The leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Gennady Zyuganov said that the previous elections to the State Duma were accompanied by a "tightening of the screws" in politics.
This was stated in Zyuganov's report prepared for the November plenum of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.
"The ruling circles chose an evil strategy. They followed the path of prohibitions and "tightening the screws" in internal politics. The unifying idea of protecting national interests was stubbornly replaced by the party split of the rating of United Russia. A multi-level special operation developed. In the guise of the president he was a pressorioti, closed into it. The ruling class has shown reluctance to implement changes that are long overdue," the communist said.
Paradox: A man who goes every year to lay flowers on Stalin's grave complains about "tighten the screws".
