Если КПРФ победит на выборах, какими будут первые шаги?

Overview

The speaker discusses what the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) would do first if it wins elections later this year. The core message is that voters should judge parties by concrete program proposals, not by slogans or advertising.

Core Claim: Only the CPRF Has a Real Governing Program

The speaker contrasts the CPRF’s program with “United Russia” and “New People”, arguing that those parties:

• Rely on vague promises rather than implementable plans.
• Fail to address major problems in a substantive way.
• Continue outcomes that effectively preserve wealth inequality (as described by the speaker).

First Steps Proposed by the CPRF (as Described)

1. Fill the federal budget through major state control

   • Nationalize strategic sectors, especially oil and gas and other natural resources, placing them under state ownership.
   • Nationalize banking, including the Central Bank, to support:
     • credit amnesty
     • interest-free loans for the public The speaker frames this as replacing extremely high-interest lending and directing credit to industry and citizens’ needs.

2. Expand revenue and reduce inequality via taxation

   • Introduce or strengthen a genuinely progressive tax targeting the super-rich at very high rates.
   • The speaker argues current “progressive” measures don’t affect oligarchs because:
     • oligarch income is largely from dividends, not wages
     • those income streams are not adequately covered Therefore, the system should be corrected to address dividend-based wealth.

3. Tackle corruption through transparency and property confiscation

   • The speaker references Article 20 of a UN convention requiring officials and public figures funded by the budget (including law enforcement, judges, and others) to:
     • report
     • justify their expenses
   • They criticize the current approach as empty “declarations,” arguing that wealth inconsistent with salary is evidence of corruption.
   • The speaker calls for reviving confiscation of property as an anti-corruption tool, noting:
     • it was abolished in 1993
     • and only partially restored afterward

4. Increase public and worker oversight

   • Promote trade-union and workers’ control, giving work collectives access to financial/economic activity and influence over decisions.
   • The goal is to make budget spending more transparent.

Spending Priorities if the Budget Grows

The speaker argues that additional budget money should fund:

• Social protections
• Labor reforms

Examples cited in the subtitles include:

• Increasing the minimum wage (cited as 40,000 rubles)
• Support for young families raising children, tied to minimum wage levels
• Canceling pension reform, criticizing the increase of retirement age to 65
• Proposals for shorter working time, mentioning a 30-hour workweek concept

Political/Electoral Reforms Demanded

The speaker says CPRF deputies proposed an electoral code intended to make elections more transparent and reduce abuses, including:

• Abolishing three-day voting
• Ending DEG / “electronic voting” restrictions (as stated in the subtitles)
• Expanding/removing limits on observers
• Ending restrictions that allow authorities to block observation

They also argue that local power—such as mayors, judges, and heads of law enforcement and prosecutors—should be elected, not appointed.

View on “Blocking” Information and Society’s Role

The speaker links political change with ending internet/social network and Telegram blocking, claiming CPRF pushed for a legislative moratorium on blocking.

They also urge people to participate in elections rather than stay home, criticizing what they call “illusion” and passive skepticism toward the CPRF compared with authoritarian measures.

Overall Tone

The talk functions as both:

• a campaign argument, and
• a policy outline

It presents the CPRF agenda as a comprehensive alternative centered on:

• state control of strategic sectors
• anti-corruption enforcement
• stronger social protections
• more transparent elections
