Communists of Russia


The Communist Party of Communists of Russia is a Marxist–Leninist communist party in Russia founded in May 2009 as a public non-commercial organisation and officially registered as a political party in April 2012.
The KR has regional organisations in 69 regions and operates in 70 regions of Russia and has official affiliation with two inter-regional public associations: the Communists of St. Petersburg and Leningrad Region and the Communists of the Far East. The party's main rival on the left of Russia's political spectrum is the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, which sees itself as the successor to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The KR considers itself an alternative to the CPRF, which it believes is no longer a Marxist party and will not be able to return to power as long as Gennady Zyuganov is First Secretary.
This party is known to support bringing back the death penalty.
