Lenin? Why do politicians keep pretending Russia is still the USSR.
Can't blame communism for your own capitalist mess.

There’s a German movie called "Good Bye, Lenin!" where a woman wakes up from a heart attack caused coma after the fall of the DDR but is still in critical condition where any excitement could be her death. And her son, thinking that the collapse of the Eastern Bloc would be too much for her weak heart, decides to let her remain in the belief that the Soviet Union is still going strong by doing all kinds of elaborate tricks and lies.
Maybe they did the same thing with this guy to make him think that Lenin is still in power? 
they're not pretending that, really. they're explaining that communist was always just a replaceable label, what they really hate are russians.
They hate communists, but their true enemies are the Asiatic hordes
It's hilarious that they want to jump down Russia's throat about communism when most Soviet leaders weren't even Russian (including the most famous one, Stalin).
As we know, Putin is a big fan of Lenin. https://apnews.com/general-news-7384e0f96dfb41ceaa3724f5c1deae6a
