KPRF needs younger leadership imo. Particularly younger people who weren't yet politically conscious in the 90s and who haven't been so traumatized by the political defeats suffered by communists during that time. I believe there is a kind of collective political PTSD among communists who were active in that difficult period that makes them very timid and prone to compromise and capitulation.
(Don't quote me on that though, it's just some armchair psychology on my part and may be total bullshit. In fact i know there are older communists in Russia who are quite radical, if somewhat behind the times in many ways...)
I agree with your views, I had the same experiences with older communists. Also hoping that the younger gen can turn things around
