just that in Russia today, Communists are considered to be conservative.

By some, and by a totally different meaning of conservative.

Drawing any significant meaning in to that is like saying that coal mining is environmentally friendly as long as the equipment is all green (painted green).

Too many make the mistake of using our definition for the rest of the world. A conservative is one who resists change or wants to go back to a previous time......

Not "our definition" and "their definition", essentially a totally different term that just happens to use the same word, like light meaning, low weight, low calorie, electromagnetic radiation, or other meanings. You don't only have those two definitions, conservative can also mean avoiding risk, you have conservative investors, but the might be politically liberal.
