Communist Party of the Russian Federation ideology. Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF)

Political party program
"Communist Party of the Russian Federation"

Russia is at a tragic crossroads. The current ruling regime is trying by deceit and violence to return the peoples of our Fatherland to barbaric, primitive capitalism. This is the path of political reaction and social regression, the path of national catastrophe, leading to the death of Russian civilization.

The Soviet Union has already been destroyed. The same fate threatens the Russian Federation. The country is in the grip of a severe systemic crisis. The volume of industrial and agricultural production has fallen to an unprecedented low level and continues to fall. The productive forces, science and culture are purposefully destroyed. The population is declining, and the processes of its impoverishment are intensifying. The fires of interethnic conflicts do not die out. Russia is turning into an object of the next redistribution of the world, into a colonial raw materials appendage of economically developed countries.

The stratification of property, the loss by the working people of most of their socio-economic rights and gains, lead to a rapid proletarianization of the population. Contradictions have arisen and are rapidly deepening between labor and capital, between a handful of new moneybags and the vast majority of the people. The angry protest and indignation of the oppressed merge with the pain of the patriots for the desecrated honor of the State. Resistance to the ruling regime is steadily growing in all sections of the population. People's patriotic forces, forces of social and national liberation are being organized and united.

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation, true to the interests of working people, sees its task in unite the social class and national liberation movements into a single mass resistance movement to give it a conscious and purposeful character. The Party is fighting for the unity, integrity and independence of the country, the welfare and security of its citizens, the physical and moral health of the people, and for the socialist path of Russia's development.

Our main goals:

· Democracy, meaning the constitutional power of the working majority, united through the Soviets and other forms of democratic self-government of the people;

· justice, which implies a guaranteed right to work and its remuneration according to the final results, to free education and free medical care available to all, comfortable housing, recreation and social security;

· patriotism, equality of nations, friendship of peoples, unity of patriotic and international principles;

the responsibility of a citizen to society and society to a citizen, the unity of rights and duties of a person;

· socialism in its updated forms, enshrined in the future constitution, corresponding to the modern level of productive forces, environmental safety, and the nature of the tasks facing humanity;

Communism as the historical future of mankind.

The activity of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is based on the principles of voluntariness, equality, self-government, legality and publicity. The party is free to determine its internal structure, goals, forms and methods of activity, with the exception of restrictions established by federal law.

Communists believe that the historical process takes place in evolutionary and revolutionary forms. They support the ones that really correspond to the interests of working people. While striving for socialist transformations, they stand for peaceful methods of carrying them out. The Party opposes bourgeois and petty-bourgeois extremism, which is fraught with the great danger of civil war.

In defining its program goals, the strategy and tactics of struggle for their achievement, it is guided by the developing Marxist-Leninist doctrine, materialist dialectics, and relies on the experience and achievements of domestic and world science and culture.

1. THE WORLD ON THE THRESHOLD OF THE THIRD MILLENNIUM

In assessing the current situation, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation proceeds from the conviction that the fundamental dispute between capitalism and socialism, under the sign of which the 20th century passed, has not been completed.

Capitalism, which dominates today in most of the world, is a type of society where material and spiritual production is subject to market laws of maximizing profits, the accumulation of capital, striving for unlimited growth. Everything becomes a commodity. Money is the only measure of all things. This determines the special, wasteful character of capitalism. He considers production, first of all, as the general exploitation of man and natural resources without taking into account social costs, detrimental consequences for the life of future generations and the environment. (...)

The bourgeois form of social existence has approached the limit of its possibilities. Its most ardent supporters admit that the capitalist mode of production has run into not only its internal, but also its natural, natural boundaries. The growth of production at the same pace and methods will lead to an irreversible ecological catastrophe, will make the Earth uninhabitable.

Entering the new millennium, humanity faced the most dramatic choice in its history of the path of further development. In our opinion, there are only two options due to opposing social class interests.

The first is to limit or even stop the growth of the level of the world economy while preserving the current structure of production, distribution and consumption. It is designed to perpetuate the division of mankind into the "golden billion" and the periphery it exploits, to establish the global dominance of the developed capitalist countries with the help of the "new world order".

The second path involves a steady increase in the level of well-being of the entire population of the Earth with the obligatory preservation of the global ecological balance based on a qualitative change in the productive forces, the mode of production and consumption, and the humanistic reorientation of scientific and technological progress.

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation believes that for Russia the most reasonable and in line with its interests is the choice of optimal socialist development, during which socialism as a doctrine, mass movement and social system finds its second wind. (...)

IN in the renewed community of working people, the communists find their main social base. First of all, they turn to him with their ideas, contributing to the awareness and realization of their interests by the working people on a national and international scale. In the hands of this avant-garde social force, the fate of not only Russia, but the entire human civilization in the coming 21st century.

2. LESSONS IN RUSSIAN HISTORY AND WAYS TO SAVE THE HOMELAND

Assessing the general patterns of human development on the threshold of the third millennium, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation proceeds from the fact that every people and every country will implement them, taking into account their own characteristics and their historical experience. This fully applies to our Fatherland.

Russia has made an inimitable contribution to the development of mankind thanks to the originality of social consciousness and the state system, the selfless labor and feats of arms of its peoples, the spiritual burning of its great writers, musicians and artists, scientists and engineers. The asceticism of several generations of Russian revolutionaries.

Russian history fully confirms the view on the role of revolutions as locomotives of history. (...)

The imposition of capitalism, together with the exploitation of man by man, gave rise to a deep class split in society. At one extreme is the class of "strategic owners" being formed by the ruling regime. Its basis is banking and speculative capital, economically closely connected with the West. The export-raw material capital has the same comprador character. At the same time, the national capital, oriented towards the revival of the domestic economy, is in a stunted, uncompetitive state. At the other extreme, there is a huge mass of working people, crushed by impoverishment, the threat of unemployment, and fear of uncertainty about the future. The proletarianization of the majority of compatriots is accompanied by the social stratification of the lower classes.

However, the forces of socialism have not been broken. Russia can and must get out of the crisis. Historical experience shows that success in this matter accompanied our Fatherland only in those cases when the working people, the entire people, were correctly aware of their fundamental national-state interests. We have to reach this goal in our own Russian way.

For this you need:

lead the growing popular resistance to the forced capitalization of the country;

· remove the mafia-comprador bourgeoisie from power, establishing the power of workers, patriotic forces;

· to strengthen the political independence and economic independence of the Union, restoring its traditional interests and positions in the world;

· to ensure civil peace in society, the resolution of disagreements and contradictions in a legal way, on the basis of dialogue;

· save the scientific potential, the defense complex and the Armed Forces. Bring them into line with the needs of reliable national security;

· declare a decisive fight against crime, guaranteeing the security and protection of the individual and society as a whole;

· take urgent measures to overcome the economic crisis through state regulation of economic life.

The Communist Party sets the task of intensifying the national liberation struggle of the Russian people. In such a struggle, she has real and potential allies. These are political parties of the socialist, centrist and consistently democratic spectrum, progressive patriotic movements. These are trade unions, workers, peasants, women, veterans, youth, business, educational, creative organizations, religious associations of all traditional confessions.

We respect their views and do not impose our own. But in dialogue and interaction with them, we do not consider it necessary to hide our conviction that the defense of Russia's national-state interests today organically merges with the struggle against colonial enslavement and counter-revolution, for socialism and Soviet forms of democracy. We are convinced that life will prove us right.

