The program is conducted by Mark Krutov. A radio correspondent Freedom Mumin Shakirov takes part.
Mark Krutov : Today in the suburbs there is a plenum of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Communist Party, on the eve of which in some media there were reports that the Communist Party may establish an age qualification for its party workers. The problem that seemed especially relevant in the days of Soviet stagnation, it turns out, has not lost its relevance today. However, information about the fact that such a decision will be made in the Communist Party at the official level is not yet confirmed. Nevertheless, the main theme of today's Plenum is precisely the personnel question: how to rejuvenate the Communist Party. At the Plenum of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, our correspondent Mumin Shakirov works, we will learn all the details from him, he is in direct connection with our studio.
Mumin Shakirov: The Communists remained true to their traditions. At the entrance to the Scientific and Methodological Center of the Central Committee of the Trade Union of employees of the agro-industrial complex, where the July Plenum is taking place, young people in red t-shirts distribute newspapers, leaflets and other party literature. The organizers thought out the musical part of the event: a folk move, performing folk songs, dancing women in bright red outfits. When the choir completed his performance, they turned on the record, where it turned out that “Stalin is a father for us, and the motherland is a mother ... for the Soviet Union, for the Komsomol ...” - in a word, familiar to the pain of rhyme.
The meeting began solemnly. On the stage are the leaders of the Communist Party, led by Gennady Zyuganov, a table with a red cloth, a bust of Lenin and another attributes of the Communist Party. When the former member of the Politburo Yegor Ligachev entered the stage, stormy applause rang out in the hall. Gennady Zyuganov handed the party to the party "For Merit to the Communist Party of the Communist Party." The former governor of the Tula region, the GKCHST Vasily Starodubtsev, and other comrades also came out. Then came what you mentioned - about young personnel, that is, Gennady Zyuganov handed party tickets to young people, students, managers, military, as well as operational workers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. All this happened in a festive atmosphere, he kissed the girls, sorry for young people.
Then he began the main - it was his report, where he talked about the situation in the country. Of course, Putin, Prime Minister, Minister of Finance Kudrin went. But I noticed that he did not mention the President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev anywhere. Otherwise, this is the old rhetoric: democracy, nationalization of large enterprises, oil industry, gas industry. It is amazing that in his report, Gennady Zyuganov said a few words about US President Obama. He really liked how he claims that the US President partially nationalized General Motors, and this is the way the Communist Party is welcome when the largest enterprises are returning to the state’s hard control.
