This includes nationalization of natural resources, agriculture, and large industries. -It draws support from a lot of people who are hostile to political and economic changes since 1980s -The CPRF has done consistently well since 1993 elections. It captured 10% seats in Duma 1993 election and one-third of the seats in 1995. -Today still remains the second-largest party in the Duma after United Russia. The CRPF's head Gennady Zyuganov has come in second in every presidential election since 1996 (even when he had less than 20% of the votes). -The CPRF is different from other post-communist parties in Europe.