3. MINIMUM PROGRAM

1. Introduction.

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation is one of the most influential parties in the Russian Federation. But at the same time, it remains one of the parties not fully disclosed for me, and for many others. Very few articles and very few books have been written about the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. And all the books that are written and available to a simple blower are written by persons who have a direct or indirect relationship with the Communist Party. Well, what can a writer who is on the side of the Communist Party write? Naturally, no matter how much self-criticism he has, he cannot say anything that would radically change people's attitude towards the policy of the Communist Party in a negative direction. All the articles I read show only the positive aspects of the Communist Party. They say very little about the history of the development and formation of the political leaders of the party. With difficulty, I was able to find Zyuganov Gennady Andreevich in the global computer network Internet. But everything was said there abstractly and not clearly. I could not find articles that would sharply and clearly criticize the activities of the Communist Party. Also, in all the articles there is hidden propaganda, everywhere it is said how good we are or what a good party of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is, that if it comes to power, then everyone will immediately have a good and easy life. I would like to see an independent point of view. One can practically not talk about the relevance of analyzing everything in possible political parties. After all, ahead of our vast homeland of Russia, elections in which we will have to choose our representatives in the State Duma, and choose our president. who will guide us. And with such a motley variety of political parties. And without outside help simply can not do. Getting confused in the election race of political parties is easy. They stretch their webs of truth and lies, and all this is presented in the form of beautiful promises, a couple of which simply cannot be fulfilled even with the performance of some kind of miracle. The novelty of the topic is a new look, a new understanding, interpretation. And what could be newer than our future, and our fate directly depends on who we choose, who we follow and who we give our votes to. Novelty and relevance go hand in hand! The main tasks of my work are to consider and present the Communist Party of the Russian Federation exactly as it really is. Examine the activities of the party, its principles and tasks.

2. Date of foundation of the Communist Party.

Founded in June 1990. Registered by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation on March 24, 1993, registration number 1618.

On June 11, 1998, amendments and additions to the charter were registered, corresponding to the new requirements of the legislation (obtaining the status of a political public organization for participation in the 1999 elections).

3. Initiators

The initiators of the creation of the Communist Party of the RSFSR (as part of the CPSU) were anti-reformist members of the CPSU (delegates to the 28th Congress of the CPSU), representing a number of regional organizations of the CPSU and its central leadership, united in the Initiative Movement of the Communists of the RSFSR. On June 19-20, 1990, they gathered the Russian Party Conference, which decided to transform it into the Constituent Congress of the Communist Party of the RSFSR. Among the initiators were: Polozkov I.K., O.S. Shenin, Zyuganov G.A., Kuptsov V.A. and etc.

After the events of August 1991, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation of August 23, 1991, the activities of the Communist Party of the RSFSR were suspended, and then terminated (by decree of November 6, 1991), the central bodies were dissolved, the property was transferred to the state. During this period, the communists split into two camps: some began to create new communist parties, others - to defend the right to restore the Communist Party. The latter appealed to the Constitutional Court of the RSFSR (CC) with a request about the constitutionality of the presidential decree. In October 1992, the Constitutional Court confirmed the legitimacy of the actions of the party's primary organizations and their right to create new central governing bodies.

In November 1992, the Organizing Committee (of 68 people) was formed to prepare the 2nd (extraordinary) Congress of the Communist Party of the RSFSR. The decision to create the Organizing Committee was made at a meeting of the Political Consultative and Coordinating Council of the Communists of the RSFSR, consisting of representatives of the leftist and communist parties that emerged from the ruins of the CPSU: the Russian Communist Workers' Party, the Socialist Workers' Party, the Russian Party of Communists, the Union of Communists and a number of regional parties and organizations. V.A. became the Chairman of the Organizing Committee. Kuptsov. Among the most active members of the Organizing Committee were: V.I. Zorkaltsev, A.V. Kryuchkov, I.P. Osadchiy, S.N. Petrov, I.P. Rybkin, G.I. Sklyar and B. Slavin. The organizing committee was dominated by several main groups of communists: the old leaders of the Central Committee of the CPSU and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation; natives of the Socialist Party of Workers, part of the RKRP, which was later constituted as the Leninist platform in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. The RKRP and the VKPB accused the organizers of a social democratic deviation and refused to join the CPRF. The restoration congress of the Communist Party took place in February 1993.

4. The main slogan of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation The motto "For the Victory!"

6. Principles of the Communist Party

The strategy of our movement is based on the principles of justice, sovereignty, democracy, spirituality and patriotism.

Justice is an opportunity for everyone to realize their talents. Work for everyone. Perspectives for youth. Family well-being. Respect for the dignity of the individual and honest work. Happy childhood and secure old age. Everything that the criminal regime has leshed us.

Sovereignty is state power, combined with paternal rigor and care. Priority of national interests over clan ones. The special responsibility of the state to society and the people.

Democracy is the power of the majority of the people and for the people. The power of conscience and law is the basis of civil peace and harmony. The main condition for free creation and creativity.

Spirituality is the desire to realize the highest human ideals and folk shrines.

Patriotism is a high sacred feeling. Putting the common interests of the Fatherland above personal and private. Readiness for self-sacrifice.

7. Program of the Communist Party of the economic recovery of the country.

(some items)

1. First of all, it is necessary to rid the enterprises of accumulated debts. Penalties and fines should be completely canceled, since the main culprit for their formation is the state, which created the conditions under which enterprises were not able to work profitably and pay taxes (inflation, non-payments, high taxation, tariffs for electricity and rail transportation that were repeatedly inflated, etc.). ) Direct for the position of enterprises in the budgets of all levels to restructure at a later date to clarify the reasons for its formation. After a thorough audit, it must also be written off, with the exception of the identified factors of theft and pilfering, which must be answered by specific perpetrators. In cases where enterprises “are lying on the tank” most of the workers have been fired, and the shares have fallen into the hands of managers who have usurped power, such enterprises must be nationalized - to pay off debts to the state or for other reasons revealed during the verification process.

2. For the purchase of raw materials, materials and components, without which enterprises will not even be able to start working normally. It is necessary to provide concessional lending to enterprises, with the right to spend funds only for these purposes. Inflation and other reasons mentioned above, including pilfering legalized by the regime. The goals of enterprises are the turnover of funds and the state should help in this. The recovery of reverse funds, in our opinion, is of paramount importance, this is the link in the reverse chain of relationships between enterprises that will solve many issues. The monastic policy of the ruling regime, under which the obelis of goods in stores, the need of the population for them, the lack of money supply in the country and curbing inflation. It gave rise to a general insolvency of enterprises and destroyed the monetary and financial system. According to the calculations of specialists published in the press, at the present time. The money supply is only 10% - 15% of the value of the commodity mass. Without restoring the balance of the value of money and commodity mass, it is impossible to restore monetary and financial relations and the normal operation of enterprises. This is where concessional lending comes in. In order to prevent the collapse of the ruble and inflation, concessional lending should be started with enterprises capable of quickly restoring production.

3. Taking into account that energy costs and railway transportation account for a large share in the cost of manufacturing most types of products, it is necessary to significantly (many times) reduce tariffs for them and take them under strict control of the state. Rising prices for energy products and rail transport have significantly outpaced the rise in prices for other goods. As a result, the products of domestic manufacturers became unprofitable and uncompetitive, which was one of the main reasons for the shutdown of enterprises.

4. Particular attention should be paid to the directors' corps. Directors who could not stand the test of unlimited power and succumbed to the temptation of personal enrichment by robbing collectives and ruining enterprises. Should be removed. Only true patriots of the Motherland will be able to restore the destroyed production.

5. In order to exclude further theft and make the work of enterprises more transparent and verifiable, it is necessary to liquidate the settlement accounts of small subsidiaries and other related structures, the enterprise should have one settlement account and all financial transactions should be carried out through it.

6. It is necessary to restore multi-level control over the work of enterprises, including national ones. The introduction of strict control over all income and expenses will stop theft and squandering.

7. The salary of managers should be controlled by the state and depend on the results of the work of enterprises and the average salary of the team led by them.

