Roman Catholic AnswerIn the Catholic Church we do not celebrate Holy Communion, we celebrate the Eucharist or Holy Mass as it is commonly called. Holy Communion only refers to the union of the Communicant with Our Blessed Lord through the reception of His Body and Blood, usually inside of Holy Mass. The Mass is the re-presentation of Our Blessed Lord's Passion and Death on the Cross, the making present of this one Sacrifice for us, the the making available of the graces earned for us by Our Blessed Lord on the Cross. These graces are given most excellently through the reception of Holy Communion.

Why do Church of England churches let Catholics take communion?

The Church of England allows Catholics, and I presume others, to receive communion out of a "spirit of Ecumenism." Whilst they allow this, a Catholic should not partake of communion with any "church" which is not in communion with Rome; as to do so, is an explicit consent to the believes and teachings of said "church." Please see the link below for a full explanation as to why it is wrong for Catholics to receive communion in a Church not in communion with Rome.

What are two of the reasons for the decline of communion on Russia?

If you meant the question as written, communion decreased in Russia for two major reasons. One, Russia has a majority of Eastern Orthodox adherents and although they do perform communion, such communion is unrecognized by Catholics which could lead to the perception that communions have declined. Two, under communism, the various Churches were banned and people who were faithful took communion in secret. Many, however, gave up the practice. If you actually meant "communism" instead of "communion", the answer is "perestroika" (economic liberalization) and "glasnost" (personal/social freedoms).
