 Zyuganov Vies to Lead Russia
Zyuganov has said the party had the "world's best ideas of humanism, fraternity and justice." And yet his career encompassed the "years of stagnation" under Leonid Brezhnev, when the Soviet system was becoming increasingly sclerotic, the leadership isolated and aging.
Zyuganov rose to be second secretary, or second in command, of the Orel city party, then went to study at an exclusive party school in Moscow and returned to Orel between 1980 and 1983 to be regional party chief for ideology and propaganda.
When Zyuganov went to Moscow in 1983 to be an instructor in the Central Committee ideology department, Brezhnev had died and Zyuganov was heartened by the ascension of Yuri Andropov, a former KGB chief.

 Who Are You, Comrade Zyuganov?
Zyuganov claims to be the leader of a broad "national-patriotic" coalition and is supported by non- communist nationalist figures, such as influential Duma deputies Sergei Baburin and Alexei Pod- berezkin.
Zyuganov served two years in a special nuclear and chemical reconnaissance unit of the So- viet troops stationed in East Germany and was sent to perform decontamination work in the South Urals after a major nuclear catastrophe in the late 1950s (a disaster hushed up by the Soviet authori- ties for decades).
Zyuganov has no firsthand knowledge of the West and speaks no foreign languages, but his back- ground, upbringing, and adult experiences have prejudiced him against what he calls "Western capi- talism." He is susceptible to anti-Western conspiracy theories that circulate regularly among Russian communists and nationalists.

According to Zyuganov, as in October 1917, Russia stands at a crossroads, facing an unpopular war, the absence of fair land reform, ethnic conflicts, and inadequate state regulation of the economy.
Zyuganov added that he supports various forms of property ownership, including private, although he said he gives priority to the "public property forms" that take into consideration Russia's "national character." He said the state should own a controlling share in various sectors of the economy, including energy, transport, military industry, education, and science.

 Who's Who in the Russian Presidential Elections
GENNADY ZYUGANOV: THE COMMUNIST CHALLENGER Yeltsin's main challenger is Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov.8 The 52-year-old Zyuganov is a quintessential Communist Party apparatchik who rose steadily through the ranks of the Soviet power structure, only to have it destroyed by Gorbachev's glasnost and perestroika.
Zyuganov deeply distrusts the West and is preoccupied with restoring Russia's "old glory." He ar- ticulates the frustration of those who see Russia as a wounded superpower betrayed by its leadership and relegated by scheming adversaries to the sidelines of history.
As Zyuganov tells it, Gorbachev and Yeltsin are traitors, and the U.S. is the embodiment of all that is evil in the world; corrupt and materialistic, the U.S. and the West are doomed.

Zyuganov accuses the Yeltsin regime of betraying the country by bowing to the dictates of the U.S. State Department and the G-7 group of leading industrialized countries and generally playing "junior partner" to the West.
Gennady Zyuganov has been remarkably successful in projecting an image of a "new" Communist, a flexible and pragmatic politician who is more interested in forming alliances with other parties in the Duma than in subverting them.
