Victory over fascism requires unity of patriotic forces! Statement of the Communist Party Faction in the State Duma In the current difficult times, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation continues to do everything to protect the Motherland. Thousands of communists and Komsomol members voluntarily joined the ranks of the Russian armed forces. 214 of our commissars died a brave death on the battlefield. For 12 years, the People's Patriotic Forces led by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation have sent 160 federal humanitarian convoys to support the warring Donbass and border regions of Russia. We offered the citizens a victory plan and a development budget. We have developed a draft fair labor code and a system of measures to support mothers and children. All this is extremely necessary to ensure the unity of the front and rear, approaching victory and safe movement forward. But the "fifth column" does not want peace, tranquility or important historical successes. Zealous officials in the silence of their offices do not hear the instructions of the head of state regarding maximum cohesion and friendly work for a common result. Instead, they exclude from the elections our friends, the leaders of public opinion Nikolai Bondarenko, Ivan Apostolevsky and Vladimir Godomarov. They draw inflated voting figures in several regions of the North Caucasus, the Volga region and central Russia. Searches and police raids are carried out in Altai territory and in the Liptsk region. ‼ Member of the Central Committee, First Secretary of Komi-Reskom of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, Deputy of the State Duma of the 8th Congress Oleg Mikhailov* was taken into custody on clearly unfounded charges. He is known far beyond the borders of his native republic as a brilliant politician, thoughtful researcher and accomplished environmental scientist. ‼ We are convinced that his persecution was honestly ordered. The Central Committee of the Party, the faction of the Communist Party in the State Duma, the broad front of the patriotic forces of the people in Russia see what happened as another attack on stability in our country.
