There is no such thing as a "leftist nation", and the idea is completely ridiculous. You cant classify countries with millions of people and many different interest groups on a right-left scale.
And how much can you really know about the Russian government if you dont speak Russian? Only what English media tells you, no?
It's crap, I can tell you that. My cousin studies in Moscow and came back for the summer. He visited us today and he was telling us how he hates it there because the entire system is messed up. He also kept saying there isn't a more racist and Nazi country on Earth than Russia.
The soviet union was also not very leftist. It had socialist policies but they seem to have forgotten the purpose of socialism quite fast.
