Communist Party Of The Russian Federation In Contemporary Russia

As an important force in the world communist movement,the Communist Party of the Russian Federation?CPRF?has made important contributions to the development of the world communist movement.In the 1990s,CPRF experienced the development process from reconstruction to prosperity.The size of the organization and its voter support occupied more than one-third of Russia's political space.As an opposition party representing the interests of the vast number of working people in Russia,CPRF strongly opposes the political and economic policy of the Russian government,which played a restraining role in Boris Yeltsin government.Therefore,CPRF has become an important political force in Russia and played a pivotal role.However,the development of the world socialist movement was still at a low stage in early 21^st century.CPRF's ideological differences intensified under internal and external pressures.Subsequently,the organization was divided and the number of party members was greatly reduced.No matter in the Duma election or the presidential election,the role of CPRF in Russian political life is increasingly limited.Its influence and strength have not been comparable to its early days.What difficulties does CPRF face?Why does the dilemma arise?What are the prospects for its parliamentary road?The article will attempt to analyze.Guided by the basic principles of Marxism,this article mainly elaborates on the plight of CPRF and its causes.The full text is divided into the following parts:the introduction explains the reasons for choosing this topic,the significance of the research,the current status of research at home and abroad,and the research plans.The first part briefly summarizes the historical development process of CPRF in the past30 years,including the four stages of banning to recovery,short-term glory,frustration to decline and developing in low tide.The second part mainly expounds the development path choice of CPRF.This part discusses whether CPRF should take the revolutionary path or the parliamentary path.In today's Russia,people desire a stable living environment.Therefore,it is unrealistic for CPRF to seize power through a violent revolution.The objective political environment requires that CPRF can only achieve its goals through peaceful and democratic means.CPRF has recognized the current parliamentary system since the reconstruction and carried out activities within the legal framework provided by the current Constitution.CPRF believes if they want to achieve the ultimate goal,the only way is to establish the people's power.The third part elaborates on the plight of CPRF in the organization,including the lack of charismatic leaders,the sharp decline in the number of party members,the aging of the team and the financial constraints within the party.After nearly 30 years of political struggle,CPRF has not elected any new prestigious politicians.The leaders of CPRF cannot compare with Yeltsin and Vladimir Putin in terms of personality and political tactics.Not only that,CPRF also faces the problems of party members'construction,such as the excessive proportion of elderly party members,the serious shortage of young party members,and the lack of freshmen.In addition,the limited financial resources have also greatly restricted the development of CPRF.The fourth part mainly introduces the situation of CPRF's elections in the previous State Duma elections and presidential elections in Russia,including data such as the number of votes of the CPRF,the rate of votes,the number of seats,and the proportion of seats.The continued decline in election performance indicates that CPRF has not only lost its advantage in parliamentary elections,but has also failed miserably in the presidential elections.The fifth part mainly analyzes the causes of the plight of CPRF,and we elaborate the causes from international factors and domestic factors.Among them,the limitations of CPRF itself are the internal causes of its difficulties.The institutional factors,strong political opponents and international factors are its external causes.In short,CPRF,as an epitome of the development of the Communist Party organizations in the capitalist countries,is also an important driving force for the world socialist movement.By studying various explorations inside and outside the parliament since the founding of CPRF,revealing the dilemmas and challenges it faces,we want to analyze the cause of its dilemma so as to find a path suitable for the development of CPRF.
