Are they still communists at heart?
No they're just sad third worlders. Putins party operates by appealing to every side of the political spectrum including importing muzzies, they still back commies but the government is just dudes funneling away state funds

Russian society falls into dysfunction whenever there isn't a national 'great idea' galvanizing them to action. In the 20th century this great idea was gommunism. Presently, they have no lofty ideology to serve and as such they have regressed to a life of mere subsistence: this is the nature of the mysterious Russian soul. Such cases.

Fuck him, he's dumb faggot.
Liberal president should have been Prokhorov. And Navalny should be someone in the Gosduma who will fight the corruption. But definetely not president.
they disbanded the USSR because they thought other soviet states were a burden on them, then they faced harsh capitalism, i think they miss the safety of soviet times, not the actual ideology, they probably want a modern imperial russia rather than a USSR

If your only metric is having geopolitical clout (and losing even that towards 1989), sure. With the landmass and natural resources they occupied and nationalities they assimilated, doing any worse would have been a silly achievement in its own right.
But it's commonly known that apart from some heavy industry, military and space tech, societies and economies in the Soviet block spent the latter half of the 20th century in steady stagnation.
Maybe not Communists, but they will always be sore losers at heart.
Are Putinbots often are homo sovieticus?
