New Russia was stillborn. What exists now is Old Russia wearing a different-colored coat.

Also it’s hard for any society to totally divorce itself from its past. Furthermore, as often as not trying to do so comes back to bite them.

update:

True, they’re no longer Communist as such. But their expansion into a (for them) wildly capitalistic economy has fizzled.

Both politically and economically it seems that they’re slowly slipping back into the old Soviet era mentality. I think a lot of the aging hardliners miss their glory days and the youngsters who saw it all fall apart yearn for what they (mistakenly?) belive was “better days”.
