Your reasoning for Russia being a communist country was because of it's state-lead economic policy. You can have a state capitalist system no matter what type of government you are, except for a communist state. Communism is an entire socio-economic policy, the economic side is called a planned economy, which includes state socialism. Cuba has a planned economy, Russia does not, Russia has a mixed economy. State capitalism is an economic policy which fits just right into a mixed economy system.
There is no private market in a communist, planned economy, so how would Russia be a communist country if it already betrays one section of a communist system? Second of all, socially Russia is anything from a communist society. Russia is more similar to the United States than you think, both are countries are consumerist and capital driven states, money makes the world go round in both Moscow and Washington.
Cuba for the longest time had absolutely no private market and even today most of that private market is held by personal property. And just lately Cuba annouced you can buy your own house in the country! Can you imagine that type of freedom? And North Korea has went above and beyond with it's system and is offical a Juche countrym it has it's roots as a communist country but no one really knows what it is anymore.
Brazil and Singapore by definition cannot be an autocracy, both countries are recognised to be republics, that kind of contradicts what an autocracy is. Your opinion or belief can be whatever you want, it's a free country. But I don't think you're going to be convincing anyone if your opinion is contradictory.
