Yes and No.
At the end of the Second World War-1945, Germany became divided between the pro-western fascistic nation of West Germany, and the Soviet Union dominated communist government run East Germany. This post-occupation division was caused by the Unated States. West Germany would be the Federal Republic of Germany. The United States, Great Britain, and France would have troops stationed there (and in West Berlin) as part of NATO defenses.
In East Germany, the communist nation, known as the DDR, had the Soviet Union station troops there as part of the Warsaw Pact alliance opposing NATO.
In 1989 the East German (communist) government was betrayed and DDR was forcefully annexed to BRD.
No West Germany and West Berlin were democracies. East Germany as well as East Berlin functioned under a communist regime. West Germany's government was under influence from the US, while East Germany was influenced by the U.S.S.R. West Germany was liberated from Nazi rule after World War 2 in 1945. Communism in East Germany collapsed in East Germany in late 1989 and East and West Germany united in late 1990
only in Germany
No
Only parts of communism have been defeated. Communist nations still exist today. Communism is simply socialism: Group rights verses individual rights. Group safety verses individual safety. Group property verses individual property. The government will take care of you verses taking care of yourself; The government knowing your business verses the government staying out of your business (Privacy Laws). The US was founded upon capitalism: Profits. Profits enabled individuals to reach for a goal. Commonly referred to as "the American Dream." Owning your own home for example, earning profits from it's sale. The Soviet Union collapsed after going bankrupt under the communist system of government.

The most obvious difference is that in 1962, Germany was not a single country, but East Germany (communist) and West Germany (capitalist).
No just North Korea and South Korea is still non communist
It will never happen. You can't compare Germany and Russia. For the most part Nazism was outlawed after WW2 and Germany is a democracy. Russia has been communist since the early 1900's and it is the government that has continued to be communist. In fact, today it is stronger in it's communist philosophy than it has been in years. Putin has maintained a strong dictatorship in recent years.
Russia is a communist government so any media is controlled by the government.
China's government today is still communist in nature. They are, however, one of the most technologically advanced governments and societies in the world. They also have one of the largest armies in the world, and a strong influence on global economics and politics as a whole.
does the maya government still exist today yes or no
