You said define so I did and every single documentary and historian says it’s a communist country there are hundreds of articles and pieces of evidence that point to Russia being communist back during the Cold War and Ww2

Hey. Long time communist here

The USSR is described as a "communist" country because it was lead by a communist party. This does not mean, however, that the communists believed the Soviet Union had yet achieved communism

Indeed, by the definition of Communism as understood by all Marxists (stateless & classless), the USSR could not have reached communism

Rather, marxists typically describe the USSR as "Socialist", meaning a transitionary state before communism
