Communist Party of the Russian Federation

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF) is a major political party in Russia that advocates for socialist principles, government control of key industries, and the protection of workers' rights. It positions itself as a successor to the Soviet-era Communist Party, emphasizing social equality and national sovereignty. While it supports some democratic processes, it often promotes skepticism towards Western institutions and capitalism. The KPRF remains one of the main opposition parties in Russia, drawing support from those nostalgic for Soviet-era stability and values, but it operates within the constitutional framework of the Russian political system.