8. It is necessary to protect the domestic commodity producer from external interference of goods. For imported products similar to those produced by our country, customs duties should be increased. To make it profitable for the buyer to buy domestic goods.

8. Tactics of the Communist Party

To overcome the crisis. To all the patriotic forces of Russia. It is necessary to rally not the top agreement of political leaders, but a broad nationwide association will save the country. This will not be easy to do. The regime is rapidly afraid of the unification of patriots. They are trying to split us up. Play on the ambitions of the leaders. Use personal grievances and dirty bribery. But we will be wise and patient. Let's not give in to provocations. In the run-up to the elections, the political forces are regrouping at an unprecedented pace. Almost every day, political alliances arise and fall apart. In such a situation, voters can be confused. Therefore, it is extremely important to convey to them a clear understanding of whose interests are expressed by the main parties and blocs, which often hide openly anti-people content behind a euphonious name. On the right side there are two “parties of the former” “Union of Right Forces”

and NDR. Completely bankrupt politicians gathered there, who earned a reputation in the country as raspellers and traitors. “The Union of Right Forces” of Chubais - Kiriyenko represents the bourgeoisie and its overseas patrons. The NDR is the party of “nomenklatura capitalism”, the political roof of the oil and gas barons who have amassed huge fortunes in the years of hard times. The bloc “Fatherland - All Russia” claims to be the new “party of power”. This exotic alliance of Moscow bosses with "moderate" separatists is designed to serve the interests of privileged regions and big business. Feeling the narrowness of their social base, they try to expand it at the expense of the personal authority of well-known political figures. But no matter how this authority suffers from staying in such a company ... "Yabloko" today is increasingly disguised under social democratic slogans. Trying to hide openly pro-American positions from voters. “Yabloko” perform a very important role for the current government, “cover party” calling itself “democratic opposition”. They are trying to convince voters that the root of all current troubles are the personal shortcomings of the “reformers”. And in itself, the course of murderous reforms is absolutely correct and needs only some “adjustment” ... Zhirinovsky became the personification of the regime and its main ideologist. This is a “servant” of all masters, then a democrat, then a nationalist, then just a bully. Now he is actively used as a provocateur, voicing crazy ideas. About the ban on the Communist Party, the introduction of a state of emergency in the country and the abolition of elections, etc. The interests of the lower classes, the despair of the broad working masses are defended by the parties on the left side of the political spectrum. Our party has always taken part in parliamentary elections, having in its ranks not only communists, but also representatives of other organizations and movements. Party organizations and our allies proposed 447 candidates for the federal list of the bloc, of which, as a result of the painstaking work of the personnel commission of the Central Committee and thorough inter-party consultations, the maximum number determined by law is recommended for nomination of 270 candidates. Of these, a fifth of the deputies of the State Duma. Our allies are also widely represented in the bloc. 37 people nominated the Agrarian-Industrial Union, the Trade Union of Agrarians and the Agrarian Deputy Group, 11 people nominated the Movement in Support of the Army, 10 people represent the All-Russian Women's Movement, 32 people represent the organization of Russian scientists of socialist orientation. There are also representatives of the Spiritual Heritage movement of the Orthodox Patriotic Movement, veteran organizations, societies for the disabled, etc. on our list. Such a personnel structure will allow us to solve the tasks of a high degree in the nomination of candidates in single-mandate constituencies. Now it is necessary to convey our position to the voters in the process of intensive, mass explanatory work.

9. Campaign headquarters.

Campaign headquarters will have to:

1. Organize the study of all the nuances of the election legislation relating to the rules of campaigning and propaganda.

2. Make the most efficient use of the documents and recommendations of the central headquarters on the methodology of agitation and propaganda work.

3. Show initiative in finding and applying new forms of campaigning through the Internet, Winners clubs, etc.

4. To increase the efficiency of campaign work through the efforts of its targeting.

In the campaigning struggle, one should not forget about such a formidable weapon, which was forged by the party in the process of Yeltsin's impeachment. The materials on the vote for impeachment are available in full. The task is to convey the position of the candidates to each voter. It is necessary to rely on the help of voluntary assistants in every city, village, microdistrict and quarter. It is they who should become the main conductors of our position to each voter, to convey to the people our priority steps. It is necessary to focus on explaining how we see a way out of today's impasse, what and how we are going to do, what each specific voter will get from it: a worker, a peasant, a teacher, a doctor, a soldier, a scientist, an entrepreneur, a veteran, a young man.

10. We are the future of the country!

Resolutely taking up the revival of the country, we will not succumb to the temptation to redo everything at once. Each of our steps will be verified and calculated from the point of view of its impact on the life of the common man, on the daily needs of the working masses. Our strategy is designed to create sustainable and reasonable “rules of the game” that are common to all and binding on all. In solving many pressing problems, we will be able to rely on the richest experience of the Soviet era. But the Soviet legacy should serve as the basis for Russia to move forward resolutely, and not to roll back. Not a repetition of the old path already traveled, but the creative use of the experience of the Soviet Union obtained at a huge price as a reliable support for the construction of a new Great Russia - this is the only possible way out of the current crisis.

We are the future of the country, not its past. We believe: A renewed Russia will regain its former greatness. Our people have not lost the ability to accomplish great things. We, the sons and grandsons of the heroes of the front and rear, will be able to create conditions when no one can prevent us from working freely. Own and dispose of the fruits of your labor. Decide your own destiny. We have behind us the support and trust of tens of millions of Russians. Invaluable support for workers and peasants, scientists and engineers, doctors and teachers, writers and artists. Those who, with their hard work and talent, create all the values ​​on Earth. Relying on such support, we will definitely lead the country out of the crisis! Our main slogan sounds like this: “Order in the country - prosperity in the house! “. Free people in a free country is our ideal. This is how we will build the Motherland - a prosperous world Power, a country of great Victory. Victory of consciousness on the destruction of the People's Brotherhood - over enmity and hatred, over betrayal. Freedom over slavery. Faith over despair, Justice over lawlessness.

11. Blocks and close contacts.

The leadership of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation considers it an important achievement that during the years of the party's existence it was possible to avoid extreme radicalism (which was pushed by individual members of the party). The Communist Party of the Russian Federation stands for the expansion of the union of communists of trade unions and nationally oriented capital. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation maintains the closest contacts with the People's Patriotic Union of Russia (NPSR), the Russian Communist Youth Union (RKSM), with the All-Russian Socio-Political Movement "Spiritual Heritage" (DN), with the Union of Communist Parties - CPSU (SKP-CPSU), with Agrarian Party of Russia (APR) and with the Movement in Support of the Army (DPA).

NPSR: Created in August 1996 on the basis of a bloc of parties and movements that supported G.A. Zyuganov. At the founding congress, G.A. was elected chairman of the union. Zyuganov, and co-chairs A.V. Rutskoi, A.M. Tuleev. The members of the Presidium and the Coordinating Council of the NPSR included: V.A. Starodubtsev, N.I. Kondratenko, Yu.E. Lodkin, N.K. Maksyuta, A.G. Nazarchuk and others. The NPSR does not provide for fixed membership with special party cards. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the APR joined the NPSR as collective members.

The problem of creating a single left-wing patriotic bloc in the 1995 elections: In principle, most of the communist parties favored the creation of a bloc of "left forces". However, neither during the 1995 election campaign nor during the 1996 presidential campaign did this happen. The main reason, in addition to the ambitions of the political leaders of various communist parties, was the disagreement of radical communists with the erroneous "opportunistic policy" of the leadership of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. Nevertheless, at the regional level, coalitions were often created at the initiative of local party organizations, especially since small communist parties and even the RKRP are forced to work in conjunction with the Communist Party of the Russian Federation in the regions due to the weakness of their organizational base.

