Right now Putin is the best candidate for Russia. I don’t think anyone in the KPRF Or UR has the capacity to run Russia. Maybe that Mishtushin Or whatever.
As you frequently post about geopolitics, I have a question regarding Palestine. Why did USSR choose to support Israel in 1948 ?.. Is it because to counter the arab countries who were siding with the British? It feels weird how Stalin who fought Nazis gave affirmation to a whole nazi project in Palestine.
Honestly don’t know the actual logic was there. Stalin did do a lot of questionable shit after the war though like abandoning Greece, which led to his falling out with Tito and breakdown of relations with Yugoslavia. Seems like he was really keen on honoring whatever deals he mad with the west at the end of the war for whatever reason.
But here is a thing Greece was let go because it was churchil who promised that Poland would be a buffer state or zone of influence if British gets Greece. The fall with Tito was for different reason , as I have read the conversation with Hoxha it seems Tito wanted to annex Albania to create greater Yugoslavia which Stalin negated. There got to be some reason why Stalin gave the green light to create Israel . Most right wing Muslims are mad because it was USSR who supported this Zionist project.
I’ve read somewhere that the USSR supported the zionist entity because they felt it was a form of decolonisation, ending the British occupation is Palestine. Also, back then zionism had some superficially leftist tendencies and there was a widespread belief on the left that the zionist entity would become a “socialist” society.
It was not the greatest moment for the analytical power of marxism-leninism. The communist movement failed the Palestinians.

If Putin runs, I can’t see how he doesn’t get another term.

I’d be interested to know what the actual thinking there was as well.
