Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov has warned of rising “tension and danger” in Russian society.
Speaking at the KPRF’s pre-election congress, Zyuganov said Russians were increasingly anxious. Zyuganov blamed the situation on the ruling United Russia’s policies, though he did not link the claim to specific decisions.
