XV Congress of the Communist Party of Russian Federation

Our Goal is the Victory of Socialism

Sitaram Yechury

135 fraternal delegates from 91 fraternal parties attended the 15th Congress of the Communist Party of Russian Federation (CPRF), held on February 23-24. It began amidst great enthusiasm and a high level of optimism markedly different from that seen in the recent past. The significantly improved showing of the CPRF in the last elections in the Duma (parliament), and its growing role in giving meaningful inputs to issues on national agenda, are to a large extent responsible for this justifiable feel of a sense of pride in being a communist in today's Russia. During the last two decades, the Communists in Russia have gone through many trials and tribulations. Against all odds and repression, they managed to reorganise themselves initially as an underground force and fought the way to acquire the status of a legitimate political party in post Soviet Russia. Since then, they have seen many an ebb and tide in their activities and acceptance by the people. Over the years, through sheer hard work and a public display of steadfast commitment to the Russian nation and increased prosperity of its people, they have today emerged as the second largest political force and a recognised parliamentary opposition in the country.

While battling through the immediate conditions in the country, the CPRF has been increasingly rallying a large number of people around its agenda of building a better Russia, which they never hesitate to add, is the prerequisite for the re-emergence of socialism in their country. This effort of the CPRF, it must be noted, has come in the background of a severe anti-communist propaganda that is sweeping across Europe, particularly in the countries of former socialist Eastern Europe. In many of these countries there are efforts to ban the communist parties, their affiliate organisations and deny them the universal and basic human rights and liberties. All across Europe, the effort is to legitimise the equation of communism with fascism, decrying both as being anti-human. In contrast, in Russia today, Joseph Stalin and the leadership that he provided to the Soviet Red Army and the Soviet people in the mighty victory against fascism is recollected with immense pride and accomplishment. Stalin today has emerged as one of the most powerful and popular figure in the country's history. To carry a portrait or a badge of Stalin in Moscow today has become synonymous with supreme patriotism and the commitment for the creation of a better Russia.

The discussions during the Congress reflected this national milieu. The accompanied high level of enthusiasm and optimism was all the more refreshing as a large number of youth not only participated in the discussion but were elected to the central committee and more importantly to the highest authority of the CPRF, it Presidium. The 15th Congress elected 180 members to the CC and 116 alternate members to the CC through a secret ballot. The CPRF can no longer be called a party of the retired or of the nostalgic. It has now assumed the character of the party of the future. However, how this will be translated into reality was the issue on which a large part of the discussions concentrated upon.

The Congress adopted a rather longish report presented by the Chairman of the Central committee Gennady Zyuganov who has been subsequently re-elected as the Chairman by the 15th Congress. For the first time after the dismantling of the USSR and the formation of the CPRF, this report was subjected to a pre-Congress party discussion in all party units and was thoroughly discussed in the Congress. In that sense the CPRF has now emerged as a truly organised communist party with grassroot level units and intermediate level committees leading up to the central committee and the party Congress. Following the demolition of the Soviet Union, in an atmosphere of widespread disillusionment and repression unleashed against communists, a band of committed communists around Comrade Zyuganov worked tireless braving all attacks to re-build the communist party. This 15th Congress, in a sense signalled a fair degree of success in achieving this as a consequence of the work done by this committed group of communists.

For the first time since the demise of the Soviet Union, the Russian communists received not inconsiderable media attention. The CPRF's programme for the rejuvenation of Russia as a powerful industrial nation is receiving largescale support. It must be noted that in the last two decades since the Soviet Union ceased to exist, there has not been a single megawatt of power generation that has been added. Likewise, the entire infrastructure from public transport to heating, so necessary for Russian winter, etc, remains the same as it was during the last days of the Soviet Union. This in itself is a telling testimony of the superiority of socialism. The CPRF's members of parliament today head many parliamentary committees that are mandated to lay down plans and proposals for the industrial resurgence of Russia. All in all, this 15th Congress marked a qualitatively positive shift in the position and role of the communists in contemporary Russia. In the immediate Russian context, the Congress put out a programme for the rejuvenation of the country under the slogan 'Russia demands a change'.