During the election campaign, the Communist Party tried to go beyond its traditional electorate and win over patriotic voters. Thus, a non-communist organization, the All-Russian Socio-Political Movement "Spiritual Heritage", became part of the electoral bloc of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. These tendencies were even more intensified during the presidential election campaign. The People's Patriotic Union of Russia (NPSR) was formed, which united about 200 different organizations, including the Communist Party. According to public opinion polls, the NPSR enjoys the support of 20-25% of the population, and in some regions - 30-35%.

The problem of coalition building in the 1999 elections: The leaders of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation chose the tactics of speaking in the elections in "three columns" - the Communist Party itself, "radical patriots" and "enlightened patriots". The choice of such tactics is due to the likelihood of holding elections under a new law (or a presidential decree), which will open the way to the State Duma of the Russian Federation for parties and organizations capable of gaining up to 5% of the votes, the way for which the old law blocked the way to the State Duma of the Russian Federation. Tactics may be changed after August 19, 1999, when such a decree is supposed to be published.

The main goal of the "three columns" tactics is to ensure a wider coverage of voters at the expense of those who, for one reason or another, will not vote for the Communist Party. The second task is to reduce the intensity of contradictions over the formation of the party list of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, which simply cannot accommodate all political allies without infringing on the interests of party functionaries.

The negative side of the chosen tactics is that the "side columns" may not get into the State Duma of the Russian Federation - the Communist Party of the Russian Federation has already worked out the mechanism for organizing elections, and the DPA, for example, is participating in them for the first time. The threat of failure forces the “leaders of the columns” to seek support from political rivals with the Communist Party (for example, the APR consults with Yury Luzhkov’s Fatherland), which, in turn, is fraught with the growth of political independence of former loyal comrades.

APR: The Agrarian Party has been one of the closest political allies of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation since its inception. However, since the spring of 1999, centripetal tendencies have prevailed in relations between them, due to rivalry during the election campaign in the State Duma of the Russian Federation. In fact, until the last moment, the APR was ready to enter into a close pre-election alliance with the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, but did not wait for a concrete proposal - Zyuganov, who acted as an honored guest at the APR congress in March 1999, evaded the call to go to the polls together with the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. As a result, offended farmers voted for independence. The APR leader explained this step by saying that the APR does not intend to "kneel down and beg someone to let us stay." The deterioration of relations is accompanied by disparaging statements by individual leaders of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation against the APR and its electoral opportunities.

DPA: Under the leadership of V. Ilyukhin, the DPA became the closest political ally of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. However, the pre-election campaign somewhat upset this union - the DPA decided to go to the elections on its own, since the arrival in the State Duma of the Russian Federation at the head of its own faction will open attractive political prospects for the leadership of the DPA. The leaders of the organization rightly believe that they will be better able to mobilize radical patriots in their support, who consider the position of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation in relation to the current authorities to be conciliatory. These people will not vote for the Communist Party, but will willingly vote for true patriots. Nevertheless, without the organizational and financial support of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, it will be extremely difficult for the DPA to achieve success, therefore V. Ilyukhin would not like to break off relations, suggesting that they go "in a separate line in a common column." However, the final decision has been postponed until August and, in principle, the DPA can enter the Communist Party bloc, provided it is given 40-60 seats in the future State Duma of the Russian Federation.

13. Representatives in the authorities

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation has many representatives at all levels of state power; only the pro-government movement "Our Home is Russia" can compete with it.

At the federal level: In the leadership of the executive authorities of the Russian Federation (the apparatus of the President of the Russian Federation and the Government), the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is practically not represented. During 1993-1997. its members did not take part in the work of executive authorities for reasons of principle. V. Kovalev, appointed in January 1995 to the post of Minister of Justice in Chernomyrdin's cabinet, was immediately expelled from the Communist Party faction in the State Duma of the Russian Federation. However, since the end of 1997, there has been a change in the attitude of the leadership of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation towards the government, and the possibility of the participation of representatives of the party in the work of the coalition government began to be actively discussed.

In the legislative bodies of the Russian Federation (in the chambers of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation), the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is represented by a large (about 150 deputies) faction in the State Duma of the Russian Federation (for more details, see the section "Faction in the State Duma of the Russian Federation"). Party representative - G.N. Seleznev - in January 1996 he was elected Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation, another member of the Communist Party - Goryacheva S.P. - holds the post of Deputy Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation. Party members head 9 committees of the State Duma of the Russian Federation: Lukyanov A.I. (Committee on Legislation and Judicial-Legal Reform), Varennikov V.I. (Committee for Veterans Affairs), Melnikov I.I. (Committee for Education and Science), Aparina A.V. (Committee for Women, Family and Youth Affairs), Maslyukov Yu.D.

(Committee for Public Associations and Religious Organizations), Sokolov A.S. (Committee for Tourism and Sports) and the Credentials Commission of the State Duma of the Russian Federation (Sevastyanov V.I.).

In the Federation Council of the Russian Federation, the party is represented by up to 70 deputies (actually members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and members of the NPSR), but there is no formal faction of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation in this government body. Members of the Federation Council members of the Communist Party: Belonogov Anatoly Nikolaevich (Head of the Administration of the Amur Region); Borodaev Valery Vasilyevich (Chairman of the Astrakhan Regional Representative Assembly); Vinogradov Nikolai Vladimirovich (Head of the Administration of the Vladimir Region); Volodin Nikolai Andreevich (Chairman of the Orel Regional Duma); Kislitsyn Vyacheslav Aleksandrovich (President of the Republic of Mari El); Korepanov Sergey Evgenievich (Chairman of the State Duma of the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug); Lodkin Yury Evgenievich (Head of the Administration of the Bryansk region); Lyubimov Vyacheslav Nikolaevich (Head of the Administration of the Ryazan Region); Maksyuta Nikolai Kirillovich (Head of the Administration of the Volgograd Region); Mashkovtsev Mikhail Borisovich (Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Kamchatka region); Ponasov Stepan Nikolaevich (Chairman of the Bryansk Regional Duma); Ryabov Alexander Ivanovich (Head of the Tambov Region Administration); Starodubtsev Vasily Alexandrovich (Governor of the Tula region); Stepanov Viktor Nikolaevich (Chairman of the Government of the Republic of Karelia); Fedotkin Vladimir Nikolaevich (Chairman of the Ryazan Regional Duma); Filatov Alexander Alekseevich (Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Kemerovo Region); Chernogorov Alexander Leonidovich (Governor of the Stavropol Territory); Shabanov Ivan Mikhailovich (Head of the Administration of the Voronezh Region); Shershunov Viktor Andreevich (Head of the Administration of the Kostroma Region); Shurchanov Valentin Sergeevich (Chairman of the State Council of Chuvashia), etc.

At the regional level: During the regional elections of 1996-1997. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation managed to get more than 40 of its representatives (or those who were elected with the support of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation) to the heads of the executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, including: The head of the administration of the Amur Region Belonogov A.N.

Assembly of the Kamchatka Region Mashkovtsev MB, Chairman of the Bryansk Regional Duma Ponasov SN, Chairman of the Ryazan Regional Duma Fedotkin VN, Chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Kemerovo Region Filatov AA and etc.

