They seem better than CPRF.
First impression, they seem like a spoiler party. All they do is take away votes that could go to KPRF while achieving nothing in practice. The Communist movement in Russia can’t afford to be split, it’s hard enough already putting up a substantial opposition to the UR monolith.
I’m not saying that KPRF doesn’t have bad political lines, they do, but these need to be addressed through internal party struggle.
It’s funny… from what I’ve heard, the KPRF thought that Communist Party of Russia was state op, according to wikipedia…
That seems unlikely to me. I think they mean well but as usual leftists are prone to splitting off into splinter groups over fairly minor ideological differences when they should be uniting for the sake of the larger struggle.
