The USSR was definitely communist. They called themselves communist, were inspired by communists and implemented communist policies.
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea is definitely a democratic republic.

It was an authoritarian state-capitalist regime which called itself socialist (not even communist), much like North Korea calls itself a democratic republic.
