As for the accusation of "controlled opposition", the KPRF have already responded to this:
As for the contradictions of the Russian society which could be pictured in the massive flagpoles that you shared, this was also mentioned in this post by the KPRF: "Mimicry of the system: Soviet words, oligarchic deeds". In the comments, I also added my brief observation of the two conflicting identities and their dynamics in the comments.
As for the rest of the questions in the last paragraph which is basically the same one, the KPRF is using every platform at their disposal to agitate the masses. From the State Duma, Grassroot Organizations and actively creating strong cadres for unions; they are actively out there organizing. The results varied but the most visible one are:
Over four years, more than 63,000 people have become party members, with most of the new recruits being young people under 30 and “people of prime working age.”
“We are now seeing not just nostalgia for the past, but a conscious choice by millions of citizens in favor of the socialist path of development,”
We restored all ties with the Communist Parties of China, Vietnam, the DPRK, with India, with the Arab countries, with Latin America, with Cuba, with Venezuela, with Nicaragua.
The expansion and astronomical growth of grassroot movements like the Inmortal Regiment. This movement grew so large that plenty of countries around the world organized a similar march. It started small until it grew in a international movement.
On March 24 2026 in Beijing, a delegation of the KPRF held an official meeting with Liu Haixin from the CPC. Particular attention was paid to the role of Komsomol and Pioneer organizations.
In Leningrad, diplomas were awarded to graduates of the 11th cohort of the trade union school. This activity helps develop paths for
On November 7, 2025 in Mariupol, Komsomol members and young communists led the city's youth in a mass march. This was the largest event of young communists in the past 11 years
One of the first monuments to Vladimir Ilyich Lenin has returned to Orenburg after seven years of absence.
Karelia. Communists discussed China's experience of building socialism at a meeting with young people.
In summary, there is active work there. They go beyond what a Western socdem(or even leftists) do in Europe or the USA(perfect example of a socdem is Mamdani where he denounced Cuba and Venezuela).
I read the posts you linked and they literally propagate the replacement theory, e.g. this critique of the govt migration policy:
Migration is a messy subject because the issue comes from the understanding of the grassroot base of the Russian society and even Chinese society. Add to the mix the ethnic strife that sometimes appear in Russian society and it is a horrible mix that leads to this type of statements. However, in no way shape or form, should we project the Western filth into Russia. Russia is not the same as the white supremacist West which is the sole origin of our current issues including the siege against Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela and Cuba. If Russia were like that, it would be treated differently by the West.
As for the position of the party, Obukhov, which is the one that mentioned that statement that you quoted, shared the following in other publications:
This is the most recent roundtable regarding this topic -> https://kprf.ru/dep/gosduma/activities/243324.html
Those "principles" are more fascist than what the current wave of far right Western parties are proposing. I used to think CPRF is controlled opposition, now I think they are "national socialist", thank you for educating me.