The Congress discussed various possibilities that currently Russia is pregnant with. Comrade Zyuganov's report describes this in the following: “There may be different outcomes to the current crisis for Russia. Below are some of the scenarios:

- the establishment of a repressive, openly dictatorial regime by oligarchic capital and still greater oppression of the masses;

- accelerated processes of disintegration of Russia with the participation of external forces;

- left-wing-patriotic forces coming to power by peaceful means through bourgeois-democratic procedures;

- a social revolution as a result of a nationwide crisis that breaks out regardless of the wishes of social classes, parties and leaders.

Our party will do everything to make our programme one for the salvation of the country so that Russia’s pivot to the left be consolidated by the formation of a government of popular trust.” The Congress drew up specific plans for the transformation of Russia through accelerated development into economic growth; for Russia, that will put an end to poverty and social degradation through a change in State priorities; for a cultural upsurge that will be an indispensable condition for the revival of Russia and for a Russia with strengthened national security that will have a new foreign and defence policy.

Reiterating its commitment to proletarian internationalism based on its commitment to revolutionary ideology of Marxism-Leninism, the report concludes by stating: “World development is dialectical. With the strengthening of the forces of progress and socialism new threats to the modern world are growing. Another aspect of dialectics is that the counter-offensive of imperialism is fraught with colossal danger, but at the same time it reveals its true nature and thus contributes to the growth of revolutionary struggles.

The world is experiencing massive economic, social, political and cultural changes. These changes will have far-reaching consequences. Their outcome would depend on the actions of the entire front of the forces that oppose imperialism. Individual states and their ability to unite in pursuit of common goals will play a part. The degree of mobilisation of peoples to struggle for their sovereignty and independence will be important. The struggle of the working class and other proletarian strata for their rights will be highly significant. The balance of forces that will take shape as a result of all this will determine the future of mankind.

New vistas are opening up for the champions of socialism. The complex and contradictory situation demands from us, Communists, a profound theoretical analysis, energetic practical actions and an unerring approach to choosing the forms and methods of struggle.

The CPRF has developed and presented to society a comprehensive programme for taking Russia out of the crisis. It reflects the interests of the absolute majority of citizens. Increased support for the party in elections held in recent years means that the voters trust our position. The future activities of the CPRF will be connected with propaganda and popularisation of our programme in attempting to rally the broad masses to support it. The masses must take a conscious, persistent and creative role in the building of a new society. Following that rule, the CPRF is helping the country’s workers to understand the need for replacing capitalism and encourages them to self-organise and join class struggle.

Capitalism is dangerous. Humanity’s need to get rid of it is becoming ever more urgent. “Socialism or barbarism” – this is an increasingly stark choice.

We Communists have no right to lose that battle. Our policy is the policy of the majority. Our goal is the victory of Socialism.

The leader of the Communist Party, to form and timely modernization of its political program of the party regularly participates in international forums and meetings, actively cooperating with all the communist and left-wing parties in the world.

Pravda Centenary Celebrations Begin

 Centenary celebrations of Pravda, first Russian working class daily, started by Lenin on 5th may  in 1912, are more about rededication than nostalgia and celebrating. Not surprisingly two day celebrations began in Moscow on a distinctly solemn note with representatives from fraternal communist press visiting and paying tributes at Unknown Soldiers tomb. Here they were joined by hundred's of Red flag carrying people, both young and old, led by Zuganov, the President of Communist party of Russian Federation (CPRF). Communist members in Duma were also present in dozens. Zuganov led paying tribute at memorial of legendry Marshal Zukanov, who is considered to be military architect of the then Soviet Union's victory in great patriotic war. Subsequently delegations of communist press paid tribute at Unknown Soldiers tomb. These memorials are situated in heart of Moscow, very close to Red Square and Lenin's mausoleum. Unknown Soldiers tomb salutes sacrifices of those soldiers in Great Patriotic War, whose names may remain unrecorded otherwise.

