    would be extremely based

    KPRF is the second biggest party in the Duma, but only has 57 seats while United Russia has 315. I’m guessing this doesn’t pass.

      I’m guessing it won’t, but it’s good to see the discussion happening. KPRF has also been seeing a lot of gains of late, and these kinds of moves will only help them going forward.

      The CPRF is the largest opposition to United Russia, and has seen tens of thousands of new members year over year for the last few years. United Russia largely has the power it does because the nationalists kicked out the imperialists that plundered Russia during the dissolution of the soviet union, but public opinion is swaying more towards a reversion to socialism. This is a good sign, and if United Russia opposes this then that furthers support for the CPRF.

        You do know, they will get eliminated if they pose any real threat to the current system? Also United Russia only kicked out whoever was not in their “circle”, they are the very people who plundered Russia in the 90s as well, you can track back most of notable people in the current administration to that.

          United Russia is the nationalist bourgeoisie, not the imperialist western bourgeoisie that were looting the country. The nationalists stopped the foreign looting and solidified their power base. The CPRF’s support, as well as broader support for socialism in general, is something that UR can’t “eliminate,” it’s far too big of a movement for that. They can try, but it’s an accelerating movement as capitalism isn’t what it was sold as.
