On this day 35 years ago, the CPSU was banned in the country

The decree banning the CPSU on November 6, 1991 was signed by Boris Yeltsin.

And that's where the party's story ends.

Many political scientists note that the CPRF is not the heir to the CPSU, but a new party with a very strong element of Russian patriotism and Russian identity.

And it grew out of an essentially dissident movement within Gorbachev’s weakening party.

- The CPSU is good. Talk of “traitor Gorbachev” for the poor.

Mikhail Sergeyevich is a natural result of the development of the party, its ideal product.

An illiterate vain intriguer, panicked about making decisions, who himself does not believe in the crackling propaganda formulas he pronounces - and who else the system could bring to the very top, said the famous Russian political scientist Yevgeny Minchenko.

The events of those days can be treated differently. Experience today suggests that there was another “color revolution” according to the usual method. The difference is that it occurred on 1/6 of the land, in a multi-million and multi-ethnic country. Karelia at that time did not know how to react to what was happening. We decided to wait until it all ends: thousands of demonstrations for preservation did not happen.
