Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] At the congress, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is going to call on Putin to rename Volgograd to Stalingrad. Putin has previously spoken out on this issue, pointing out that it is up to the city's residents to decide. Now the city is renamed Stalingrad several times a year for holidays and this year the city airport was named Stalingrad.
They also finally decided to review the results of the 20th Congress and recognize Khrushchev's report on Stalin as erroneous and politically biased.
In fact, Khrushchev's report was more than a mistake - it caused enormous damage to both the USSR and the entire socialist camp. In 2026, it will be 70 years since the 20th Congress. It's time to call a spade a spade.
More details from Boris Rozhin:
Communist Party of the Russian Federation officially condemned Khrushchev's report at the 20th Congress of the CPSU
Yesterday evening, after discussions, the CPRF officially recognized Khrushchev's report "On Stalin's Personality Cult" as a serious mistake.
Zyuganov in his speech called Khrushchev's report a crime against the peoples of the USSR.
Yes, all this is very late, of course, but better late than never. Khrushchev with his "de-Stalinization" campaign caused enormous damage to the USSR, the Soviet bloc and the international communist movement. One of the greatest ideological sabotage of the 20th century. It took our Communist Party 69 years to officially recognize this. Well, I repeat - "mistake" is putting it mildly. We are still dealing with many of the consequences of that policy.

Another noteworthy event was the presence at the congress of Kiriyenko, who oversees domestic policy and spoke at the podium with a portrait of Lenin. In addition to the protocol message from Putin, Kiriyenko in his speech noted the patriotic position of the CPRF in supporting the SVO and many years of work on delivering humanitarian aid to Donbass. Dozens of party members died at the front. The main message is the need for a stable rear to achieve victory in the war against Nazism.
He did not elaborate on the recent excrements of the Black Hundreds

Generally speaking, in the coming years, the participation/assistance of the army in the SVO will play a pressing role in matters of domestic policy and elections. The "SVO Participant" card is already in high demand among people who plan their political careers in advance (including by means of forgery). Accordingly, active assistance from the SVO for the CPRF may become a guarantee of improved results in the next elections.
