Modern capitalist Russia is closer to 1984 than Soviet Union. Fuck Putin.
no, fundamentally the only thing that really changed is who the inner and outer party is
No. For one SU did not have oligarchs. Also SU had really good(for its time) healthcare and education, while Putin's mafia closed or defunded few orders of magnitude more hospitals and clinics, than opened, many schools work in 2 shifts, some even 3. UR has party in it's name, but it lacks ideology. "Steal money here, spend it in the West, luxury for members, misery and poverty for everyone else" hardly counts as one, it is literally description of mafia.
From organized crime groups.
Yep. Oligarchs came into existance after union collapse. And usually not political elite, but beaurocratic elite also called nomenclature.
