Communist Party of the Russian Federation

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) is a Russian left-wing political party that presents itself as the successor to the Soviet Communist Party. Founded in 1993 after the CPSU was banned in Russia, it has long been one of the largest opposition parties in the country and traditionally holds the second-largest number of seats in the State Duma. The party opposes the market reforms of the 1990s, has been critical of the Kremlin's foreign policy including the war against Ukraine, and advocates expanded social guarantees. Its leader for decades was Gennady Zyuganov, who has repeatedly run for the Russian presidency.
