What do you mean by CPRF controlled opposition? I’ve read on a communist subreddit (which of course is not very trustful) that the CPRF is revisionist because it believes in a mixed economy system similar to that of China or Vietnam, but that in my opinion is not revisionist and actually very good for current geopolitics.
I mean that while CPRF may look like an opposition, is not a treat to the capitalist order of contemporary Russia. When it comes to action, they have long abandoned class grounds or revolutionary thought and at first had simply capitalized on Soviet nostalgia. That did get *somewhat *changed fairly recently, when in 2018, after the increase of retirement age in RF led to mass protests and bottom push for a stronger opposition that focuses on social issues, and a lot of lower-ranking members have been using their power as deputies or region leaders like you’d expect from half-decent socdems, but that’s also the kind of people that got both attacked by state and party officials. To date CPRF successfully resisted several attempts to push the party leftwards, though there are still a lot of honest decent people among the lower-ranking members. Ofc that’s just my opinion I’ve formed watching Russian politics for the past 15 years, and I’m more interested in actions and dynamics than theory since politicians are typically all cock, but no cum.
