Communist moralizing: KPRF leader Gennady Zyuganov is gearing up for the State Duma elections with the same old claims

Jesus Christ was the first communist on the planet, KPRF leader Gennady Zyuganov proclaimed during a Komsomolskaya Pravda radio broadcast on September 1. The Russian Orthodox Church replied that "it does not consider it correct and appropriate to compare the incarnation of God with any political and economic doctrines, including communism." However, this isn't the first time Zyuganov has referred to Jesus as a communist. Meduza discovered that Communist Party leader has been making this claim for at least 20 years -- and more often than not, he brings it up ahead of parliamentary elections.
