Zyuganov predicts a new revolution in Russia this fall.

Russian Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov has warned of a new revolution in Russia if the economic situation is not addressed soon.

Zyuganov addressed the latest State Duma session, commenting on the appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin by Monaco-based Russian blogger Victoria Bonya. The Communist Party leader was offended by the Kremlin's reaction. He claimed that when the Communists raised issues regarding the economy, Black Sea pollution near Anapa, and so on, the Kremlin remained silent. But when Bonya did so, they immediately responded.

Zyuganov also spoke about Russia's economic policy, which has "completely failed." He stated that if the situation isn't corrected soon, a revolution like "the one in 1917" could occur as early as this fall. The Communists warned the government and proposed stabilization measures, but they were ignored.

It's been said many times: the economy is bound to collapse. The first quarter was a complete disaster. If you don't take immediate financial, economic, and other measures, then in the fall we'll face what happened in 1917. We have no right to repeat that.

The communist leader recalled that in the lead-up to 1917, the government also failed to respond to problems in the economy and the military, which led to social unrest. Therefore, the authorities must heed the opposition's proposals.

I wonder where they quote Lenin about revolution when the elite can't? In my opinion, the elite can, and there's no revolutionary party.

Well, if anyone, then the leader of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation needs to know the conditions for the emergence of a revolutionary situation, which V.I. Lenin spoke about in his work "State and Revolution."
1 The top can't, the bottom doesn't want to.
2 The aggravation is significantly higher than the usual hardships and misfortunes of the common people.
3- the presence of an “organizing and guiding force,” that is, a revolutionary party capable of leading all of this.
On all three counts, there's no sign of a revolutionary situation. Those at the top are in charge, while those at the bottom are content to live. They are, admittedly, experiencing hardship. They don't know where to park their cars in the courtyard, because all the spaces are occupied by the cars of other such sufferers. It's also hard to believe that all this will be led by Navalny's fosterlings or the Chonsonettes who went through the school of life in Dom 2.
And there was no revolution, even in the 90s, when the country's GDP was shrinking by 20 percent per year, pittance wages were not paid for six months, and gang warfare was raging on the city streets.

Well, it’s not Zyuganov!

The revolution was paid for from abroad and carried out by corrupt generals. The November revolution was also paid for from abroad and carried out by émigrés. Who will pay and who will make the revolution in the fall?

Zyuganov is unfit to play Lenin: he's too dogmatic and inflexible. He can't formulate a coherent strategy or goals that are supported by the country's population. He's completely disconnected from the people. And Trotsky, who could directly carry out the revolution, is nowhere in sight under him.

Why is Gennady Andreyevich making such statements? Why is he rocking the boat? He seems like a wise, elderly politician. If in 1917 Russia miraculously survived, even though it had already been divided between Western Europe and the United States, then such upheavals now would spell certain collapse. We don't need that. We'd rather evolve, and let the revolutions happen in the United States, England, France, and our other "well-wishers."

Zyuganov's mummy prophesies... He would tell about the fabulous party career of his beloved grandson... A classic renegade and opportunist.

Gennady is predicting a lot. We'll see how he fares in the State Duma elections in September; he'll lose it again like plywood over Paris. The Communists have become a mere ragtag party led by a distinguished beekeeper. They've been as useless as a goat's milk lately. In short, they're just running on the down low. This ragtag party isn't a rival to the current government; they urgently need a new leader.

What do you think about the ZNS movement, comrades? I'm interested in your opinions.
From the wiki:
"For New Socialism" (FNS) is a social movement in Russia led by Russian opposition politician and former diplomat Nikolai Platoshkin.

The movement's goal is to restore renewed socialism in Russia through peaceful, legal means—elections and referendums. This renewed socialism is envisioned as a socialist social system preserving private ownership of the means of production, with state support for small and medium-sized businesses, full multi-party democracy and diversity of opinion, and a social-market and mixed economy.

Program
The movement's brief program (the "Minimum Program"—for implementation within the first year after coming to power) was published on January 29, 2019, under Platoshkin's signature. It went through several revisions and included, according to various sources, between 19 and 21 points.

Some ideas from the program:
real nationalization of natural resources, railway transport and energy supply;
cancellation of pension reform;
progressive income tax system - from 10 to 20%;
freezing tariffs of natural monopolies and housing and communal services tariffs for 2 years in order to combat inflation;
direct elections by the population of judges of district and regional courts;
facilitating the procedure for holding referendums and organizing rallies and demonstrations.
