	Communist party, in Russia and the Soviet Union. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-07
		The party (from 1925 the All-Union Communist party), was strongly urban.
		The Communist Party of Russia, the largest and most well-financed of the new parties, won the largest bloc of seats in the 1995 parliamentary elections, and in the first round of the 1996 Russian presidential election, Communist candidate Gennady Zyuganov received almost as many votes as Yeltsin.
		In what was seen as a pragmatic alliance, the parties supporting with President Putin joined in coalition with the Communists in the Duma, but in Apr., 2002, that alliance collapsed, and most Communist party members were stripped of their leadership positions in the Duma.

	Russian Revolution and the Communist Party
		Russia but little resembled a country in which, according to Marx, "the concentration of the means of production and the socialisation of the tools of labor reached the point where they can no longer be contained within their capitalistic shell.
		Russia was a country with a badly organised system of transportation, with a weak bourgeoisie and weak proletariat, but with a numerically strong and socially important peasant population.
		Furthermore, the Communist Party exploited all the popular demands of the hour: termination of the war, all power to the revolutionary proletariat, the land for the peasants, etc. This, as we shall see later, base demagoguery proved of tremendous psychologic effect in hastening and intensifying the revolutionary process.

	Who's Who in Russia's Parliamentary Elections
		United Russia is a major league bureaucratic party that was designed for Russia's officialdom in the image and likeness of the former Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
		The number of parties participating in the December parliamentary elections is not indicative of democratic growth, rather it is a mere show demonstrating a weak and divided opposition and the increasing popularity of radical, ultra-nationalist fringe groups.
		Russia's electoral system is entrenched in corruption—controlled and manipulated by government-friendly oligarchs, former Communist leaders, and Putin's loyal inner circle—all in the name of profit and power.

	Minutes of Second Congress of the Communist International
		Others said that the Communist Parties of the various countries could not keep up a regular correspondence with their delegates to the Executive Committee, and that as a result these delegates will not be well informed about the position of their country and the state of the revolutionary movement.
		The Communist International considers the dictatorship of the proletariat an essential means for the liberation of humanity from the horrors of capitalism; and regards the Soviet form of government as the historically necessary form of this dictatorship.
		The Communist International is aware that for the purpose of the speedy achievement of victory, the international association of the workers which is struggling for the abolition of capitalism and the establishment of Communism, must possess a firm and centralised organisation.

	The Communist Left in Russia after 1920 - Ian Hebbes \| libcom.org
		The CWP of Russia, under the influence of the KAPD, was to accept that the revolution of October 1917 was a bourgeois or double revolution, whereas the Workers Group maintained that the revolution was a proletarian revolution and the opening of a world-wide proletarian struggle.
		With the growth of strikes in 1923 and the fears of the growing influence of left communists inside and outside the party the merest suspicion of collaboration or association with the Workers’ Truth was sufficient for the GPU to have him imprisoned.
		The other left communist groups were hostile to the politics of this group which put into question the making of a proletarian revolution in 1917 and the role of the party in a manner which both echoed the Menshevik arguments of the past and pre-figured the arguments of the Council Communist groups.

	JRL - Russia, Politics, Communists
		Although the sole purpose of the Communist Party’s gathering at the weekend was to reform in order to register as a political party, the Communist’s leader used the occasion to criticise the president and the government.
		Communist Party chairman of many years Gennady Zyuganov delivered a lengthy speech in which he warned of impending economic disaster in Russia and harshly criticised President Putin and his government.
		Therefore, the party should be friendlier towards the contemporary rulers and in the meantime, it should foster a new presidential candidate, “a young, energetic, good person”.

	Russian Election
		The Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF) was registered on 24 March 1993 and considers itself the successor to the Communist Party of the RSFSR.
		The party declares that it has a "left-social" orientation and continues to policies of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Communist Party of the RSFSR.
		The party believes that it has the support of nearly 40 percent of the electorate, although opinion polls place the party's support at about 27 percent.

	Weimar Russia?
		The communists’ success at the polls, bringing their representation in the Second Duma to 35% from a mere 10% (or 22%, if one counts the now defunct Agrarian Party) should practically complete the picture (recall Hitler’s similar success at the polls in 1930).
		The finishing touches come from the ideological reorientation of the Russian Communists, who have swapped the ostensibly internationalist and proletarian Marxist-Leninist script for a sentimental National Bolshevism which wraps its vision of the paternalistic authoritarian state in the mystical aura of the Russian Orthodox nostalgia and the odious “blood and guts” nationalism.
		More important, the government’s party — being strongly represented in the Duma (12%), which was not the case in 1993 — is in a position to draw to itself the independent deputies.

	SR.com: Communist Party teetering in Russia
		Last December, in the days before the party's worst election defeat since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Zyuganov accused the Kremlin of embarking on a "war of extermination" against Russia's Communist Party.
		The Communists survived Boris Yeltsin's presidency by grudgingly accepting private property and capturing the vast protest electorate that was unhappy with the sweeping changes in Russia.
		Just a year ago, the Communists routinely commanded a die-hard 20 percent or more of the Russian electorate in polls, and the party had the largest faction in the parliament, giving it a blocking stake in Kremlin policy proposals.

	The Long Alliance of Patriarch Aleksy II and the Communist Party of Russia (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Inside Russia, the bill had the active support of Aleksy II, Russian Orthodox Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia and the communist party of Russia.
		Russia's record gives compelling reason for the guaranteed freedoms provided in the new Russian Constitution not to be rejected, and not to become subject to the political aspirations of Patriarch Aleksy.
		Indeed, his alliance with the communist party is not a peculiar one, but rather a scary one that has existed for many years, making it all the more important that we keep our eyes focused on religious freedom in Russia.

		Russia's Communist Party, banned then reborn in the chaos of the 1990s, faced a second death on Monday after voters spurned nostalgic appeals to the red flag and the Soviet past.
		But Zyuganov's protests were unlikely to salvage the party in its present form which has surrendered its position as biggest group in the Duma lower house, its share of the vote falling to about 12 percent from 24 per cent in 1999.
		The old Russian Communist Party was killed off with the stroke of a presidential pen in 1991 after a failed hardline communist coup against Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.

	Russia Research - Communist Party - Conclusion
		The divides inside the party were at that time so profound and broad (frictions occurred over War Communism, militarization, party democracy, etc.) that governance by the party and even the Central Committee was blocked by them.
		The two resolutions in a way also helped Lenin to start the retreat of the state in the economics: NEP[1], which was the answer of Lenin and Bolshevism to the economical dimension of the crises.
		But by no means the banning of the factions occurred at the Tenth Party Congress in March 1921 by accidence or under influence of a path dependency alone: at that time there was severe political opposition to Communist rule from three sides.

		The State apparatus is controlled by the Communist Party of Russia, the only political party that is allowed to exist in that country.
		Farcical so-called elections are held, but, as the workers of Russia are not allowed to form political parties of their own choice, only members of the Communist Party and those approved by them are permitted to stand at election and be elected.
		That as all political parties are but the expression of class interests, and as the interest of the working class is diametrically opposed to the interests of all sections of all sections of the the master class, the party seeking working class emancipation must be hostile to every other party.
