MOSCOW, January 30 (Itar-Tass) - Russian Communists, in protest against the resolution denouncing Communist totalitarian regimes, adopted by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, are seeking to retaliate with a memorandum condemning capitalism's record of the past five hundred years, Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov told a news conference on Monday.
The document will be adopted at an international conference of leftist and Communist parties in Moscow later this year, he said.
The draft is almost ready. Last Saturday, it was coordinated by 16 parties from CIS states. "It's a memorandum on crimes committed by liberal capitalist and fascist regimes which have flooded all the continents with blood over 500 years," he said.
Capitalism is 400 years older than Communism, Zyuganov added.
He promised that the Communist parties of European countries and the world will present "their own claim" to capitalism by naming the crimes, including those proven and denounced by the UN and leading international organizations. "The report will be very substantial," the Communist leader said.
He is convinced that Russia dealt with its totalitarian past in full measure. At the 20th Congress in 1956, "the Party and people promised that it would never happen."
It was a sufficient inoculation or "pill" - as Zyuganov put it - from totalitarianism.
Zyuganov said he was planning to see "The Inner Circle," a film after Alexander Solzhenitsin's novel about Soviet-era hardships, which the Rossiya channel began to show on Sunday.
Already the first part of the film points to the attempt to make Russians reject a whole historic period with all the spiritual and moral values it contained. "It doesn't work for the good of Russia," he said.
Being a peasant and getting taken out and shot when you're no longer convenient to the state must appeal to some people because they just keep asking for more.
Yeah, well that's going to get a lot of traction...
LMAO! These guy are a riot... almost as bad as our Democrats, and totally oblivious to everything going on around them.
Its nice to know that they have to do this at their own convention; they don't have the power to get this passed in the Duma.
Any system without God, without freedom, is tango uniform. Commies can't seem to digest such a simple meal...
They have lived off us for far too long. They now have delusions of grandeur.
They might as well pass a resolution that the Earth is a cube... Dumb and dumber...

Leave to the Russians to rally around the govt that killed 100 million in the last century and berate the system that put man on the moon.

Interesting, you blaspheme your soul-mate Zyuganov. After all, he quotes "Zavtra" just like you do. BTW, it was Soviets who killed those people. Ask around. This is getting a bit "me thinks thou doth protest too much" spanalot. What are you hiding?
Oh well, its their time and money. Have at it.
Wow, this just reminds me that we're an election away from this type of Lord of the Flies mentality. I seriously worry about our country's fate simply because the commies are in control of what is deemed to be "the press".
Until the communists and the democrat party are fully unmasked and exposed to the public, we've still got a war on our hands. And its on our own soil against our own press and our own educational system and many (democrats) in our own government.
The alarm is ringing. Everyone needs to pay attention!
This is a non-news item. The Russian communist party is kaput and the only time they get attention is at things like these. I'm surprised Zyuganov hasn't taken a page out of Sheehan's book and started camping outside the Kremlin.
Which make up less then 14% of the Duma. Bet you can find 14% of Congress and the US population (democrats) who also agree....it doesn't hurt their cause when you push their newspaper Zavtra and its Tymniki.
Boy you two are working overtime whitwashing all these problems in Russia.
You seem to be bragging that the Commies still own Belorus and that they run a big part of the Russian legislature. If you include the socialist parties, its a majority.
Are you sure you two are americans?
Sell that claptrap to your handlers "spanalot". Tick, tick, tick, tick, that's the clock running down on your deception game....
Only you would call a party that the previous elections had 24% and now have 13% of the Duma as having a big part of the Duma. No one spins crap like you.
