The Communist Party "Communists of Russia" (CPCR; Russian: Коммунистическая партия «Коммунисты России»; КПКР; Kommunisticheskaya partiya «Kommunisty Rossii», KPKR) or simply Communists of Russia (CR; Russian: Коммунисты России; КР; Kommunisty Rossii, KR) is an anti-revisionist Marxist–Leninist communist party in Russia. Communists of Russia was founded in May 2009 as a public non-commercial organisation, and officially registered as a political party in April 2012.[1][2]
The party 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.[citation needed] The party's main rival on the left of Russia's political spectrum is the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF), which sees itself as the successor to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU).[4] 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.[5] However, the party has been widely described as a spoiler party, including by the CPRF.[6][7][8][9][10]
On March 18, 2022, an extraordinary party congress was held, at which a new chairman of the Central Committee of the party, Sergey Malinkovich, was elected.[11][12] On December 28, 2023, he was nominated by an overwhelming majority as the party candidate for president of Russia in the 2024 presidential election.[13][14][15] Malinkovich promised a program like Stalin's ten blows, against United States capitalism and imperialism, and victory in Russia's war against Ukraine.[16]
