DISCLAIMER: Although this video has little to do with the article below, I could sense the man's passion and rage, and I thought it was crucial to hear and comprehend what he was saying. Personally, I understand his viewpoint.
Here is what Gleb Viktorov said:
“I might be a junkie, an alcoholic, and so on, but when the guys I grew up with—f***—die, they won’t even say the word. They don’t call it a war; it’s an ‘SVO’ [Special Military Operation]—and that really hurts. I grew up with these people, f***. My sound engineer cuts my mic, f***. Why am I so furious? You might ask, what the f*** actually happened? The shittiest thing that can happen to a Russian person happened: a Russian betraying another Russian. We’re going to the polls—we’re voting for the CPRF. Zhirinovsky was killed; the CPRF is all that’s left.”
Dear readers and subscribers,
As the State Duma elections draw nearer, the “systemic opposition” is increasingly keen to project concern for voters, rolling out initiatives that are patently unfeasible. Parliamentary parties have carved out a comfortable niche: they draw state funding while criticizing the government, all without bearing any actual responsibility for anything.
On July 15, the CPRF (Communist Party of the Russian Federation) held a nationwide party meeting, while the LDPR convened an expanded session of its State Duma faction. Both the Communists and the Liberal Democrats voiced grievances against the authorities.
According to CPRF leader Zyuganov, the election campaign is unfolding amid a “fierce war unleashed by NATO against the ‘Russian world,’” yet the ruling party refuses to heed the lessons of the Soviet leadership, which faced similar challenges. The effectiveness of those past strategies has been proven by CPRF governors—a fact that even opponents are “forced to acknowledge,” the Communist leader stressed.
Russia's Communist Party Filed a Nationalist Manifesto
The KPRF's new Duma report on the "state-forming Russian people" marks a clean break from Marxist politics. Here's what it actually says.
In Zyuganov’s view, the Communists’ achievements at the local level demonstrate the “possibility of success and victory” in the upcoming State Duma elections. He urged every Communist to adopt a “personal program” alongside the party platform: “Everyone should make a list. Any one of you is capable of bringing 50 to 100 people to the polls.”
The message to voters should be simple, Zyuganov added:
“If you like the current course, vote for United Russia; if you don’t, vote for the CPRF and the popular-patriotic forces.”
