Vladimir Lenin, can we have the Bolshevism back?

In a New York Times article published October 17, 2009 from MOSCOW, "Russia’s Leaders See China as Template for Ruling." My first thought, "ARE THEY JOKING?.." Well to further read the article, I discovered, they are indeed not joking! Looks like the ever popular "Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov" aka "Vladimir Ilyich Lenin" the past Bolshevik leader is still dwelling inside the Russians brain. The apple cannot fall far from the tree, right? "Nearly two decades after the collapse of the Communist Party, Russia’s rulers have hit upon a model for future success: the Communist Party." Looks like a known failure in the works, as they failed the first time. "United Russia’s leaders even convened a special meeting this month with senior Chinese Communist Party officials to hear firsthand how they wield power." Russia will attempt to model China's Communist Party? Not smart. China struggles as a country, and obviously has hardly any freedom, why would anyone want to model them? My thought is a mask to keep the elite, elite, while the proletariat suffer under the tight control placed upon them. Communism as a cover for what goes on behind closed door of the powers that be. "What they admire, it seems, is the Chinese ability to use a one-party system to keep tight control over the country while still driving significant economic growth." The publication just called out my thoughts. Russia wants to keep it's people under tight control and guide/drive them like puppets. Lately, there is a lot of communication between Russia and China going on, as one can see on all the news outlets online. Drudge Report will track down a few good reads on the Russia/China communications. One can only wonder what's truly going on deep behind closed doors with those two country's. Anyone care to elaborate?...
