I searched for "community party" and the best I can tell, you meant "Communist Party." If you meant "community party", please ignore the following.

To what benefit? A Russian revolution will only lead to many more deaths and adversely affect the rest of the World (they may import a lot of stuff but they also export a lot).

It will not be a peaceful revolution - the nature of revolution is violent. People will die and the survivors will be scared. Farms and supply chains will be disrupted. People will go hungry. Scared hungry people with nukes are dangerous people.

The cure may be worse than the disease.

Edit: The same goes for China.

About every 400 years. China goes through a ruling party change. Most of the changes are cause by food shortages. It's been about 400 years since the last one. And they are having food shortages now. Pork is big in their diet. Last year they had to kill about 90% of their pigs due to the African swine flu. This year, they are killing their chickens and ducks over a bird flu. Now they have a locust swam on their boarder that came from Africa. Because of this virus and wet weather. They haven't started to plant their spring crops yet. Add the Hong Kong protests, this virus. Plus the people who lost family because of this virus. The CCP is under a lot of pressure. The CCP is close to a tipping point.

China has the largest army in the world, and evidence is that they are not afraid to use it against their own. Doubting that any small amount of discontent or uprising is going to lead to a change in regime there.
