I Wish the CPRF was based and epic

We all do, there's definitely a faction within it that's pretty good but the top is dogshit. They wouldn't win if Putin was killed though, political assassinations tend to boost support for the parties that receive them, only really worthwhile when it would hurt a party organisationally such as small parties where one person can be very critical. But that's not happening with any massive party.

What if they did take over would you move to Russia and live in the communist “paradise?”

The USSR wasn't a paradise (communism isn't magic) but it was better than anything in Russia before or since. It's not like turning to capitalism in the 90s made the country a utopia.
