Anti-communism comes with a lot of social conservative baggage. It's necessary really, in order to help justify the social stratifications, ie. social classes, required for capitalism.
It's not just Russia that has experienced this hard turn into reaction, all formerly socialist nations have experienced this to some extent. Indeed they probably needed to from the perspective of the capitalist class, otherwise people would start asking why the capitalists get to have everything while the workers starve.
