Wouldn’t that impugn that whole communism thingy?
No, because only the elite, loyal communists will pass the "tests" while everone else will be denied for some vague reasons.
This is just a means of protecting the ruling class from their subjects.

Russia is no longer officially communist. They are a “crony capitalist” oligarchy, ruled by ex-KGB elites. They are not democratic in the American sense, but they do not force marxist ideology on their populations like they did in the USSR.
