At the time of the collapse of the communist regime in the Russian society anti-communist sentiments were very strong. But in 20 years of stupid and ill-conceived "reform", the level of life of Russian citizens has worse than it was under communism (except for Moscow and resource extraction regions). So in the Russian society again became popular leftist ideas (socialist). The words "liberal" and "Democrat" sound now in Russia as sinonimy word "thief" and "corrupt." This is a result of the actions of post-Soviet authorities.
Although the revival of communist ideas, I think, is impossible. Even the Russian Communist Party really is not. Gone was their main thesis of the "class struggle." It is now in fact a common European-style socialist party that operates a well-known brand.