 Delegates from around 30 major communist publications from different countries, including some of erstwhile Soviet republics that gained independence with collapse of the then Soviet Union and socialist China, Vietnam, Cuba and D P R K as well as Laos, are also participating. CPI(M) central committee organs, People's Democracy and Loklahar (Hindi) are represented by Rajendra Sharma, Associate Editor of Loklahar. Shameem Faizee is representing CPI organs.

An interactive meeting with Pravda editorial board, before the first day's main celebratory event, at House of Unions (also called House of Pillars) brought out significant aspects of situation of Russia today and role that Pravda is trying to play as an instrument of communist movement, to change these circumstances. Boris O Komotskiy, Editor in Chief of Pravda welcoming the delegations said, 'it appears that days of 20yrs back have arrived again.' reasercher and known author, Yuiry Yemelianov also contributed to the interaction lasting two and half hours. Programme ended with cutting of a special cake with Pravda hundred years inscribed on it.

CPI(M) Greets Pravda & CPRF

The following is the text of the greetings sent by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) to the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Russian Federation and to the Editorial Board of the Pravda on May 2, 2012. CC member, Associate editor, Loklehar, Rajendra Sharma is representing CPI(M) in these celebrations.

DEAR Comrades,

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) greets the Editorial Board of the Pravda and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Russian Federation (CPRF) on the centenary of the Pravda.

As Lenin had defined, a communist newspaper along with its 'exposure' of the ills and limitations of the present social system, should be a collective agitator, collective propagandist and a collective organiser. Pravda, a newspaper started by the outstanding communist leader Lenin, was run by him on these lines and became a model for all the other newspapers started for the socialist cause.

Indian Communists too, learning from the Russian experience, had started and ran many newspapers in the vernacular languages to expose the British rule, rouse the people into popular movements and also propagate the ideals of social justice.

Apart from the many vernacular dailies, that are continuing in the post-independent era, the CPI (M) is bringing out the weekly People’s Democracy, the official organ of the Party and Loklehar in Hindi, since the last 40 years. These organs are helping the Party to resist the ideological offensive of the ruling classes and to strengthen the Party.

In the background of the global economic crisis, the most severest since the Great Depression of the 1930s, there is all the more a necessity for the newspapers of the type envisioned by Lenin. The increasing struggles worldwide show the  growing discontent among the people. They are searching for alternatives. It is thus imperative upon us, the Communists and the media run by us to place before the people the correct path for bringing an end to their travails and exploitation. The newspapers help us in strengthening the 'subjective factor', as Lenin called it, to utilise the condusive objective factors for transforming the society – establishing a socialist system.

Once again, we extend our warm greetings to all of you, and also thank you for inviting our representative to be present with you and share thoughts on this august occasion.

The Soviet Union, the Soviet people, the Communists, Stalin not only defeated Nazism - they save civilization

Speech by President of the Central Committee of the Communist Party GA Zyuganov at a meeting on May 9 in Moscow

According to news reports, about 100,000 people took part in the festivities organized by the Communist Party and the people's patriotic forces in Moscow.

The rally was inaugurated on the execution of the song "Holy War". Then the participants of the rally, the Chairman of the CC CPRF GA Zyuganov.

Addressed a crowd of Communist leader. Today we celebrate not just a round figure, we pay tribute to the great historic feat of the Soviet country and its people, who went off to war the best sons and daughters and won this victory. Today we pay tribute to the great feat of Communists, rallied the people. Every second Communist lay on the battlefield. Today we celebrate the triumph of the great Soviet power, which proved stronger than all of Hitler's hordes. This is a celebration of spirit and strength of

mind. Under the Moscow and Stalingrad, in the Orel-Kursk and near Berlin, we were fighting not just against the Nazis, we fought against those who tried to enslave the entire world.

