The ideologies and power structures of the axis powers ceased to exist as a result of the outcome of WW2. This was not the case when the Russian Federation took on the mantle of the inheritor of the legacy of the USSR. Therefore it does not make sense to equate the history of authoritarianism in these places.

Ideologies don't simply cease to exist the day the war is over.

Of course not, but they lose their power in the imagination of the people when the people realise they had been lied to.
