The KPRF has no oligarchs on its list; it has people connected to them on its list, as does everybody. Yukos has reps and/or money invested in the KPRF, Party of Right Forces and Yabloko, probably in other parties. That's because that is where the money is.
The KPRF is not a revolutionary party; they are reformist SocDems, as in Moldova. They are not radicals. Calling them "red-brown" e.g. is like, in the US, somebody on Freerepublic.com calling Cliinton a Communist. It's insane.
They haven't made a comeback in my opinion primarily because the people on power won't allow them to, and Zyuganov probably doesn't want to be president himself. They will though; it's only a matter of time.
-Chris, I understand your point, but, given how the USSR collapse hurt people (and I agree with you it did), why the KPRF didn´t make a comeback like his Moldovan counterpart. And why they now have oligarchs in their lists of candidates? What is happening in this country? Seems to be like mine where policies that are leading us to abyss are being more radicalized as more failure they achieve?