14. Conclusion.

In my opinion, I unscrupulously considered the Communist Party. And got food for thought. With all its scope, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is one of the usual parties. So they claim that when they come to power, they will change everything dramatically, change everything for the better. They will give salaries, pensions, etc. They will raise industry, education, medicine, etc. But these statements of theirs are completely utopian. When the country is mired in debt, devastation, where can they get such a lot of money from? This is simply not realistic, because all the plants are standing, or working only a quarter of their capacity. They also call for a return to the old regime, to transfer everything under the authority of the state. Why did our people suffer so much then? They offer, to put under control, the salary of all state and non-state, high-ranking employees. Then what about democracy? When a person achieved all this with his forehead, with hard work, and someone must decide for him how much he should receive for his work. It was only in Soviet times that a worker received more bosses. Although to swing a sledgehammer, you don’t need a big mind, but to unlearn, to break through in a difficult life, you have to spend so much time, effort, and nerves. And constantly keep your reputation, deal with the tax police, etc. look for opportunities to conclude a contract in order to pay the same workers for their work. And someone will indicate how much he should receive. Only people of the old communist school can reason like that. The Communist Party simply tells a beautiful tale in its election campaign. Of course, there are positive aspects of the Communist Party, but they are so insignificant and few in number. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation is conducting a standard, dirty, slightly aggressive election campaign. Spilling mud at others, they do not think that by doing so they spoil their own rating. Special ardent figures of the Communist Party declare Who does not vote for the Communist Party is a coward, a fascist and stuff like that. But actually, even if it happens that the Communist Party of the Russian Federation comes to power, or rather, if Zyuganov Gennady Andreyevich becomes the president of the Russian Federation, then they will not be able to change anything radically. After all, the people are no longer fooled by the idea of ​​building communism, they are already enjoying the fruits of democracy and a market economy. Although they say that there was money then, cheap prices, but what could you buy with them then? And in order to earn a living wage, one could simply go to work, it was not necessary to work at full capacity. And now you go to the store, and the soul rejoices at the great abundance of goods. And the population is motivated to work. After all, it all depends on the person. And when the communists come to power, they will try to return everything back. Russia will not survive the second coming of the communists.

15. List of used literature:

4. Abramov Yu. K. // Political parties and movements of Russia 1996.

On February 13, 1993, the II Extraordinary Congress of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation opened in a boarding house near Moscow. After almost a year and a half of the ban, the congress announced the resumption of the activity of the party, which became known as the "Communist Party of the Russian Federation." Already in March of the same year, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation was officially registered by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation (registration certificate No. 1618).
At the congress, the Party's Program Statement was adopted, and its Charter was approved. The resolutions of the congress "On the relationship of the communists of Russia with the communist parties and movements of the former Soviet republics", "For the rights of the communists and freedom of political opinion", "On the property of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation", "For the unity of action of the communists" became the basis for the restoration and creation of primary, district , city, district, regional, regional and republican organizations of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the mobilization of communists to fight against the hated regime.
Social experience and many years of practice have shown that at each new stage of development, after the most difficult trials, the Russian communist movement not only revived, but also fundamentally changed. It retained its main, "natural" features and was enriched with new features, consonant with current days, and almost always clearly distinguished itself against the background of other social phenomena and structures.
Ups and downs, the ability to rise when hopes for a revival seem to have dried up - all this has been experienced by Russian communists in a relatively short period. The collapse of the USSR, the collapse of the CPSU, the "wild" capitalization of the country: under these conditions, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation inevitably faced questions about the fate of the party, the fate of the society in which it has to live and act.
Today, primary organizations operate in all regions and cities of Russia without exception. The network of local party organizations has been almost completely restored. City and district committees of the Communist Party exist in 1979 administrative units. Regional organizations of the party have been restored in all subjects of the federation, including all the republics within Russia. The vertical structure of the party is supported by horizontal structures, consisting of councils of secretaries of primary, district and city, as well as regional organizations.
During the period after the restoration of the party, its membership increased to 547,000 members of the Communist Party. There are more than 20,000 primary organizations in the party, including 7,500 territorial-production organizations, 14,869 territorial-professional organizations, 421 territorial-professional organizations, and 1,470 mixed primary organizations.
For five years, 2 congresses, 4 party conferences, 23 Plenums, 159 meetings of the Presidium have been held. Created by the decision of the IV Congress of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the Secretariat of the Central Committee held 89 of its meetings.
At the Fourth Party Congress, the Central Committee of the Party was elected, consisting of 147 members and 38 candidate members of the Central Committee. Of these, 14 permanent working commissions have been formed. The Central Control and Audit Commission was elected in the amount of 33 people.
The strategy and tactics of the party's actions were worked out at congresses and conferences, and were specified at the Plenums, meetings of the Presidium and the Secretariat of the Central Committee. The main areas of activity over the past five years have been: the organizational development and strengthening of the party, the formation of its new image in the mass consciousness, the strengthening of the influence of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation in various social strata and population groups, the organization of a mass movement of workers for a change in the political and socio-economic course of the ruling regime, protection interests of working people, propaganda and agitation-mass work, creation and development of their own information base, participation in elections.
The implementation of the political course of the party was developed in resolutions, appeals and statements of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation on various topical issues in the life of the country and the party, including the events in Chechnya, on the attitude towards the current anti-people regime, in defense of workers and others.
Much attention was paid to organizational and personnel work, the theoretical development of problems of party building, the preparation of instructions and methodological recommendations, the generalization of the experience of regional committees of the Communist Party, the implementation of constant communication and assistance to party committees.
An important place in the activities of the party was occupied by ideological work, substantively aimed at the political education of Russian citizens duped by the regime and counter-propaganda; political study of party activists; development of forms and methods of agitation-mass work; development of party positions in matters of state building, national and regional policy. Much attention is paid to questions of the creative development of theoretical thought in the Party. On the initiative of the party, an organization of Russian scientists of socialist orientation was created. The magazines "IZM" and "Dialogue" are published.
In order to increase their influence on labor collectives, the trade unions are solving the problem of uniting the still scattered working class, the strike movement. In order to expand its influence on the women's movement, the All-Russian Public Organization "All-Russian Women's Union" was created in 1996, with regional branches in all regions of Russia.
The constant concern of the Party is to strengthen its influence on the youth, to attract young people to the Party. And there is progress in this direction. So over the past five years, about 70,000 young people under 40 have been accepted as members of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.
The party and its Central Committee are in the field of view of the socio-economic situation of the country, the development of a general policy of the party and specific proposals for changing the economic course, implementing emergency measures of state control over the activities of commercial banks and other financial institutions, various funds, and stimulating domestic producers , social improvement of the population.
Participation in elections was one of the main activities of the party. Over the past five-year period, five nationwide election campaigns were held in the country (elections of the State Duma in 1993 and 1995, elections of the President of the Russian Federation, gubernatorial elections in 1996-1997, elections of legislative bodies of power of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in 1997), in which the Communist Party The Russian Federation acted as the main counterbalance to the ruling party and convincingly proved not only its political viability, but also its claims to power.
In 1993, 12.4% of active voters voted for the party list of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation; in 1995, 22.3% of voters voted for the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. In 1993, CPRF candidates won in 10 single-mandate constituencies, in 1995 - in 60 constituencies. In the presidential elections, our candidate G. A. Zyuganov received in the second round the confidence of 40% of active voters (30.1 million Russians).
In 1996-1997 Elections of heads of executive power of subjects of the Russian Federation were held in 62 regions. Candidates nominated or supported by the CPRF-NPSR won in 26 regions, and in 5 more - the CPRF supported the incumbent governors, who also won.
Legislative elections were held in 1997 in 31 regions. According to their results, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation also significantly expanded its representation in local legislative bodies in all regions.
An important milestone in the life of the party was the creation in 1996 of the People's Patriotic Union of Russia, which included the main opposition parties and movements of the country, but the core of which is the Communist Party. Time has dispelled fears that the party will reduce its influence by joining the bloc. The creation of a bloc of left opposition forces made it possible to significantly increase pressure on the regime and achieve significant results in regional elections. The party only strengthened its authority among the patriotic opposition.
Important for the party in political terms is the work of the faction "Communist Party of the Russian Federation" in the State Duma. Since it is through it that the Communist Party implements its program provisions for defending the interests of working people, implements the pre-election mandates of voters. The faction is the political mouthpiece of the entire party, the most stable channel of everyday communication between communists and the population of all regions of Russia.
Much attention is paid to the development of ties with the fraternal communist parties in the CIS countries. Meetings with the leaders of the fraternal parties of Armenia, Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine and others, their participation in the events held by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation have become a constant practice. Regular consultations are held on various issues and problems.
The contacts of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation with the communist and socialist parties of the far abroad became much more active. Delegations of the Central Committee took part in the congresses of the Communist Parties of Vietnam, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal, Syria, Slovakia, Finland, France, Yugoslavia and others.
The financial and material-technical base of the party is being strengthened. In addition to income from membership dues, the party fund today is replenished by donations from citizens and organizations. The party has the building of the Central Committee. New opportunities have opened up for the normal work of most regional party committees. Many city and regional committees of the Communist Party are improving their material and technical base. Full-time party workers have appeared in many regional party committees, which has recently made it possible to significantly improve the quality and level of organizational and political work.
The Party lives, develops, gains experience. Over the past five years, in the face of rabid anti-communism, persecution and defamation, she has managed to strengthen her authority and influence in Russian society. The party has a future!

