    would be extremely based

    KPRF is the second biggest party in the Duma, but only has 57 seats while United Russia has 315. I’m guessing this doesn’t pass.

      I’m guessing it won’t, but it’s good to see the discussion happening. KPRF has also been seeing a lot of gains of late, and these kinds of moves will only help them going forward.

      The CPRF is the largest opposition to United Russia, and has seen tens of thousands of new members year over year for the last few years. United Russia largely has the power it does because the nationalists kicked out the imperialists that plundered Russia during the dissolution of the soviet union, but public opinion is swaying more towards a reversion to socialism. This is a good sign, and if United Russia opposes this then that furthers support for the CPRF.
