Russia's Zyuganov Warns of Political Crisis in AutumnRussian Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov warned Wednesday that the country will face a political crisis in the autumn, the Interfax news agency reported.Contrary to the declarations of the current authorities about a strong state, Zyuganov said, Russia is increasingly moving toward a right-wing liberal, pro-American economy. "We see that a stubborn covert struggle is underway at the top, which may develop into strong confrontation in autumn," Interfax quoted Zyuganov as saying at a meeting with editors of several regional left-wing opposition publications. "A contradictory situation is evolving in the country. On the one hand, the authorities proclaim ideas that we have advocated for 10 years and have won support from the overwhelming majority of the population. On the other, a right-wing liberal,pro-American line is evolving in the economy and an offensive is underway against the social rights of working people, which aggravates social tension," Zyuganov said. |
