Zyuganov on Lenin

Extremely interesting !

Interesting that he suggests that America infiltrated the Russian Fed following the Soviet collapse by “putting in their people” (I believe were his words) and buying up Russian resources. I’ve long heard the opposite theory- that infact the States failed to do more in the wake of the fall of the union and therefore are paying a most bitter price (geopolitically speaking) today. Either way, history of this scale remains to be seen and will take many years before a proper, studied view of it can make clear observations.
I wish he had more directly answered the question regarding the success of Western European socialist parties vs. the lack thereof of the communist party in Russia.
