No, they did not, at least true communism as envisioned by Karl Marx. The Bolsheviks imposed a socialist system in Russia even though they called it communist. In Marxian communism there would be no social classes, no thought of working for personal wealth and no government. When Lenin and the Bolsheviks took over, social classes did not disappear. People in charge of government still looked down on the ordinary worker and peasant farmer. People still wanted to work for personal gain. This necessitated first imposition of "war communism," then the New Economic Policy. Finally, there certainly was a government. One that was more oppressive and repressive of the ordinary citizen that the Tsars or the bourgeoisie had ever been.
