This Newsweek was taking Putin out of context. Putin said he admired the ideals of socialism and communism nut in reality they are not workable. That is an important distinction.

A distinction without a difference. Putin is a communist in his heart.

I can't speak to what is in a person's heart. Putin clearly stated communism is a failed ideology and that being well intentioned does not mean it produces good results.
