I've heard many people say they'll vote Putin till he's gone and then vote KPRF. Rally around the flag effect seems huge at the moment. Still there was one good aspect that stood out to me:
Communists delivered 26 million copies of their program across the country (for the first time not skipping a single subject) which the other candidates severely lacked, a win regardless of the electoral result.

Machine translation of Kharitonov's belief in its immediate implementation:
“Our program will make its way literally from tomorrow. In all regions, in all territories, it was received favorably, and people hope for its implementation. And we will implement it directly,” Kharitonov noted at a briefing on Sunday evening.
In his opinion, the current head of state, Vladimir Putin, has taken on enormous responsibility.
“If he wins, one can only wish for one thing: to justify the trust of his voters,” he emphasized, Rossiyskaya Gazeta reports.
Let us remind you that Putin is in the lead with 87.26% in the presidential elections based on the results of processing 60% of the protocols. Second place goes to Kharitonov, who received 4.18% of the votes.
He said that it was a good idea in principle to promote the indigenous languages and culture of the Soviet Republics (Ukrainianization) around 18:55. Im not saying he's a leftist, just that he's abandoned the vocal anti-communism.
KPRF critiqued his speech of February 2022 saying that it was Lenin who united the territories of the empire which were divided by local nationalists. What he said is similar and clarifies whether he believes Lenin made a mistake in shaping Ukraine vs just how things played out in the long run.
He said this time that the Soviet Union lived as a unified state with harmony between Russians and Ukrainians and the fault lied to the governments of Yeltsin, Gorbachev and himself for tearing off Ukraine from this shared space.
I agree.
She blocked me instantly after I replied to one of her posts that the US economy is not growing 3% thanks to Biden and US economic figures are misleading. She's supposedly "far-left".

The leader is very unpopular, his approval rating is currently 20% approval, 71% disapproval according to Morning Consult, reaching lows of 18% approval, 75% disapproval.
Also there have been strikes against neoliberalism, US robbing the country, anti-war protests and getting the president to resign. Ryomyong.com covers resistance to him. http://ryomyong.com/index.php?page=south
As for a SK communist party, there's http://pdp21.kr/ but it's small, there's also Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front which is an underground DPRK org in SK.
War is imminent but because of the south's provocations: https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/3188025
In the period from January to October this year alone, the puppet group of traitors committed more than 3 200 loudspeaker broadcasting provocations in the forefront area, more than 1 100 warships of the puppet army invaded the territorial waters of the DPRK for 1 270-odd times and reconnaissance planes intruded into the territorial air of the DPRK side over 150 times.
The U.S. nuclear carrier strike groups led by Nimitz, Ronald Reagan, etc., which carry the forces huge enough to carry out a full-scale war, made their appearances in the waters off the Korean peninsula three times.
The number of large-scale joint military drills, including Freedom Shield joint military exercises, Ssangyong joint landing drill and “combined joint fire annihilation drill”, staged by the U.S. in and around the Korean peninsula with Japan and the south Korean puppet forces in a bilateral and multilateral way as of now since the outset of this year, runs to over 60.
At present, U.S. nuclear strategic assets are deployed once every ten days and one warring side’s nuclear war drills precisely targeting the other side are staged once every five days in the area of the Korean peninsula. There is no such place on this planet..
The Iraqi Hezbollah brigades have officially announced their participation in the "Al-Aqsa Flood" operation. The military representative of the Iraqi Hezbollah brigades , Jafar Al Husseini, said that "the Americans are key accomplices in the deaths of the residents of the Gaza Strip and therefore they (the Americans) must bear responsibility for the consequences." He emphasized that the Iraqi Hezbollah brigades practically started the fight from today, with attacks on American bases. Information appeared on Telegram channels that Hezbollah drones attacked two American military bases in Syria at the same time: The al-Tanf base in the province of Homs and the facility at the Conoco field in Deir ez-Zor were hit.

Hezbollah calls for "day of rage" on Wednesday after hospital attack
Ukraine talks about territorial integrity and say that this is their land and the Russian-speaking majority should leave but ...
Recognizes Ichkeria (Chechnya, where no one is fighting for it lol) from Russia on the basis of "self-determination" at the expense of Russia's territorial integrity
Tend to support Kosovar "self-determination" against Serbia against their territorial sovereignty
Supports settlement of Palestinian land (recognized by 138 countries, 7 billion people)
Support Yaroslav Hunka who fought with the nazis for "self-determination" against Soviet territorial sovereignty
And then they support "Israeli territorial sovereignty" just like they support their own as the Slavic Israel.
Also the fact that they had options range from -3 ---> 3 is kind of annoying. Like anyone who voted +1 could still believe that Nazism is a threat. Neutral ratings are also concerning, it's like saying nazism in Ukraine is a 4/7.
Dual-citizenship between Russia and Ukriane isn't a thing. Everyone in Russian-controlled territory has Russian passports now. Since July 1st 2024, those still holding Ukrainian passports are considered foreign nationals and at risk of deportation.
