higher which results in their guaranteed getting richer – not immediately, but quick enough. The same is true in regards to small and middle-sized business. These processes are manifestation of the law of capitalist monopolization and concentration. There is yet another example more applicable to Russia: if there are closed stadiums, cinemas, fitness-clubs and other entertainment facilities, the manufacturers and sellers of vodka will grow richer. Russian state rather than use its reserve multibillion funds, stubbornly keeps looking after the interests of big capital and state officials. Many restrictive measures for all their expediency are still aimed not at protecting population against the disease, but rather at charging people huge fines and other levies. Let’s don’t forget about the bans on protest and indignation! One of the simple example to illustrate the above statement: retired persons are not banned to travel by public means of transport; they are denied their right to do it for free. Russian Communist Workers’ Party claims that it’s not possible to put up with such anti-popular politics any longer. We demand that the whole healthcare should be immediately nationalized. We demand that all special privileges for state officials and MPs should be banned. Healthcare is not a type of servicing; it’s an indispensable right of people rather than means to enrich new riches. The same goes in respect of pharmaceutical industry and drug sores’ networks.
deprived Russian United Labour Front its registration as 117 well. Thus, we can see that class organizations of workers have been cut off from taking part in public politic, from elections. Meanwhile the authorities support their “loyal opposition” - CPRF, that is basically our class adversary, as this party’s politics means fitting into parliamentary opposition of all dissatisfied with capitalism. All the activities of CPRF are limited to promises of “honest elections” and to dreams of possible victory in such elections and the creation of a “national trust government”. We should mention that this trend of classical opportunism, characteristic of Euroleft parties, is apparently well agreed with the ruling class. As early as in 2000 V.Putin in his interview for the book “In the first person” answered the correspondent’s question on the future fate of CPRF as follows: “communists are the only really big party with a substantial social base, still with some ideological bugs to be disposed of”. The correspondent asked him to clarify, what bugs exactly he meant, and Putin’s answer was “for example their demand of confiscation and redistribution”. Let alone the revolution and the proletarian dictatorship. Next Putin stressed again: “communists will either change their program, thus turning themselves into large left party of European type, or they’ll fail to do this and will gradually leave the political scene as they lose their social base, when their supporters will gradually die out of natural causes”. The correspondent inquires on: “Do communist leaders believe so themselves, don’t they?”
We call on people to call the criminal regime that Here Putin demonstrates his understanding of the has bled Russian healthcare white, to account. Both the government and the president responsible for situation: “their leaders understand this, howsoever this the criminal politics of introducing capitalism, should might seem unexpected, and they do get ready for the transformation.
