the come back of communism in russia

[Jehan]

Seems that the communist party get decent result in some poll and became the second party in russia. It seems they give up on some "communist point" but still they are there.
Can some locals tell us if it's serious or no?
Have they a chance to win or not?

It seems they had not enough. There are also communist parties in western Slavic countries, but noone is taking them serious and there is no chance they would ever rule the country, people had enough being 50 years behind the advanced world.

They'd have solid chances if there were fair elections. As it is, I don't think any opposing force can ever win such "elections".

Congrats. You've just become much more free and independent.

The Putinites trampled on the liberals, but did not take into account a small detail. They were convinced that there was a kind of enmity between liberals and communists. They do not know that, for example, in the holy west, in the same USA, communists and liberals are essentially the same thing (the notorious SJW), so Navalny's audience, after the defeat of their idol, asked on reddit where to go and on reddit they were told, that the communists are "fashionable now." Now the electorate of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation has skyrocketed at the expense of Navalny's soyboys. Funny, but true ...
But the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is not at all the same USSR as with delicious ice cream and victory over Hitler! Zyuganov is generally extremely Orthodox!
In any case, the communists are not very promising. And after their ties with pro-Western liberals, after refusing to accept amendments to the constitution and make the country a little more sovereign, after the participation of some party representatives in Russophobic events such as the forum of municipal deputies of Open Russia, after the split of opinions on Crimea in a number of pro-Western organizations such as the Left Front, after the holy shit like Rashkin, etc.
Their spin doctors have made too many mistakes lately, which has led to reputational losses.
