being a Communist, instead of just being a Russian, you're sadly mistaken.

The democratic transition is widespread - its in Ukraine, Belarus, Russia etc.
All of the former Soviet republics did not replace every man, woman and child when the Soviet union collapsed, instead they did as evolution have predicted - they adapted to change (same goes for the Romans, when their empire collapsed ;-))) So yes, Putin is Russian, but he has adapted some of the former communist deeds, so he can "leash" the ®evolution... his acts speak louder than words. If It acts like a communist and speak like a communist, then it’s probably a communist.
