My point is not that CPC is not a communist party. Ma point is that KPRF isn't one. So KPRF's opinion about other party does not matter much in context of this conversation.
I came from Russia, St. Petersburg, and Putin does support KPRF, he congratulates them on every occasion, he brags how Zyuganov is second man in Russian politics, he basically blocks registration of any other communist party in Russia (like RKRP, for example). The union between KPRF and Russian authorities, it started long before split between Russia and West and continued through 90s and 2000s up to this point. KPRF basically exists because of Russian authorities that gifted then some of confiscated money of CPSU back in 1993. At that time there were already different communist parties in Russia, but Eltsin funded creation of this one. The same people who were in charge of Eltsin campaign, were alsa in charge of KPRF's campaign back then. This party basically betrayed it's voters every time it could, like in 1996.
I know history quite well. Especially history of Russia. For example, there were social-democrates who decided to unite with bourgeois, the2y called themselfs "mensheviks" and they failed miserably. But there were others, who choose revolution, called themselves "Bolsheviks" and later renamed themself to "communists". Those established the first socialist state on earth and managed to spread left ideas to half of the world.
The problem with KPRF is not that they support anti-imperialist actions of Putin, many other left parties in Russia do the same. The problem is that they are not supporting anti-capitalist movement inside Russia and even more, they are even interfering with over people trying to do that.
And about young communists in Russia, I do not know there do you come from with this opinion. There are some organization, mostly Trotskyism-oriented who think that because Putin is bad, everything that he does is also bad. But those are not the only ones, and even more, they arr considered outcasts and foolish by the majority. Although they are quite "loud".
KPRF was created by the bourgeoisie is a old lie perpetuated by the right wingers and libs. I constantly see it on Quora by Russian libs such as Dima Vorobiev, they repeat the old lib jab of CPC having capitalists in China.
Your point is... Basically I simp for CPC for some reason but when Russia commies do the same you hate them. No commie party is without faults and errors. Human history is full of mistakes. Will you call Jiang Zemin era where CPC introduced capitalists right into the party as "communism" Or fight against capitalism. It is not. Russian commies are learning and they are evolving, to discard them as tools of Putin is a EU imperialist talking point. Sorry not interested. Regarding Putin congratulating Zygunanov. Lol... Have you ever been to India? Kerala communists always get greetings from centrists and semi right wingers. Lol.
You guys always talk for revolution and such. It will not happen in Russia until US and EU imperialists are defeated. To quote 1917 decisions where imperialism was weak doesn't make any sense in 2023. Right now imperialism has evolved into Hyper-imperialism , read the document by Vijay Prashad.
KPRF being created by the bourgeois is shared opinion among everyone in Russia but KPRF itself. Open website of any Russian left movement and see what they think about KPRF. Because it is a fact it can be used by anyone including right-wingers, yes. Right-wingers can even say that the earth is round, but it does not mean that it is in fact flat.
Why do you think I simp for CPC? I just do not want to discuss here if it is communist party or not since it is a complicated matter. But for the record I do not like current policy of CPC. But CPC does not repress left movement in Russia, KPRF does. Russian communists learn from past fails, yes. Only, communists are not in control of KPRF. There are some communists in that party, but on regional level. There ate many comunists in other parties in Russia as well. Only those parties are not allowed to be registered and participate in elections. As for Putin attitude with KPRF it would be fine if not for his attitude to all other communist parties in Russia.
Complete victory against imperialism without revolution would only create the next big imperialist. I do not say that we should right now shtorm kremlin, but supporting his internal politics is not something a communist would do.

Pure nonsense, I won't go again with WW1 version of inter imperialist fight to understand multipolarity.
Revolution won't happen in Russia because Russia is in active fight against hybrid imperialism . You live in utopian world where you judge Russia by 1917 standards, world has changed a lot.
