From the Paper:

"Many people believe that the fall of the USSR signalled the end of Marxism. However, this is not necessarily true. The USSR was simply the most well known example of a state that attempted to model itself on Marxist principles. Marxism is in fact an intellectual theory and a political ideology, based on the writings and thought of Karl Marx. Therefore, it did not die with the USSR."
