The Special Corps of Medusa Ilya Zhegulev talked with the candidate for the president of Russia from the Communist Party. Here are the main theses of Pavel Grudinin:

• All parties in Russia are fakes (except for communist);
• In Russia there is only a socialist ideology (no liberals, there are kleptocrates);
• Mikhail Prokhorov in the elections was the Kremlin project (but Grudinin - no).

When asked about the attitude to Joseph Stalin, a presidential candidate of Russia answered as follows:

Did Peter I St. Petersburg not build blood? Why can it be either only good or only bad? So I talked with the Chinese, they say: 60% of Mao was right, and 40% was wrong. There were also excesses and much more. But this is our story. No one can object that Stalin is the greatest man and, thanks to his iron will, the country won the war.
