On the altar of communism

Citizens who voluntarily donate to the Communist Party of the Russian Federation ((http://www.vedomosti.ru/newspaper/article.shtml?2005/10/25/98675) began to receive subpoenas) from the tax inspectorate. So far, such cases have been reported only in Moscow and Kemerovo, but it has already been decided: from now on, patrons of the arts must indicate not only their name and address, but also all other passport data. It is no secret that the Communists’ budget is formed mainly from private donations, so the actions of the authorities are more likely not to be measures to comply with the rule of law, but rather to a crude attempt to “finish off” an opponent who has already weakened in recent years.
