Russia cannot become socialist again because it never was socialist. It's official regime was "communism", but there was very little socialist about it in the way Europe is doing it now.
Public ownership was the principle aspect of the soviet economy, and the working class was in power. It was absolutely socialist, and they never claimed to reach communism. They were governed by a communist party, but were socialist. Nowhere in Europe is socialist right now, private property is the principle aspect of all European economies, with the partial exception of Belarus.
