On the position of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation regarding the adoption of the new Constitution of the Russian Federation

In two issues of the newspaper Pravda (No. 9 of 01/30/2020 and No. 12 of 02/06/2020) - the central organ of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) - a statement by the Presidium of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation “The Constitution is obliged to protect the interests of the majority” and the article “Russia we need a Constitution of justice and a government of public trust ”, signed by the chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Gennady Zyuganov.

As previously noted in the materials of the AUCPB, a party led by Zyuganov is only called a communist party, but in reality it is a Social Democratic party of a parliamentary type. This is exactly what it was planned by the trinity - Gorbachev, Yeltsin and Zyuganov - at their joint meeting in August 1991, and it was created in February 1993. The ideological principles of the Communist Party — opportunism, revisionism and cooperation with the bourgeoisie — have been the foundation of the Communist Party since its founding. . In politics, she denies the revolutionary path of struggle and the dictatorship of the proletariat, in economics, it admits its multistructure with private ownership of the means of production.

The Communist Party’s statement noted that “In the event of a fair referendum being conducted fairly and not replaced by a“ nationwide poll ”, the“ execution ”Constitution (Yeltsin’s 1993 - V.Z.) had no chance of success.” We have to remind our readers that precisely because the Communist Party brought 15% of voters to a referendum on December 12, 1993, the Yeltsin bourgeois Constitution became the main law of the Russian Federation, which is still in force (According to official figures, 54.81% of the Yeltsin draft constitution The Russian Federation was supported then by 58.43% of those who voted). The AUCPB, as is known, urged not to participate either in the blood parliamentary elections or in a referendum under the conditions of the bourgeois Yeltsin dictatorship.

Further, in a statement by the Communist Party, Putin’s amendments are not enough, so their party proposes its own:

“- to fix the belonging of the Russian bowels to the people ...;

- oblige the government to index pensions ...;

- fix the retirement age as the most important social guarantee: 60 years for men, 55 years for women;

- establish that the minimum wage and minimum pension cannot be less than the subsistence level ”(The statement lists seven more similar proposals).

The question arises: since 1993, Zyuganovites have been sitting in the State Duma of Russia for 27 years and constantly come up with similar proposals that the Russian parliament has not accepted. Why? Because the Zyuganovites, who call themselves Leninists, in reality do not want to heed the warning of V.I. Lenin on "parliamentary cretinism" under the rule of the bourgeoisie.

At the end of his article published in the February issue of Pravda, Zyuganov writes: “At the same time, we also abstained from voting against (the government of Mishustin - VB), believing that we need to give the new cabinet a chance to change the situation for the better.” That is, for many years, deputies from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation have not learned anything if they believe that the bourgeois government is able to improve the lives of ordinary people.

And all this despite the fact that the Communist Party has its own very significant experience. As you know, on March 15, 1996, the lower house, at the suggestion of Zyuganovites, despite Yeltsin’s warnings, adopted a resolution according to which the decision of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR of December 12, 1991 to denounce the Treaty on the Formation of the USSR was recognized as invalid. From this day on, the USSR was considered restored. But Yeltsin ignored this decision, telling reporters that at his order the ambassadors of the CIS countries were gathered, who were explained that this decision of the State Duma would have no consequences. So ingloriously ended the demagogic attempt of the false communists.

It should be noted that many Russians have not trusted Zyuganov for a long time, since he failed them in the same 1996, when, having gained the majority of votes in the presidential election, he transferred victory to Yeltsin without a fight.
