No, there economic model is a mix of socialism and capitalism, roughly the same as the US.
Remember, communism is only an economic model. It only deals with who owns the property. It has nothing to do with how the laws are made or who is in charge.

First, define communism. It actually is amatter of quite some debate, particularly among various strains of self-described "communists". Anarchist communists, for instance, would say something along the lines of no country with a government can be "true" communism.

Not officially. Some see it slipping towards totalitarianism. The media is a point of major concern especially; the news being given to the people is filtered through Kremlin-friendly companies.

Putin is pushing it back in that direction. Taking freedom of the press and taking an oil company and nationalizing it. Shutting down T.V. stations that criticize him.
