Is russia still a marxist country. Russia tells that it is a democracy, but a friend of mine told me that russia is still marxist. Or at least a little bit marxist. Is this true?

Not since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Realistically, it hasn't been Marxist in anything but aesthetic since Stalin's death.
No, the means of production are no longer in the hands of the state, which would make them of public use.
Marxist as in? The communist party has a somewhat large presence, not in leadership. It's also the second largest party. There's also lots of nostalgia for USSR there. Marxist also doesn't equal undemocratic.
Stupid and undialectical
Russia is not a marxist state, not by any metric.
No, it isn't. It is regular capitalist country. It hasn't democratic ownership of the means of production, private property wasn't abolished.
There many people in government and oligarchs who were members of soviet nomenklatura (or are their children)
Communist party of Russian federation is not Marxist Leninist, they mix socdem rhetoric with nationalism and support orthodox church.
There are large anticommunist and antisoviet initiatoves from government. They "decommunizate" names of cities, tear down monuments, try to erase soviet symbolics (they even hide Lenin mausoleum on the Victory day). Putin unironically praises white guards, Solzhenitsyn and even Yeltsin.
Nothing really communist about the country
Holy shit that's bad. The cardboard around it doesn't make it better.
Yeah, they want to erase the fact that communists won in that war. They replaced original symbol of the Victory day with some fucking pigeons and St. George's ribbon.
They don't allow people with Stalin portrait's to take part in "Besmertny polk" ("immortal regiment", action commemorating heroes of Great patriotic war) but allowed to Poklonskaya to carry portrait of Nicholas II
Russia isn't communist anymore. That's western liberal propaganda. There really are many people in government who were in CPSU in the times of USSR, but most of them are capitalism apologists now and voted for the infamous pension reform.
