opponents are particularly fond of the myth that the Communist victory would provoke a civil war in Russia. We are ending this lie. CPRF's ultimate goal is a peaceful and stable development of Russia and return of people's wealth back to people. With our rule, the country will get rid of the destructive rule of the wild market. We will restore the state regulation of economic life, its core planning, industrial and agricultural policy. Privatization and the so-called reform destroyed more than two thirds of the country's industrial potential. It's time to rectify the situation.