Our victory is priceless - stressed GA Zyuganov - because we have saved not only himself, the great Russian people and all our sister nations, we have saved all of Europe.

"Fascists, by breaking our open spaces, - continued the leader of the Communist Party - the first time in history set the task not merely to defeat the Soviet country, but, in essence, to destroy the great Russian people and tear the historic brotherhood of 130 nations and nationalities that we have gathered under its banner . Our country - the Soviet Union, the Communist Party, Generalissimo Stalin not only defeated, they saved civilization, and this historic feat of our people will remain for centuries.

But no sooner die down victory volleys - stressed GA Zyuganov - as again went to war against us our former "allies". They re-united against the Soviet Union. Listen to what he wrote in a 45-meter-known spy, Dulles: "We will prove that the Soviet Union - is as much a villain as Nazi Germany. We will do everything to loggerheads peoples inhabiting the Soviet Union.

Today, before the great memory of the fallen heroes, I want to remind you the real story, which strongly hide the current Russian authorities - said the leader of the Communists. - - Let's see how fought our "allies". A few months after the outbreak of WWII, the British were on the verge of surrender. And they saved only by a miracle.

As for France, she gave Hitler for 44 days. In fact, surrendered without a fight in Paris and the French president and prime minister after the war, the Supreme Court sentenced him to death.

- I appeal to young people - said GA Zyuganov: Do you have something to be proud of. You live in a unique, wonderful country. smashed the Teutonic Knights at Lake Chud, we coped with the Horde on the Kulikovo field, we have divided the French at Borodino, we kicked the Entente during the Civil War and saved the world from the fascist plague.

Today, when talking about the price of victory, I want to remind you: the Americans have lost 260,000, they are not accustomed to die for their country.

The British lost 380,000.

We have lost almost 27 million, of which 17 million - Russian.

In the First World War and the civil we lost 10 million people. And the current "reforms" that have become the destruction of the country, cost us 15 million, of which 14 million Russian. Thus, our country has lost almost 50 million over a hundred years. But we live under, and must look towards the future. To do this, we have everything you need.

- Said the leader of the Communist Party. - - We are a thousand years of history 700 years spent in battles and campaigns, otbivshis of all villains. But today we live in another country. The Great Victory was betrayed by the Gorbachev-Yeltsin clique of. The Great Victory was torn to pieces, when the Soviet Union was divided into parts of new vampires, greedily for power and property.

Today we watched a wonderful parade, which showcased the remnants of Soviet military power. And I told the gentlemen of the "United Russia": all 127 planes and helicopters that flew over Red Square - a product of the USSR, are products of the Soviet Union, from you there is not even paint! All the equipment, which was the cobblestones of Red Square - a product of the great Soviet era!

We have something to be proud of - continued GA Zyuganov - we have with you a great story. the banners of the victorious soldiers had written: "For us, the Soviet Motherland!" We will return the Soviet regime, we will do everything to the 70 anniversary of the victory mark in the revival of the country - our new Union!

I am very pleased - said the head of the Communist Party - that to us for the holiday arrived and the president of Ukraine, and the president of Belarus.

We must strengthen the relationship of the Slavic peoples of the kernel, without which there can be no future nor the Russian nor the Ukrainians, or the Belarusians. Our common future can be only when we are faithful to the Banner of Victory, the Soviet government.

And today, when our victory is a terrible rebound, we should remember Stalin's famous order: "Not one step back!"

His performance as leader of the Communist Party concluded its appeal to those who care about the fate of the Fatherland:

"Long live the young, true to the banner of Victory!

Long live the working class, farmers, engineers and intellectuals - the main ridge of the invincibility of our country!

Long live the great Generalissimo Stalin!

Long live the people, the winner!

