Nov 17 (Interfax) - The current situation in Russia is >"complex and contradictory," Gennady Zyuganov, leader of the Russian >Communist faction in the State Duma, has said. > "A bitter struggle is underway in the Kremlin, government and State >Duma between advocates of the old destructive course and of new state- >patriotic policy," Zyuganov said at a meeting with a Cuban National >Assembly of People's Power delegation led by speaker Ricardo Alarcon de >Quesada, the press service for the Russian Communist party has reported. > Zyuganov said during the meeting that the Russian Communist party >and the people-patriotic forces in general proceed from the following >principle in assessing the executive power's activity: "to support >everything useful for the people and the state and to staunchly oppose >everything destructive and harmful to the working man's interests," the >press service said. > "The public sometimes feels that President [Vladimir] Putin is >ready to reject the old course, but, in pursuing wise measures, reveals >indecisiveness and sluggishness," Zyuganov said. > The leftist opposition is concerned over the fact that "the widely >publicized crusade against the oligarchs is in fact being reduced to a >mere replacement of the old with the new," Zyuganov said. "There is not >much difference between the devil and the deep blue sea when it turns >out that the authorities lure Abramovich, Chubais or Mamut in place of >Berezovsky," he said. > Touching on Putin's upcoming visit to Cuba, Zyuganov told the >guests that during a recent meeting with Putin he recommended that the >president pay attention to "how reforms in Cuba are being carried out in >the face of difficult external conditions and what success it has >achieved in key spheres of its economy." > >Miroslav Antic, >http://www.antic.org/SNN/ > > >______________________________________________________________________ >To unsubscribe, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > _______________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
