Gorbechev removed alot of it that with a Semi Revolution witha push to Democracy.

However Putin has moved many many things back under State Authority.
People in Russia have state jobs now and a recovering labor force.
SO what is Russia?

Its market economy. Not as extreme as in the US, but it is market economy. Nobody guarantees you permanent job. That would be keritsu system in japan. Sweden is socialist.. Norway as well. Government owns oil companies and natural resources. Whats your point?
