Cassette scandal in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation - Zyuganov is sent to retire
Gennady Zyuganov will not be re-elected as leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) at its congress on April 24. LDPR leader Vladimir Zhirinovsky announced this in the State Duma on Wednesday, according to a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“We are glad they are having a congress soon. A new leader will be elected, probably Afonin. Although Gennady Andreevich will be recommended. But I talked to him, he will recuse himself. And there will be a new program - building socialism on Sakhalin Island. They will build it. “God Save the Tsar” will be performed in the morning, “Wide is My Native Country” at lunchtime, and “The Internationale” in the evening. Fish for lunch, and exercise in the ocean in the morning. We are happy that the dream will finally come true, and such a society will be built on Sakhalin in 41. For now, we’ll help so that there is no discord at the congress, maybe post security. Maybe Gennady Andreevich will want him to be elected after all. Today this is the banner of the communists, higher than Marx and Engels, and Lenin, and Stalin combined. We wish you success,” Zhirinovsky said.
Zyuganov responded rudely to Zhirinovsky, advising him to mind the affairs of his party.
“As for today’s statement by Zhirinovsky about supposedly possible changes in the leadership of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, I will say the following. The leadership of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation will be elected at the congress by delegates from regional branches by secret ballot. Unlike a Fuhrer-type party, which is the LDPR, in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation the will of party members is mandatory. The spring exacerbation, which everyone notices in Zhirinovsky every time, has obviously entered an active phase. Hence the not entirely adequate statement regarding the leadership of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation,” Zyuganov wrote in his Telegram channel.
However, only the lazy have not spoken lately about the fact that a split is raging in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. In addition to Afonin, a candidate for the position of party leader is Muscovite Valery Rashkin, who has recently been actively working with liberal media, openly declaring his support for criminal blogger Alexei Navalny.
A recording of Rashkin’s conversation with the former governor of the Irkutsk region, communist Sergei Levchenko, made in 2017, appeared in the media. Levchenko tells Rashkin that he hopes for his arrival because the party is “degrading” due to “giveaways, manipulation and manipulation.” In his opinion, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation needs to be turned “in a more radical” direction, which Afonin is “in principle incapable of.”
The conspirators agree to find incriminating evidence on Afonin, who allegedly “accumulated real estate in Moscow.” For this, “when hour X comes,” they decide to use Navalny. They are going to look for workarounds for the blogger so that he doesn’t leak that fellow party members are digging under Afonin.
According to Rashkin and Levchenko, Zyuganov is not so enamored with Afonin and will “surrender” him as soon as he senses danger.
“This episode shows Navalny as a servant of those who give money for internal squabbles, and highlights the current communists very brightly and in an unsightly light,” wrote presenter Tina Kandelaki on her Telegram channel.
Rashkin himself flatly refused to comment on the “leak” when journalists asked him about it.
