Analyses of the Present Situation in Russia

By Nina Andreeva

All Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks

The observed and prolonged financial, economic and political crisis in Russia is a crisis of the restoration of capitalism. The policies and politics of Yeltsin and his regime of economic reform and market economy discredited itself fully amongst wide masses of the population of our country. The attempt of the present regime to find an answer and road by changing the political figures in the Government, forceful structures, and by utilizing the method of economic and political dictatorship, will absolutely fail. (Economic dictatorship - in part, attempting to force more from the majority of people, and the small businessmen - "here today and gone tomorrow tent bazaar businesses" etc. etc. Political dictatorship - is in fact not the slogan of democracy as is being propagated, hampering the opposition, terminating political speeches and gatherings, arresting the leadership of workers and strike committees, more and more using jail methods when they disperse meetings, pickets and sit-ins etc. etc., plus hampering and closing of the opposition press by being forced to go bankrupt due to newsprint and printing sabotage.)

Because there is weaknesses at the "centre", the growing tendency in outside districts of the country for separate governing structures, brings out in these districts the growth of nomeclatura-mafiosi structures and nationalist elements; this is starting to be a great danger to the unity of Russia. Tens of billions of dollars, in this also the receiving of American dollars through the International Monetary Fund, all aimed to further proceed with economic market reforms in Russia" of course affect the country immensely. The present regime in Moscow is helpless to stop this process even if it wanted to. Russia, on the brink of disaster, pulls along all the capitalist countries, to which it was "tied" by the "democrats". The "free world" itself is suffering and leering from this world financial crisis, which encompasses one region after another. In this way the attempt to "help Russia to institute democratic reforms" is not succeeding.

It is for certain that today the only section of society that is supporting and benefitting from this chaos are the supporters of the Yeltsin regime - these are well-paid cliques of traitorous generals, the corrupted leadership of Internal Security, militia structures, other punitive governmental military structures of the present regime.

The parliamentary opposition, headed by revisionists, again demonstrated its non-effectiveness and in this manner compromised itself by cooperating fully with the present regime. As an example, some of the latest pronouncements by Gennady Zyuganov to the Russian media.

"...We are all interested that everything that the Government now proposes should be agreed upon." (?!)

The utilization by the revisionists of revolutionary slogans only serves to fall down off the correct road some of the naive population, brings confusion into their minds, and it deepens the crisis inside the communist movements.

The economic factor in the first place is the generator which keeps the mass protests growing, the geography of which is constantly going wider and wider in Russia.

This is helped by the ever-higher prices for goods, inflation, the ever-worsening daily situation of the majority of the population. This is especially extremely hard on the children and elderly people. The calls for mass protests and demonstrations, organized by trade unions and opposition leaders, which they agree upon around "a round table" together with the Government who promote and publicize these actions in the mass media (such as the action planned for October 7th of this year). And, we ask, what kind of "opposition" is this, if it is cooperating and fulfilling these actions on behalf of the present regime? It is meant only to have these actions act as "letting off steam" by the population from this boiling kettle, to manipulate the masses by this section of the opposition. What kind of opposition is this that completely fulfills the plans of the regime? A revolutionary situation has not yet manifested itself in Russia. The communist movement as yet unfortunately has not managed to have very close ties with the working class. The main opposition party is the one that is headed by Victor Anpilov, revolutionary in words, but he is still hoping that the parliamentary road is the road towards getting more seats in the Russian Duma. It is the same as Parliamentary cretinism. The only correct and trustworthy instrument of the proletarian state - Bolshevized Soviets - practically are not active. The mass media scares the people with civil war, inserting anti-communist psychology day-in day-out.

Our analyses of the developing situation shows a tendency of further social unrest in society, which can bring about a regime of fascist dictatorship.

To save the present regime of mafiosi corrupted structures, at any moment General Lebed can be called upon, having the support of NTS-section affiliated with the CIA. General Lebed, who in the words of Gorbachev, is like "an armored train which now stands on a siding in reserve"...

Our party, the All Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks, at the moment proceeds on its main task of wide propaganda amongst all sections of the population, in order to realistically try to Bolshevize the Communist movements, by giving a helping hand to regions and territories where strike committees are being set up, where protest committees are being set up in all enterprises and factories and to transform them into dedicated existing Soviets - organs of the state of proletarian dictatorship.

Our party aims - all sided help to opposition parties and movements, demonstrations and pickets, the most wide and all-encompassing agitation work amongst all sections of the people.

The developing situation in Russia again demonstrates our previous prognosis, that to restore capitalism in our country, upon people who lived under socialism - is historically impossible.

The future, no matter how hard the situation is at the present, is for social progress - for Socialism!

P.S In the telephone conversation with the Editor of NSC, Nina Andreeva pointed out that Yeltsin-Primakov and Zyuganov cooperation produced a new Government that is composed practically entirely of members who were hand-picked by Gorbachev to institute "perestroika" which then became the downfall of the Soviet Union.

How could Zyuganov and the CPRF have agreed to such composition? The answer is very simple! Gorbachev also had Zyuganov in the ranks of he "perestroika" team which saw the temporary demise of the USSR!
