I'm 34 y.o. and I lived first 14 years of my life in Soviet Union. from my personal experience and from my parents' experience I can tell that it was far more fair and less corrupt society than we have currently in Russian Fed. Also current Communist Party of Russian Federation looks like the only real party except the ruling one. I have only two reasons against voting for them: 1 - they are still trying to idolize that monster Stalin and 2 - they are still called "communists" instead of changing the official name to social-democrats. But I understand that they have a heavy reasons for that: there are many people from generation of "old school communists" are still alive and among their supporters. After some time passes I belive they could get rid of those anachronisms.
