Putin and Russia haven't changed a BIT since the wall went down. One of my best friends is from Ukraine... she can tell you all about it. Russia is almost certainly going to go back to Communism. And while Leftist in the US and Europe will simultaneously blame the USA for it and quietly celebrate it at cocktail parties, no one in the west will openly admit the real reason for it: Russians, like Muslims, LIKE dictatorship. They NEED dictatorship. They LIKE oppression. ... But that would be insensitive to say that So instead we'll just blame George Bush.
The USSR still exists. It's boundries are that of the pre-Stalin USSR.
However, eastern Ukraine wants to rejoin with Russia.

Russia will never go back to communism. I think the Ukraine will go there first.
