As Russia holds parliamentary elections from 18 to 20 September, two smaller communist parties have rejected the electoral process, arguing that it offers no genuine alternative to the policies of the ruling capitalist class and the ongoing imperialist war in Ukraine.
The Organization of Communists and the Russian Communist Party (Internationalists), both of which emerged from a split in the Russian Communist Workers' Party over its support for Russia's military intervention in Ukraine, are not participating in the elections.