Under the Banner of Victory - forward to socialism! "

"I assure you, my friends, that is worse than the privatization of the early 90's and monetization together, due to the fact that the sale shall be made whole social sector, universities, schools, health and cultural institutions. means that destroys the genotype of the Russian people, who always had a high collectivism and spirituality, who always knew how to work together and fight.

Speech by President of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, GA Zyuganov at a rally on November 7 in Moscow.

Dear friends

The twentieth century - a century of the Great October Revolution, the age of Lenin and Stalin. This is the century of the Soviet Union and our Great Victory in May 45 th!

In the twentieth century was born a real social justice, and our country first broke into the Cosmos. We have created strategic nuclear parity and have protected the planet from nuclear war. But as soon as our leaders have betrayed the ideals of the October Revolution, Friendship of Peoples and Justice, the disaster. Over the past twenty years under Vlasov's flag country has not achieved a single victory. And the authorities have made some terrible crimes.

The crime of the first associated with the loss of great power and vast territories, which we collected nearly a thousand years.

The crime of the second - the destruction of 70 thousand enterprises and entire industries, without which we have no future.

The crime of the third due to the loss of security and defense. Since Peter the Great nearly three hundred years, we have a great military power, and now leading a wretched existence.

Next crime - is the loss of social achievements, which gave the Great October Revolution, from the universal and free education to secure old age.

We believe that one of the most serious crimes is the dismemberment of the Russian people and the loss of the ideals for which we fought for hundreds of years.

Charges for these crimes formally charged the current authorities at the last plenum of the Central Committee. believe that the course which was held for twenty years, should be recognized as criminal and illegal. his conduct of the citizens to give their consent. March 1991 a referendum the people entrusted to preserve a Union government and protect the socialist homeland.

Today, the situation for our country is becoming increasingly complicated. The crisis has highlighted the flaws of the current bandit-capitalist system, which has no future. Two previous global crisis ended two world wars. In the first case, our country saved the Great October Revolution, and the second - victory in May 45 th.

the planet is writhing in agony. Nearly 200 countries fall into the abyss of the crisis, and only 12 states, led by socialist China, showing growth on the basis of the current year. China, the growth rate of 6-8%, followed by the socialist Vietnam - 6%, and more brotherly Belarus. Regarding the so-called Western democracies, then they fall on all counts. But in the deepest hole was Russia. She dragged there personnel stubs of Yeltsin's team, which picked Putin. have a decline in GDP - 11%, industrial production - 16% of the light and textile industry - 26% of manufacturing - 21%. Stopped almost all conveyors and blast furnaces. Today, the country's 8 million unemployed, and at the end of the year will be 10 million. Therefore, we believe that this course is a criminal and should be revised.

The current composition of the government is unable to solve the challenges it faces. Even President Medvedev recently was forced to admit that the country has come to a complete standstill, that the comprador bourgeoisie does not want to produce products and develop production. It trades in raw materials and imported products. on our shelves 80% of foreign consumer goods. We go to Chinese pants, smell, Dutch flowers, eat Turkish apples. And our producers thrown out of the economic relations. State even bread can not buy from the peasants.

We believe that those who in the government led by key sectors, should resign. a new budget represents Kudrin, who last year claimed that everything will be fine, but Russia will remain a safe haven. Actually profukali $ 200 billion, almost a third of the gold stocks.

Russia's economy led the group "liberals", who continue to believe that only the free market will adjust everything. Armed Forces, military industry, defense order disposes of the "general tubaretkin" who does not understand anything in military affairs, and not even the commander of the battalion. of Education Fursenko brought us "woman-egeyku" actually ruined classical Russian and Soviet school.

We offer a country other policies related to Creatrix under the light of the ideas of the Great October Revolution. Its essence is this: we can now accumulate huge amounts of money for the revival of production, social programs, free education and healthcare. To do this in the near future to hold a referendum on the nationalization of the mineral resource base. will belong to the people, all must receive the income from what we mine, and not only 15 of oligarchic clans.