Watching disputes on the Internet between supporters and opponents of the Communist Party, you are often surprised how far the supporters of the Communist Party are from understanding communism and the essence of the communist idea. Briefly, their position can probably be described as follows -

"We are for all good things and against all bad things."

What the Communist Party should be like and what it should do, they can't even imagine! They are quite satisfied that the name of their party contains the word "communist", in their understanding this is quite enough to reflect the true essence of the political organization. They do not realize the difference between form and content and do not want to realize. Sad but true!

And unfortunately, the roots of this phenomenon lie in the post-Stalin USSR, when faith in the Communist Party was simply limitless, which was actually used by those who wanted to return capitalism. She, this blind faith in the infallibility of the CPSU, did not allow the Soviet Communists to organize the masses of Soviet working people in the fight against the advancing counter-revolution, and yet the Soviet people did not aspire to capitalism at all.

I remember that the notorious A. Yakovlev, the “gray eminence of perestroika”, after the destruction of the USSR and the destruction of Soviet socialism, admitted that the enemies of socialism did this using the power of the party itself. But even such a recognition of an open enemy did not in the least alert the Soviet party inhabitants (there was such a sort of Soviet people in the USSR who were to a large extent responsible for everything that happened to our country at the end of the 20th century), did not make them think about what is political party and what are its goals and objectives and to analyze in the most serious way all the activities of the CPSU and the essence of the newly-minted CPRF.

The communist deserved it!

Imagine, the year is 1916 and Tsar Nicholas II is presenting an order to Lenin ..., all the Bolsheviks are applauding and voting for Lenin !!!

Talking about the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, one often has to point out that the main pillar of the existing capitalist system in Russia is not the United Russia party in power, as many people think, but the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. Some comrades are very surprised by this. And in fact it is so in fact.

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation is really the heir of the late CPSU, which actively helped the destruction of socialism in our country, and now continues its policy, fettering the revolutionary energy of the party masses and a significant part of non-party workers who are extremely dissatisfied with capitalism. Accustomed not to think, not to take any responsibility and meekly obey all the instructions of the party authorities, a significant part of the former members of the CPSU, which is now in the ranks of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, has actually turned out to be completely neutralized from any kind of active political activity. Instead of real politics, they were offered the illusion of politics and, without going into the essence of the matter, they grabbed it with their hands and feet, since such an activity was completely safe for them and fully corresponded to their philistine understanding. After all, it was no longer necessary to be a real revolutionary, as the Bolsheviks were, to risk oneself and make sacrifices - Zyuganov “cancelled” the class struggle and revolutions, what else is needed? Slowly, they say, if we try and vote correctly in the elections, we will come to socialism by peaceful parliamentary means.

Explaining why the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is not a communist party, we will not analyze each of the many statements of its leader G.A. Zyuganov, to quote footcloths from the program of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation - this has been done more than once, and there is no point in repeating it. We will look deep into the problem, covering it in general and as a whole, we will show the very essence of this party, comparing it with a truly communist one. And let the reader decide for himself whether he agrees with our arguments or not, whether they are false or true.

First, about the criteria with which we will approach the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, i.e. about what a political party is, and what a real communist party is.

Political Party - it is not just some kind of gathering of like-minded friends who suddenly decided to go into politics, it is a political organization of a particular social class that reflects the ideology of this class and defends its fundamental political and economic interests. Indigenous, not momentary, not temporary, not fleeting. These fundamental interests of the social class are determined by the place of this class in social production under the given existing social order.

Based on this, the fundamental interest of the bourgeois class is to maintain its political dominance, to maintain private ownership of the means of social production, allowing this class to exploit the proletarians by appropriating their labour.

The fundamental interest of the proletarian class is to get rid of all exploitation and all oppression, which can only be done by abolishing private ownership of the means of social production as a factor without which no exploitation is possible.

The most conscious and most active part of the proletariat is working class- hired workers employed in the sphere of industrial production. The political party of the working class, made up of advanced workers, leaders and organizers of the working class, and expressing the fundamental interests of the entire class of proletarians, and there is - communist party.

Working class mindset –dialectical materialism which completely rejects any idealistic, including religious consciousness.

Ideology of the working class – Marxism-Leninism in its classic form without any cuts, distortions and revisions. One of the most important principles of Marxism-Leninism is proletarian internationalism. Marxism-Leninism clearly shows the path to the emancipation of the proletariat - socialist revolution, with the help of which the proletariat, overthrowing the power of the bourgeoisie, seizes political power, and further dictatorship of the proletariat which is necessary for the proletariat to maintain its rule, to suppress the bourgeoisie and build a new socialist state. It is in this way that, as is known from world history, all the countries of socialism, including the USSR, were built.

In order to be entitled to be called communist, a political party must comply with everyone without exception the above criteria. (Generally speaking, not only these criteria, but these are the main ones.)

Now let's see if the Communist Party corresponds to at least one of them.

Is the CPRF a party of the working class?

No is not. There are very few workers in this party, and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation does not even position itself as a party of workers, declaring that the Communist Party is "a genuine party of working people, providing answers to the most pressing questions of modern development". (see the program of the Communist Party)

Maybe someone will not notice the difference, but it is also the most fundamental. A worker is an employee in the sphere of industrial production, i.e. proletarian. And here such a social class as "workers" does not exist in nature!“Workers” is a synonym for the words “people”, “common people”, “working people”, etc. Representatives of the bourgeois class can also be classified as workers or working people, because they also work - they manage their property. Exactly the same as the concept of "people" includes all classes and strata of society without exception.

And whose interests in this case will be expressed by the party, which includes both the exploited and the exploiters, if their interests are directly opposed to each other? Of course, NOT the interests of the exploited, but only the exploiters!

A party that does not indicate the interests of which class it specifically defends, arguing about the people in general, about abstract working people - there is always a BOURGEOIS party !!!

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Communist Party of the Russian Federation consists of all and sundry - from factory workers to representatives of the big bourgeoisie. But most of all in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation are pensioners who do not belong to any social class, since they do not participate in social production in any way. Pensioners are an interclass stratum that is materially entirely dependent on the Russian bourgeois state, as a result of which they have for the most part a petty-bourgeois, and not at all a proletarian consciousness.

Are the members of the CPRF the leaders and organizers of the working class and the proletarian masses?

No, they are not. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation has no influence in the working class and the proletarian masses and does not carry out any work there. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation is completely occupied with its parliamentary activities and only sometimes, for the sake of its own advertising, is distracted by commemorative actions or holds permitted protest events of a social nature, in which only activists of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation participate. Workers and proletarians, i.e. the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is not interested in the working people, it only hides behind words about the welfare of the working people and about socialism, in fact fully defending the interests of the bourgeoisie and strengthening capitalism.

