The Paris Commune inspired other uprisings named or called Communes: in Moscow (December 1905); Budapest (March–July 1919); Canton (December 1927), most famously, Petrograd (1917), and Shanghai (1927 and 1967).
The Commune was regarded with admiration and awe by later Communist and leftist leaders.
Vladimir Lenin wrote: "We are only dwarves perched on the shoulders of those giants."
He celebrated by dancing in the snow in Moscow on the day that his Bolshevik government was more than two months old, surpassing the Commune.
The ministers and officials of the Bolshevik government were given the title Commissar, which was borrowed directly from the Commissaires of the Commune.
Lenin's Mausoleum in Moscow was (and still is) decorated with red banners from the Commune, brought to Moscow in 1924 by French communists.
Stalin wrote: "In 1917 we thought that we would form a commune, an association of workers, and that we would put an end to bureaucracy...That is a goal that we are still far from reaching."
The Bolsheviks renamed their dreadnought battleship Sevastopol to Parizhskaya Kommuna.
In the years of the Soviet Union, the spaceflight Voskhod 1 carried part of a Communard banner.

The National Assembly decreed a law on 24 July 1873, for the construction of the Basilica of Sacré-Cœur on Montmartre, near the location of the cannon park and where General Clément-Thomas and General Lecomte were killed, specifying that it was to be erected to "expiate the crimes of the Commune".
A plaque and a church, Notre-Dame-des-Otages (Our Lady of the Hostages) on rue Haxo mark the place where fifty hostages, including priests, gendarmes and four civilians, were shot by a firing squad.


A plaque also marks the wall in Père Lachaise Cemetery where 147 Communards were executed, commonly known as the Communards' Wall.
Memorial commemorations are held at the cemetery every year in May to remember the Commune.
Another plaque behind the Hôtel de Ville marks the site of a mass grave of Communards shot by the army.
Their remains were later reburied in city cemeteries.
