The Communist Party of the Russian Federation supported the rebellion
The Communist Party of the Russian Federation supported the participants in today's riots in Moscow, blaming the lawlessness not on the supporters of Alexei Navalny who attacked the police cordons, but on the security forces.
This is stated in a statement by the Moscow branch of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, which is headed by State Duma deputy Valery Rashkin, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The authorities, instead of listening to the voice of the people and starting a dialogue with people outraged by the injustice of their living arrangements, began to use force and harshly detain participants,” the document says.
The communists accuse the authorities of not allowing protests to take place, and therefore rallies have to be organized illegally.
“The Communist Party of the Russian Federation strongly condemns police brutality and the lawlessness committed by the authorities. We strongly condemn any persecution for political reasons. We demand the release of hundreds of detainees and a stop fabricating administrative and criminal cases against ordinary protest participants,” say the authors of the appeal.
“At the same time, the communists appeal to the participants of the protests with an appeal not to succumb to the tricks in the game of two neoliberal groups, but to go out to class protest under the red banners. The next such action will take place exactly in a month, on February 23,” the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is announcing its own Maidan.