For 20 years of its existence, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation has not organized a single strike, and has never even supported one of them! Is everything perfect at our Russian enterprises? There are no contradictions and injustices? There, employers take care of the workers as if they were themselves? Of course not! The situation of the working class in Russia is very difficult, wages are on the verge of survival of people, safety precautions are almost never observed, working conditions are often terrible, and so on. But all this is of no interest to the “party of working people”.

With huge financial resources at its disposal, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation has never allocated a single penny to the workers in the strike fund - it does not risk infringing on the rights of the capitalists, even in a small way, and in every possible way avoids actions that could hit them in the pocket. And it's no coincidence - the entire leadership of the Communist Party, both in the center and in the field, itself belongs to the class of owners. There is not a single representative of the working class in the Communist Party faction in the State Duma, but there are quite a few real oligarchs. As a result, it is not surprising that in government bodies the Communist Party fully serves the interests of capital, often supporting bills and actions of the authorities that are directly aimed at infringing on the interests of the Russian proletariat.

How does the Communist Party of the Russian Federation treat private ownership of the means of social production?

As we pointed out above, the real communist party completely denies private ownership of the means of social production, considering its destruction as its main goal. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation not only does not deny private property, but, on the contrary, fully supports it, and the Program of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation testifies to this with all evidence - such a measure as the destruction of private ownership of the means of social production, and hence the exploitation of man by man, is not provided for in the Program of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation at all! !! Even at the third stage of the country's development, to which the Communist Party of the Russian Federation intends to lead the country after coming to power (its version of "neo-socialism"), only "the dominance of social forms of ownership of the main means of production.""Domination" means that private property SAVE, and given the fact that we are talking about the third, final stage in the construction of Keperaf's "neo-socialism", it is preserved forever! Those. Citizens who believe in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation will NEVER receive real socialism, and even more so communism! The Communist Party itself declares this honestly and directly. You just need to be able to understand what it declares, for which you need to master at least the basics of Marxism-Leninism and logic.

Worldview of the Communist Party

As we wrote above, the worldview of a real communist party must be strictly dialectical-materialistic. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation not only does not deny religion, but, on the contrary, cooperates with religious institutions in the closest possible way - a lot has been said in the media about the ties between the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the Russian Orthodox Church. Moreover, the leader of the Communist Party Zyuganov does not even hide them, stating:

“It was not by chance that we adopted Orthodoxy”, "Together with Patriarch Kirill, they created the Russian Cathedral."

And what is religion in the understanding of real communists? This is an ideology that allows you to keep the oppressed and exploited in slavery. "Religion is the opium of the people" Everyone remembers this expression. It means that every religion denies scientific knowledge of the world, without which it is IMPOSSIBLE to build a truly just and truly free society. In order to create such a society, you need to believe in Man, and not in an abstract god, believe in the ability of a person to change his own life and become the master of his own destiny. Religion, on the other hand, claims the opposite, that a person is powerless, that a certain god decides everything for him, a certain higher power that arranges the world as it pleases. The true freedom of a person with such a worldview is impossible. This is the worldview of a slave, not a free man. That is why communism denies religion as the ideology of slaves, depriving them of the strength to fight for their freedom.

A party that favors religion is always a party that works for the benefit only and exclusively of the oppressors, and not of the oppressed.

Speaking of freedom, in reality such a party does everything so that people who trust it will never see this freedom.

Knowing perfectly well how communism treats religion and why it denies it (as well as any idealistic worldview!), the leader of the Communist Party Zyuganov is trying to cover up the betrayal of the interests of the proletariat committed by the Communist Party, by communism itself, in the real possibility of which our people were convinced during the Soviet era. He states, for example, that "Jesus Christ is the first communist on Earth", but "The Sermon on the Mount of Christ is the same Manifesto of the Communist Party of Marx, only written better" thereby almost identifying communism and Orthodoxy, replacing true science with religion (i.e. mythology).

Who can benefit from such a distortion of the communist idea, such a slander against it? Only and exclusively to the bourgeois class, which categorically does not want the liberation of the proletariat!

Ideology of the Communist Party

The ideology of the real Communist Party - Marxism-Leninism in the Program of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is mentioned only once at the very beginning, and that is rather slippery:

"Our party ... is guided by the Marxist-Leninist teaching and develops it creatively...".

In fact, the Program of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation does not smell of any Marxism, and what the Communist Party of the Russian Federation calls the "development of the Marxist-Leninist doctrine" is a complete denial of Marxism. Moreover, the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Zyuganov does not even hide this, in the program “Shevchenko vs Zyuganov” stating:

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation no longer needs Marxism-Leninism - the only weapon with which the proletariat can defeat the bourgeoisie.

Why?

But because the Communist Party does not want to win it!

Attitude of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation to the national question

For a truly communist party, the principle of proletarian internationalism is at the forefront of all its activities, and this is expressed even in the main slogan of the communists of the whole world -

"Proletarians of all countries, unite!"

Why is this the main slogan of the communists?

Yes, because Only by uniting the proletariat of different countries and peoples can the world bourgeoisie be defeated!

The CPRF views the national question in a completely different way. On the one hand, it seems to declare the friendship of peoples:

"The Party is fighting... for the re-establishment of the fraternal Union of Soviet peoples..."[cm. Program of the Communist Party] , on the other hand, declares in the same place in his Program that "the tasks of solving the Russian question and the struggle for socialism essentially coincide."

These are the words of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, and its actions are even more odious - the movement "Russian way", initiated by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, unites in its ranks not workers and rural workers, but 130 bourgeois-patriotic, nationalist and Orthodox structures, such as "Holy Russia", the Cossack Foundation "For the Fatherland" and the International Slavic Academy! Those. terry monarchists, nationalists and religious leaders, whose task is to contribute in every possible way to the prosperity of the ruling class in Russia today - the bourgeoisie, and, consequently, to the unrestrained oppression and exploitation of the working masses of our country!

Arguing in its Program on the fraternal Union of Soviet peoples, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation simultaneously hates these peoples with fierce hatred, demanding legislative restrictions on the entry into Russia of migrants from Central Asia, which, generally speaking, are representatives of those same Soviet peoples who lived under Soviet socialism among themselves very amicably. Why did these peoples not please the Communist Party of the Russian Federation today? The fact that the Communist Party of the Russian Federation fulfills the will of the national bourgeoisie of Russia and the Central Asian republics, which are simply engaged in dividing the market among themselves, including the labor market, without which profit and appropriation of other people's labor is impossible.

Which class benefits from the ardent nationalism of the Communist Party? Again, only and exclusively the bourgeoisie!!!

(The editors of the site "For Bolshevism!" recommends readers to read the article by V. Sarmatov " The Problem of Guest Workers: A Marxist Analysis")

The attitude of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation to the socialist revolution

The classics of Marxism-Leninism proved with all irrefutability that the transition from capitalism to socialism is IMPOSSIBLE except through a socialist revolution. History has repeatedly confirmed their conclusion.

As for the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Zyuganov's most famous phrase is probably the notorious " ... Our country has exhausted the limit for revolutions and other shocks ... » , which says only one thing, that the leader of the Communist Party is not only an outright lackey of the bourgeois class, but also not a very smart person.

