What a disappointing guy. The least he could have done was take out Putin before he died.

If Putin dies you're not getting someone nicer, you're getting someone significantly worse. Of the United Russia party he's pretty much a moderate force within the party compared to the alternatives. And there isn't any other party that would magically assume power if he died.

What if they did take over would you move to Russia and live in the communist “paradise?”

The USSR wasn't a paradise (communism isn't magic) but it was better than anything in Russia before or since. It's not like turning to capitalism in the 90s made the country a utopia.
