Clearly you don't understand the term.........eg old line communists in Russia (who want favor the former style of government) are conservatives......the more progressive Russias, ie Putin are liberal.......

There conservative by a different definition of the word conservative, one that isn't well connected to the conservative movement in American politics. Conservative can mean reluctant to change or reluctant to change quickly. By that definition people who opposed welfare reform, or oppose entitlement reform, or oppose school choice are conservative. When you try to use different meanings of a word to confuse an argument its known as the logical fallacy of equivocation. Example: A feather is light.What is light cannot be dark.Therefore, a feather cannot be dark. Or the example your dealing with (in an implied argument, rather then directly stated as such) Communists in Russia were conservative. Communists in Russia were bad Therefore conservatives are bad. That's not only an example of equivocation. That's not the only fallacy in such an argument. Even if there was no equivocation All A is B All A is C Therefore all B is C is not a valid argument
