now bring back the soviet government and economy
do it right now
come on you'd own the libs so hard
I suspect this guy is another post-East Bloc boomer who's nostalgic for the USSR more out of nationalist pride than genuine socialism, but the fact he said Leningrad instead of Stalingrad gives me mild hope. Weirdo Russian NatBols trend to be pure Stalin Stans while repeating that "Lenin was a German spy" BS.
Everything I don’t like is Nazbol
Could they simply be boring revisionist Soviets akin to Khrushchev (still a huge upgrade from any Liberal party)? No, they are secret Nazis!
Let's be fair here, dudes with Stalin and Nicholas II tattoos side-by-side are fair to seriously suspect of having an ideology that would boil down to NazBolism, since they are worshiping a guy falsely accused of doing anti-semitic pogroms and also a guy who actually did them.
Didn't call him a NazBol.
I swear it's not Limonov bro you have to hit this it's a different strain
This guy ran for president back in 2004. Twenty fucking years ago. Jesus Christ can the KPRF please stop recycling the same two old dudes and put some young, exciting and revolutionary candidates out there???
Being young hot and Stalin >>>>>>>>>> renaming it Stalingrad tbqhbbq
They unironically need a young hot Stalin
Afonin and Parfenov seem pretty decent, according to the Russkies, but this one is a suicide mission. Everyone knows it, The most they can hope to get out of this election is to push Putin towards a more nationalized economy away from liberalism.
There is a certain "waiting for Putin to die" happening.
ohmygod
lol
all the young russian communists are far too based and lgbt accepting, gotta keep the crusty guys going
As much as it disgusts me, I blame NATOids attempting to use my lust for cock as a weapon. Nobody can actually stop anime online LGBT brainwashing, they can only delay this.

Oh joy, the revisionists are co-opting communist iconography for nationalist nostalgia
Yo this is the party of Lenin we’re talking about here. It’s also the most powerful communist party in today’s Europe, holding a double digit percentage of seats in the duma of Europe’s most populous country. I wish them well in the upcoming elections.
It's also the party of Khrushchev and Gorbachev, Zyuganov is not exactly Stalin.
the new KPRF has a very pro stalin outlook, but you are correct that they need to be more radical
That's my issue, as a party you can say you follow Stalin but if you're not backing it up that's a problem!
Hey, this is the dude who said the farm collectivizing was good and Russia should have more collectivized farms, isn't he? Stalin that does not make him, but it's more substantially socialist than just worshiping mighty mustache man without appreciating the socialist parts at all.
I’ll take the party of Khrushchev over literally any social democratic or liberal party ever
If nothing else, Putin getting removed from power by a Communist, revisionist or otherwise, would be hella funny
West screaming "NOT LIKE THAT!"
I have plenty of critiques of the KPRF but I'm not really interested in baseless sectarianism. Feel free to elaborate.
People here will dismiss all post-soviet communist parties as "nostalgic boomers" but then tell us to join CPUSA lmao. Why is it OK for us to have imperfect revisionist parties we need to whip into shape, but not for other nations to? Why is the pro-DNC revisionism more acceptable than the pro-Putin revisionism when the DNC is actually a more fascist, genocidal, neoliberal and imperialist body than Putin's administration?
Russian politics were literally cursed by a witch. If you talk about them you will wither away to a tiny locust by the age of 80 and die from being vored by a crow.
Just seems like the "russia bad" veneer is very effective among westerners still, and everything Russian is automatically downgraded one level of "basedness" in their minds. An extremely disciplined, successful and principled communist party would be seen as mid. A mid revisionist party would be seen as evil. Whereas in the USA, the mid revisionist parties all get the benefit of the doubt and are not considered evil nazbols automatically.
CPUSA is controlled by feds and should not be joined, but let's not pretend aesthetic communism doesn't hold its capital in Russia (if someone says China istg), though simultaneously it is also more populated by real communists than many other states and this guy specifically seems pretty decent.
We've got like one prominent poster who is CPUSA and the rules unfortunately dictate being nice to them (I forget their preferred pronouns) for some reason, but don't mistake that for anyone else liking CPUSA. Most people here seem to dislike PCUSA and it's still distinctly more credible than its forebear.
Its clearly nationalist pandering for the future election, but i have a soft spot for the return of soviet iconography so im willing to be positive
although there has been a large trend in the past few years at co-opting Stalin and other such socialist peoples for the purpose of nationalism in Russia. but due to its communist nature it could swing either way.
russian politics is extremely cursed
I am once again asking for direct critique of the KPRF in my mentions. 
Baseless in what way? They're the self described continuation of Gorbachev's CPSU, which most MLs rightly criticize for a ton of reasons. They have an ossified aging leadership that refuses to bend to the more radical youth of the party and instead pushes milquetoast parliamentary "communism" to stagnant electoral results. The same social democratic dead end we've seen a hundred times already.
This is what the 2034 KPRF presidential candidate will look like. These things take time
^___^
I'll be waiting, Mecha Lenin 
In that you're weren't making any of those criticisms & just writing them off as nationalists in the other reply, implying you'd prefer they eat shit anyways? I haven't seen any of those criticisms thrown out at the PSL or DSA on here, or the More Perfect Union people (who are legitimately nationalists if the slogan didn't give it away), neither of which accomplishes any electoral victories at all. Like the CPUSA they are a source of both optimism and deep consternation from me. I would like if they were more based like the Economic Freedom Fighters but South African politics is a nightmare and I'm not optimistic about Malema or Zyuganov becoming ML god emperor soon.
This kind of thing is what KRPF needs to quadruple down on if it's going to become a more successful party. We'll see.
I support every communist party simultaneously, and you can all deal with it. I am pleased with this as I am the Maoists in India executing Hindutva bastards.
Bring back Stalingrad too!
I was surprised to learn the other day that Stalingrad was renamed under 
. What a loser goddamn.
His whole fucking career as head honcho was just sabotaging the legacy of Stalin and doing revisionism. The good military moves were secondary.
This will most likely be as (un)successful as the KPRF's attempt to readopt the Soviet flag as the national flag. Don't get your hopes up, they are not going to restore the Soviet Union by slowly "voting in" communist symbolism.
they get like 20% popular vote 10% seats and yeah the presidential race is not happening but this shit is hype.

From the very little I’ve heard about this guy, I’m already liking him a lot more then Gennady Andreevich.
