The Left never forgave Russia for abandoning Communism. They want it back.

Russia may have adopted a capitalistic economy, but their internal “modus operandi” is still absolutely Soviet-style in nature. The Kremlin acts like a deep-state machine : journalist have to be pro government in Russia, or they will be arrested, or have an accident falling out from a window / 7th floor is usually enough. True political opposition is forbidden. Russias prisons are full of political prisoners. Also, Russia still has this habit of annexing by force neighboring sovereign countries. Just like the Soviet period.
Or look at China, they decided to accept and use capitalism as a weapon against the West. But China is still deeply communist.
Russia is still deeply “Soviet”.
You got that right.
