KPRF (Communist Party of the Russian Federation)

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF) is a political party in Russia that advocates for socialist principles, social equality, and the protection of workers’ rights. It traces its roots to the Soviet-era Communist Party and seeks to promote government-controlled industries, social welfare, and a stronger welfare state. While it opposes many of the reforms implemented after the Soviet Union's collapse, it operates within Russia’s democratic system, often serving as the main opposition party. The KPRF appeals to those nostalgic for Soviet stability and values, emphasizing social justice, economic nationalism, and a return to some socialist policies.
