The Soviet Union was the center of communism. When it fell other communist countries either adopted democracy or free-market reforms.
When Russia went communist following the Bolshevik Revolution, it became known as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR or Soviet Union). Russia is now an Illiberal Democracy as opposed to a Communist Dictatorship. Most former Soviet States sit on the continuum from Illiberal Democracy and Dictatorship, but none are Communist anymore.
