Russia isn't the USSR but it is heading towards the USSR ways, and it's already there in many aspects. It's not just on a technical definition, a lot of pro-war and nationalist rhetoric is rooted in the old USSR culture.

The USSR wasn't socialist, it was communist. And yes I know, it wasn't real communism because real communism is a utopia.
