  Pravda.RU:Gennady Zyuganov: socialist revolution possible in Russia
The KPRF leader said this on Saturday at the 10th congress of the communist party, now underway at the Izmailovo concert hall in Moscow.
The KPRF leader noted that, out of the 317 delegates, 248 are present and 24 are absent for valid excuses.
The KPRF congress at the Izmailovo concert hall is being held in pitch darkness because of a power failure.

Consequently, while the KPRF appears to be heading toward the ashbin of history, the statist, nationalist mindset endures--most menacingly, in the form of Vladimir Putin's lurch toward authoritarianism and the success of the new Motherland (Rodina) party--thus posing an enduring obstacle in Russia's transition toward liberal, democratic capitalism.
The forerunner of the KPRF, the Russian Communist Party (RCP), was founded in 1990 by the members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) opposed to General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms.[1] After the failed August 1991 coup by Communist hardliners, the president of Russia, Boris Yeltsin, banned the CPSU and the RCP.
The KPRF deemed the Soviet Union a model state and its breakup, a tragedy and a "crime." The same assessment applied to the "destruction" of the Soviet military-industrial complex, whose funding was cut by Yeltsin by 90 percent.[7] The "voluntary" recreation of the Soviet empire was a key objective.

 KPRF - MN-FILES - MOSNEWS.COM   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
KPRF is an acronym for Kommunisticheskaya partiya Rossiyskoy Federatsii (The Communist Party of the Russian Federation).
KPRF considers itself an heir of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU, KPSS), the only party in the country during that era.
The party positions itself as a socialist and patriotic opposition to the “anti-national regime.” In its manifesto the KPRF named building socialism as its primary goal, i.e., promoting the idea of a society of social justice based on principles of collectivism, liberty, equality, power of the people, and the strengthening of a federative multinational state.

Additionally, the leadership of the KPRF claims that such pseudo-patriotic movements are being artificially created with the intent to only detract voters from the Party.
The KPRF and the United Russia should be most concerned with Glazyev's desire to transform Russia’s electoral politics.
The KPRF should listen to Glazyev's overtures, if it doesn’t the most significant Russian political organization will most likely be rendered nothing more than a biological problem for its foes: it will eventually die and with it quite possibly Russia's experiment with democracy.

 Analysis: Russia's Communists split - (United Press International)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
As the Kremlin election machine approached the 2003 parliamentary election, Zyuganov seriously damaged the KPRF by forcing some its most politicians to leave the party, especially popular Communists who publicly disagreed with his rigid leadership and lack of reformist zeal.
The KPRF has never accepted how Russia's economy was privatized during the 1990s in a process that created a small group of super-wealthy called the "oligarchs." Most Russian voters appear to agree, but it was the Kremlin that was doing something about it.
Zyuganov forced Semigin out of the KPRF earlier this year on the charge of "splitting the party." The same charge was leveled against Zyuganov on Thursday.

Glazev became the KPRF's No. 3 candidate and drafted the economic sections of the party's election platform, which was more market-oriented than the 1995 version had been.
Glazev appeared frequently on television on behalf of the KPRF in 1999.
Glazev has not targeted the KPRF during the campaign, although some analysts believe that the siloviki in President Putin's camp are backing Motherland in order to divide the left-leaning electorate.

In contrast, in 1999 all parties agree that a priority of economic reform must be reduction of the tax burden, streamlining of the tax collection system, and a shift of the tax burden away from the producer to the consumer.
Although the KPRF and LDPR continue to support high customs tariffs as a means to increase domestic economic growth, they, too, seek to reduce distortions in the tax system by reducing exemptions for the government's favored importers.
In 1995 a major aim of the KPRF was to alter the outcome of privatization, including the long-run goal of renationalization of major industries.

 Pravda.RU:KPRF plenary session to decide on Zyuganov's role as leader   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
This Saturday's plenary session of the Central Committee of KPRF (the Communist Party of the Russian Federation), the last before the forthcoming KPRF congress, is to decide whether Gennady Zyuganov can retain his leadership in the party for the next period, political analysts say.
It was KPRF poor performance in the recent State Duma elections (Communists lost half of their seats in the lower house of the Russian parliament) that has triggered off the current infighting in the ranks of KPRF and its allies.
The fact that Nikolai Kharitonov, the KPRF presidential nominee, gained more votes that any other presidential candidate, excepting Vladimir Putin, somewhat exonerated the KPRF leadership, fuelling, however, further speculation about Zyuganov's role in the party, political analysts observe.

De KPRF, met haar monopolie op oppositie, is echter het grootste obstakel voor de ontwikkeling van een linkse beweging in Rusland.

This may mean that there will be not one but two KPRF congresses, each of them claiming to be legitimate.

The official position of the KPRF leadership was voiced by Secretary of the Central Committee Oleg Kulikov.
The KPRF, Kostenko declared, was a profoundly flawed organization, but if the authorities were now to move against it, the position of the entire left, including its most right-wing elements, would become far worse.

The KPRF is not only the largest organization in Uryupinsk, it is also the only active one.
In the 2000 presidential elections, Putin lost in Uryupinsk to KPRF leader Gennady Zyuganov by 41.5 percent to 47.4 percent, while even in the surrounding Uryupinsk district (rayon) Putin won 45.8 percent to 44.8 percent.1 The city also voted for Communist incumbent governor Nikolai Maksyuta in the Volgograd gubernatorial elections on 24 December 2000.
However, now that the KPRF is no more the party of power, its major activity on the local level focuses on what were previously secondary goals.

 Socialism Today - Capital's one-man state
In the first session of this new parliament, KPRF deputies were bluntly told to shut up ‘in accordance with the number of seats’ they hold.
But the KPRF organised its own count and discovered that, while the vote for United Russia was inflated by three million, bringing down the percentages for SPS and Yabloko (according to the KPRF, Yabloko breached the 5% barrier), the numerical vote for the KPRF was fairly accurate.
Unlike the last election when a significant layer of workers backed the KPRF as the main opposition to the Kremlin, there is much anecdotal evidence to indicate that quite a large number of members and traditional KPRF voters either did not vote or were among the 5% or so voting against all candidates.

Experts suggest that the KPRF's predicament is largely due to its failure to reject its Soviet past and wholeheartedly embrace modern, European-style social democratic ideas.
The KPRF's politics are an odd mélange of orthodox Marxist rhetoric, nationalism - with the occasional flicker of anti-Semitism - and new-style social democracy.
Left-wing critics say some of the struggling party's troubles are self-inflicted and that KPRF leader Gennady Zyuganov, a lackluster politician who has lost two presidential elections, refuses to adopt fresh approaches or admit potential rivals into his inner circle.

These gains, coupled with the strong showing of the KPRF candidate, Gennady Zyuganov, in the presidential elections of 16 June 1996, have rekindled an interest in a party that had, until recently, been relatively ignored.
However, this time the issues that divide the leadership and the local organizations are over basic principles of the party's identity, and it is unlikely that these differ-ences will soon be resolved.
Whatever the case, the results of the 1995 elec-tion will have important and far-reaching consequences for the future development of the KPRF and its role in the democratization of Russian politics.

Not only did he publicly discuss his plans on the pages of Nezavisimaya Gazeta and in an interview with Zavtra editor Alexander Prokhanov -- he is also known to have met with Zyuganov's chief financier, Viktor Vidmanov, who rushed to London to hammer out the details of a deal with the exiled magnate.
And it seems unlikely that the different groups within the KPRF will be capable of organizing a civilized discussion on the topic of which oligarchs the party should be taking money from.
