Some of this stuff, I think is pretty good, I would support it myself... Other things I feel indifferent about. But if this is what conservativism in Russia is, and if the communist party supports that then that also makes me understand why some people said they planned to vote for the KPRF.
Why should Russia become another USA clone, like Western Europe is and Eastern Europe is becoming. Also, I can't see how it matters to private citizens whether certain large Russian corporation are owned by the state, or by some oligarch who keeps the profits in a Swiss bank and is generally corrupt... What I definitely would not support, if I was Russian, was any type of revolutionary communism.
