Russian local elections ended with unprecedented defeat of the Russian Communist Party (Figure)

　　China, Oct. 13 (Xinhua) According to the newspaper newspaper quoted by Russian New Network, the legislative council elections in various regions of Russia ended with the unprecedented failure of Russian communist party. The Communist Party of Russia lost two seats in five regional legislative assemblies. The Russian Communist Party believes that the Russian authorities have begun to implement the policy of excluding communist party people from legitimate politics.

　　On Sunday, elections for regional legislative assemblies were held in Sakhalin, Irkutsk, Kemerovo, Transbaikal Territory and Chechen Republic. In five regional elections, the "United Russia" party won a total victory, while communist party, Russia, unexpectedly suffered a crushing defeat. The All-Russia Party won the overwhelming majority of seats in the legislative assemblies of the above five federal entities, while the Russian Communist Party did not even get a seat in Kemerovo and the Chechen Republic.

　　In these two federal entities, the United Russia Party won more than 80% of the votes. Then, unlike the Duma election, the Russian Communist Party failed to keep the second place, but was robbed of the runner-up position by the "Just Russia" party. The final result was that the Russian Communist Party suffered "Waterloo" in Kemerovo and the Chechen Republic-not even a seat was saved. However, the turnout rate in other regional legislative assembly elections is 13% (Outer Baikal Territory) to 22% (Sakhalin State).

　　The defeat of the Russian Communist Party is unprecedented. Within the Russian Communist Party, Vadim Solovev, a member of the Duma, said that he was not surprised at this result. According to the newspaper, Solovev said, "Everything is moving in the opposite direction." The scandal in Kemerovo’s pre-election campaign was so extreme that zyuganov, leader of the Russian Communist Party, had to seek the support of Russian Prime Minister and Chairman of the United Russia Party last week. According to communist party sources, Putin agreed to call Kemerovo Governor Tuleyev. Within the Russian Communist Party, Tuleyev is regarded as the main person in charge of the election campaign. But Putin’s phone call didn’t play any role.

　　The Russian Communist Party believes that the results of the legislative elections in Kemerovo and Chechen Republic are the "stain" of the party. Solovev believes that "these signals are not only sent to the Russian Communist Party, but also to the whole society: the election committee and the regional government are completely obedient to the United Russia Party, and the election has become a farce. The opposition was completely wiped out, leaving only the Russian Communist Party. However, if this kind of election is held again, things like local elections in Chechnya and Kemerovo will probably happen again in Russia. " He also said that "the Russian authorities imitated the Soviet Union and communist party to establish a vertical leadership and management system".

　　He promised, "but we will still struggle, even though we are far from the authorities, just like a 12-year-old boy compared with the special forces." So this is a life-and-death struggle. " (thin horse)
