First of all, Russian leftists need to expand the base for support of
Communism beyond "platoons of pensioners"! I don't think they can
expand it while accommodating themselves to Putin, though. It seems
to me that Zyuganov ain't smart or ambitious enough to use Putin for
his social-democratic purpose. What's happening is the other way
around, most likely.
