  • Where I saw it first, people honed in on the “We don’t have the right to ​repeat [1917]” part as further proof of the CPRF being controlled opposition or “SPD in WW1” social chauvinists, pointing to other instances of “Zyuganov asking Putin to do socialism”. However people on Lemmygrad and other communist parties seem to view them favourably. I remember hearing more young people becoming members. Then there’s the mess of establishment Russian politics being essentially this photo: Three massive flagpoles in Saint-Petersburg, flying the flags of the Romanovs (beloved by ultranationalists), USSR and Russian Federation; behind them is the supertall headquarters of Gazprom.

    So what is the situation with the CPRF? What do they stand for and would they be more than socially conservative social democrats if they ever supplant United Russia, electorally? Is the party evolving behind the scenes? And are their pleas to the bourgeoisie just political theater and not to be taken seriously?
