For the life of me, I can’t understand how people think Russia is communist. Like, at least the PRC is nominally communist and describes itself as a communist state (even if it’s not really doing communism).

But Russia? The USSR was dissolved decades ago. The Russian Federation never claimed to be communist. Are these people just stuck in the Cold War?

Tim Walz made some gross tweet mourning this guy and calling it a tragic loss. Kinda underlines the whole “Democratic establishment is out of touch” line we’ve been hearing since the election
