You mean you haven't seen their troops using the soviet flag?

I haven't. But I wouldn't be surprised if a couple Russian soldiers would waive one for Nostalgia or something possibly. But most of the former USSR are now members of NATO members (notable exception being Ukraine.) and would not be vulnerable to another Soviet takeover anytime soon.

He who does not regret the break-up of the Soviet Union has no heart; he who wants to revive it in its previous form has no head.

They got a taste of the soviet occupation and are doing anything they can to avoid it happening again.

Yes. Making the risk of a reunited USSR pretty much non-existent. Which along with Russia not being a communist country was my entire point of questioning the your commie comment.

I am no closer to an answer now than when I began sadly.
