The Communist Party of the Russian Federative Soviet Socialist Republic ( CP RSFSR ) was the branch of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) in the Russian Soviet Socialist Republic .

founding

Contrary to the custom that every Soviet republic had its own national organization within the CPSU, the Russian Soviet Republic did not have its own party structures until the 1980s, even though 58% of all members of the CPSU lived in the Russian Soviet Republic at the end of the 1980s.

The Communist Party of the RFSFR was founded on June 19, 1990 and at that time formed a center of the left opposition within the CPSU against the policies of Mikhail Gorbachev . On August 25, 1991, after the failure of the August 19 coup, Boris Yeltsin, President of the Russian Soviet Republic , signed an order banning the CP RSFSR and confiscating all of its property.

Transition to the KPdRF

On February 14, 1993, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation was formally founded at the "Second Party Congress" and declared to be the successor to the Communist Party of the RSFSR.

The new party was led by Gennady Zyuganov , the former chief ideologist of the Communist Party of the RSFSR and a member of the Secretariat of the Communist Party of the RSFSR.
