 Encyclopedia: South African Communist Party
With the failure of the rising, in part due to fl workers failing to strike, the Communist Party was forced by the Communist International (Comintern) to adopt the Native Republic thesis which stipulated that South Africa was a country belonging to the Natives, that is, the Blacks.
Communist Joe Slovo was Chief of Staff of Umkhonto, his wife and fellow SACP cadre Ruth First was perhaps the leading theoritician of the revolutionary struggle the ANC were engaged in.
While a number of Communist, notably Joe Slovo, occupied prominent positions on the ANC benches in parliament and in government, the ANC's programme did not threaten the existence of capitalism in South Africa and was heavily reliant on international investment.

KYIV - Communist Party leader Petro Symonenko was quoted in the December 13 issue of Kievskie Viedomosti as saying it is "absolutely unrealistic" to name a single candidate from the opposition in the 2004 presidential election, Interfax reported.
KYIV - Ukraine's Constitutional Court ruled on December 11 that a clutch of constitutional amendments providing for the election of a president in 2004 by the Verkhovna Rada and a one-year extension of the term of the current parliament until 2007 is in line with the Constitution of Ukraine, Interfax reported.
The court said the president of Ukraine enjoys immunity from prosecution, meaning that no criminal proceedings may be instigated against the president during his or her term in office.

 Krasnopyarov: Parliamentary Elections in Ukraine
Communists must use bourgeois parliament as a means, as a tribune on propaganda and popularization of socialist ideals, and the aims of this or that communist party.
The programme of this party is in most items identical with the programme of CPRF (Communist Party of Russian Federation) in December 1995 elections to the Duma.
Because this party is parliamentarized, is sick with the so-called "parliamentary cretinism".

Eight years later, the Communists command the largest faction in parliament and are the second most popular party in opinion polls, trailing only a bloc of centrist and right-wing parties.
And the party has strong financial backing today from its 140,000 members, who are expected to contribute at least 1 percent of their income to the party's coffers.
Opinion polls are now giving the Communist Party from 13 percent to 20 percent of the vote, about the same percentages enjoyed by the party on the eve of the last parliamentary elections in 1998.

 Pravda.RU Leonid Kuchma expelled from Ukraine’s Communist Party
Ukraine’s Communist Party, which had been banned after the failure of the Emergency Committee (known for the Russian abbreviation of GKChP), held a session on Saturday.
Indeed, the majority of the Ukrainian political establishment, which is blamed of today’s poor state in Ukraine, belonged to the Communist Party or the Communist Youth Union in the past.
Ukraine considers Pyotr Simonenko to be its real communist and is closely watching the way he struggles for the rights of workers nowadays, and conclusions are drawn at that.

The IMF was not impressed with the failure of the Ukraine to stick to the conditions which had been part of previous loan schemes.
The strong growth of the Communist Party of Ukraine (CPU) and its substantial vote in the recent presidential elections despite widespread skullduggery and falsification, has sent cold shivers down the collective spine of the parasites in government.
Their acceptance is rightly regarded as treachery and letting down not only the Party parliamentary group but the rank and file members who worked tirelessly to have them elected in the first place.

 Build Ukraine
The Ukrainian Republican Party (URP) has asked the Justice Ministry to ban the Communist Party of Ukraine (KPU), Interfax reported on 12 August.
URP leader Levko Lukyanenko told journalists that the KPU should be banned under Ukraine's law on political parties, which prohibits political activities oriented toward the liquidation of Ukraine's independence, propaganda of violence, and encroachment on human rights and freedoms.
According to Lukyanenko, the KPU program's provision calling for the restoration of a "union of fraternal peoples" is tantamount to a postulate to liquidate Ukraine's independence, while the KPU's Marxist-Leninist ideology implies such political measures as a violent overturn of the government and encroachment on human rights and freedoms.

The Communist Party of Ukraine (CPU) has become the first left-wing party to face a serious threat to its unity and identity: Petro Simonenko, leader of the Ukrainian Communists, confirmed reports concerning the creation of a new Communist party in the country.
The Socialist Party of Ukraine (SPU) showed signs of fragmentation last December, and dissatisfaction with the defeat of the left candidates during the last presidential campaign has raised questions about the party's strategy, internal structure and political course.
The Party examined the matter last weekend, and as a result, eight high-ranking party officials have voluntarily resigned due to changes in the SPU's political orientation.

The leader of the Communist Party and presidential candidate, Petro Symonenko, has criticized the leader of the Socialist Party and presidential candidate, Oleksandr Moroz, for accepting the support for his candidature from the Communist Party of Ukraine (reformed).
In Symonenko's words, the fact of this support for Moroz from the side of the CPU (r) is now been actively massaged in campaign materials, which is misleading supporters of the Communist Party.
The Communist Party of Ukraine (reformed) endorsed the leader of the Socialist Party and presidential candidate Oleksandr Moroz in June for the elections.

 Fascistization of Political Life in Ukraine
June 8, 1995 president Kuchma of Ukraine with the former chairman of the Ukrainian Supreme Soviet, Alexander Moroz (leader of the Socialist Party of Ukraine) signed a new unconstitutional Constitution, which abolished the 1978 legal Constitution.
After this unbelievable vote, the "new" constitution was adopted, the 40 members of the Communist Party of Ukraine deputies, under their leader Simonenko voted to eliminate now the legal 1978 Ukrainian Constitution and to be replaced by this nationalistic constitution.
Unfortunately helping these nationalists is the leadership of the Socialist Party of Ukraine, stating that there was no Socialism in the USSR, heaping dirt and calumny on Stalin and his government.

Generally, the Communists and the so-called leftist "fellow travelers" are stronger in Eastern Ukraine, in part because the economic crisis there is much worse, and in part because of the large Russian/Russianized population there, while rightist and nationalist parties are stronger in Western Ukraine, which is much more Ukrainian.
This is the largest party in Ukraine and after the 1994 elections, it had 92 seats in the Verkhovna Rada.
This party is led by Volodymyr Shcherban, former governor of the Donetsk oblast.

Leonid Kravchuk and the "sovereign communists" within the Communist Party of Ukraine were also seen as "national communists" in 1990-94 both in Ukraine and abroad when Kravchuk was parliamentary speaker and then president.
But Ukraine's "sovereign communists" evolved into centrists, and it is those centrists who are today commemorating Shcherbytsky's anniversary, but not Shelest's, even though it would have been more logical for them to take Shelest, who was removed in 1971 after being accused of "national deviationism," as their role model rather than Shcherbytsky.
In April 1997, the Communist Party moved in the Duma an amendment to restore the Soviet flag and anthem.

Roughly 40 parties and blocs look set to compete for power - but first they are jostling for the names and political figureheads most likely to rake in votes.
All three have their origins in the original Rukh, which has splintered since its longstanding leader, Vyacheslav Chornovil, was killed in a car crash in March 1999.

The campaign of the pro-Kuchma party For United Ukraine, created just a few months ago, was seen as a rehearsal for him or a hand-picked successor in 2004 presidential elections.
His popularity stems from his success in invigorating Ukraine's moribund economy as prime minister, and injecting optimism into a populace defeated by years of inflation and wage delays.
