Orthodox Christianity has undergone revival since the fall of the Soviet Union.

Few in Russia are interested in Marxist ideals.

The Communist Party has come in second in national elections since the Soviet time but its unlikely to ever become the party of power again.

People in Russia accept the Soviet period is part of their history but it has no practical relevance to many of them alive today - especially to the generation born after the Soviet Union disappeared.

Russia today is a normal and not a revolutionary state and the West has yet to come to terms with it.

Your comments are accurate, however we need to mention and understand that the legacy older citizenry of Russia have their survival, pensions and retirement incomes dependent on Communist programs that the Russian Federation supports as an obligation to Russian citizens.

The Bureaucracy seems like the Communist method and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation seems familiar to them. This will have to be reformed slowly as this segment of the population slowly fades.