Revolutions cannot be banned. A revolution is a change in the socio-economic system, cardinal changes in all areas of society, during which the ruling class in society changes. Revolutions are demanded by life itself, the very development of productive forces, human society, science and technology. Revolutions arise regardless of the desire of any specific individuals, this is the result of the action of the objective laws of the development of human society. And since the old ruling class never voluntarily leaves, in a good way, these changes are usually brought about by revolutionary uprisings. Such were, for example, all bourgeois revolutions, when the bourgeois class, which had grown up in the depths of feudal society, overthrew the feudal class. All socialist revolutions were the same, when the oppressed proletarian class overthrew their oppressors, the bourgeois class.

But the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and its leader Zyuganov categorically disagree with the laws of social development. They completely deny the socialist revolution, suggesting that the working people go towards socialism through political struggle in the bourgeois parliament. The fact that this path is completely unrealistic and unpromising does not bother them. Exactly the opposite, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is very happy with this - after all, this party lives very well, receiving huge money from the Russian bourgeois authorities for its alleged protection of the interests of workers.

Would the bourgeoisie pay a lot of money to those who really want to overthrow it? Never! This means that the activity of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation in the form in which it is carried out is beneficial to the bourgeoisie!

What does the Communist Party of the Russian Federation think about the dictatorship of the proletariat

If the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is afraid of revolutions like fire, then just mentioning the dictatorship of the proletariat, on the principles of which any true Communist Party should stand, will immediately have enough kondrashka. We look at the Program, listen to the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Zyuganov and see that we were not mistaken - the way it is.

In the Program of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, in the speeches of Zyuganov and in the official documents of the party, there is not even a mention of the dictatorship of the proletariat!

But V.I. Lenin directly pointed out that anyone who denies the dictatorship of the proletariat is an enemy of the working class and an enemy of socialism, because it is impossible to build a socialist society without the dictatorship of the proletariat!

In a class society, where two main social classes, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, participate in material production, only either the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie or the dictatorship of the proletariat is possible. There can be no other state, which the Communist Party of the Russian Federation constantly talks about, without specifying its class essence and calling it the "state of the working people"!

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation invites Russian workers to go not to the scientific socialism of Marx and Lenin, but to some kind of “socialism of the 21st century”, “new socialism” (“neo-socialism”), in which labor and capital will somehow get along peacefully. Can a wolf and a sheep, a man and a tick that feeds on his blood, live together peacefully? It's completely out of the question! One of them must yield to the other. And historical practice shows that whenever there is talk about "peaceful coexistence of labor and capital", in fact, it turns out that this means only the complete subordination of labor to capital. That is exactly what happens with the Communist Party.

Let's see what KPRF's "socialism of the 21st century" consists of and what are its main features.

The CPRF sees its main task as:

"the establishment of the democratic power of the working people, the broad people's patriotic forces led by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation."[Cm. Program of the Communist Party].

This party is going to:

“actively revive and develop direct democracy…”[Cm. Program of the Communist Party ].

What is "democracy"?

This is something that can never be, and what the bourgeoisie always shouts about, covering their interest with talk about the people in general.

Why can't there be democracy?

Because it makes no sense for the people to rule over themselves. Dominate always OVER SOMEONE else! Over the one who needs to be forced to do your will. In a class society, not the people always rule, but a part of the people - the class. In a classless society, i.e. under full communism, it is not required to rule over anyone at all - people will become so conscious and educated that a communist society will function on the basis of self-government, high self-consciousness of all citizens, who will not need any coercion.

Communists openly say that under socialism the proletariat will rule. Who will he rule over? Above the bourgeoisie and the bourgeois elements, their fragments, so that they cannot again become oppressors and exploiters. Under socialism, the overwhelming majority of the people rule over an insignificant minority.

And only the bourgeoisie, always constituting a deliberately small part of the people of the country, hides its dominance over the majority with words about the power of the whole people. And this is not at all accidental, the bourgeoisie needs this deception, because otherwise the majority simply will not obey it! This is the true meaning of the “power of the people”, to which the Communist Party of the Russian Federation calls!

What will happen in the end? And the same thing that is now - everything under the KPRF "renewed socialism" will be decided by the bourgeoisie. And it is she who, under the talk of "real democracy" will again be the ruling class! From this it directly follows that The “neo-socialism” of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is typical capitalism, exactly the same as we have today!

It may be objected that the Program of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation says a lot about specific measures to improve the social situation of workers and even raises the question of nationalization.

Yes, there are such provisions in the CPRF Program.

But what do they really mean in practice under conditions when everything is controlled by the bourgeoisie, when private ownership of the means of social production is allowed in the country?

And the fact that any social benefits for the working people will be temporary, it is difficult to knock them out from the bourgeoisie, but it very easily and quickly takes them back. How much we talked about "Swedish socialism" and "welfare state" states during perestroika! And where are they now? No, not at all! European working people lived relatively well while the USSR was alive. At that time, the European bourgeoisie needed to smooth out social contradictions in their society so that the proletarian masses, looking at the USSR, would not strive for socialism. But after the destruction of Soviet socialism, the European bourgeoisie no longer had any need to spend huge material resources on the “worthy” life of their employees. Social guarantees for employees in Europe began to rapidly fold. And today only “horns and legs” remain from them.

A similar situation with nationalization, which Zyuganov often talks about and which is very popular with most fans of the Communist Party. Nationalization of nationalization - discord.

What is nationalization?

This is the transfer of the means of production from private ownership to state ownership. And here the key point is state which becomes the new owner of the means of production, its essence.

If it is a socialist state, i.e. dictatorship of the proletariat, then nationalization is undoubtedly a progressive and necessary measure capable of fundamentally improving the social and economic position of all the working masses in the country.

But if we are talking about a bourgeois state, such as our Russia, for example, then the position of the working people from the transfer of the means of production from private hands to the ownership of such a state WILL NOT CHANGE in the least!

Why?

Yes, because the bourgeois state (the state of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie) is a kind of committee for managing the affairs of the entire bourgeois class in the country, something like hired managers. In fact, the means of production both belonged to the bourgeoisie (a specific individual or several individuals), so they will belong to private individuals, only a little more of them, but still an insignificantly small part of the country's population. And as private individuals (big capital) received all the profits from these means of production, so they will receive them, only now this profit will be divided not into units, but into tens or hundreds of people who are members of the bourgeois class and have access to the state trough .

In understanding the essence of the bourgeois state lies the root the issue of corruption in our country, about which Zyuganov talks a lot, cursing and branding her. As long as capitalism exists in Russia, corruption will flourish in it. And all for the same reason - the state funds coming into the treasury of the Russian state from our taxes and payments, the class of the bourgeoisie (big bourgeoisie) perceives with their own personal means!

The treasury of Russia is the general treasury of the bourgeois class. This money is for them, and not for you and me, not for the common people, not for the working masses.

That is why Russia is constantly reducing spending on social guarantees for the population, introducing new fines and payments, increasing tariffs, rising prices, privatizing everything and everything, etc. Our Russian capital wants to get fat even more! And he simply cannot do otherwise - otherwise he will not be able to withstand competition with foreign capital, and that will simply gobble him up.

What is the conclusion from all this?

As you can see, not a single main criterion for a true communist party, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation DOES NOT MATCH!!!

Conclusion:

Communist Party - the consignment NOT communist.

CPRF- a purely bourgeois party. It reflects the interests of the middle and petty bourgeoisie in Russia.

The goal of the Communist Party- not socialism, but the preservation of capitalism.

Communist Party method- fooling the working masses with beautiful words about "democracy" and "new socialism".

CPRF- the main pillar of the bourgeois regime existing in the country, because it fetters the revolutionary energy of the masses, directing their legitimate and just protest against the existing system on the path where it is IMPOSSIBLE to defeat the bourgeoisie and capitalism!

Leonid Sokolsky argued

From me:

A communist who does not restore Soviet power is a false communist. If a party whose name contains the word "communist" does not restore Soviet power, then it is false. Personally, I think that the Communist Party is a communist fake.
