Communism is a classless stateless society based on production for use, with no rulers or money. It can only exist on a global level, so there can be no such thing as a Communist country.
Italy and france was not an Eastern European nation that was under communist control
The theory of communism was developed in Germany by Karl Marx and Freidrich Engels; based in part on social theories from Plato.However it was in Russia that communists first took power in a country and attempted to govern a nation by communist theory.
Vietnam was never Communist, as it still had rulers, classes and production for sale. Communism is a classless stateless society, and will have to operate at a global level.

In a communist state, the rulers benefit most.
I'm not sure I understand your question. Most Communist countries have been run by a dictator: there may have been "elections" but the result is already decided. Each Communist country has its own leader who is in charge of the government. Some are called Prime Minister, some are called President, some are called Chairman (of the Communist Party). But there are rarely free and fair elections, nor is dissent generally allowed; the leader of each of the Communist countries generally rules that country with an iron hand.
The Soviet Union.The Soviet Union, under Joseph Stalin, considered itself to be the world's leader of Communism, since they had the world's first and only Communist country (which is a bit of a contradiction, but that's a story for another time).As the Soviets liberated countries in Eastern Europe, they tended to work with local Communist parties in those countries, and then would install their leaders as the new rulers of the country. With a new Communist government in control, the Soviet Union would then control that government, and thus, that country.
The Communists were defeated, and the Communist rulers were ousted from their posts.
Socialist This is about the only alternative to "communist" because basically, communism is complete socialism.
