Could Communism return to Russia? Also, is this biography of Stalin a historically reliable read? I'm studying the history of Russian communism this semester at uni and I'd like to do some surplus reading.

If you want some surplus reading on how Stalin rose to power and a great depection of his personal life and how it changed over time I'd recommend The Red Tsar by Simon Sebag Montefiore.
Communism is pretty dead in this day and age, the chances for it to return outright are pretty much nill. Many of the same people are still in power though.
Can't comment on the book as I haven't read it.

Yes, the communist party of the Russian Federation is the second biggest party in Russia.
Ironically given the 4chan perspective of global politics it's probably more likely to return to Russia than to come for the first time to anywhere in the western world.
