metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article examines the emergence, development, and current state of two Russian radical leftist
  groups often overlooked by political scholars of Russia: neo-Trotskyists and neo-Stalinists. The
  genesis of the neo-Trotskyist and neo-Stalinist parties and groups was of a different nature. The
  neo-Trotskyist movements and groups (Revolutionary Workers’ Party, Russian Socialist Movement,
  Socialist Alternative) originated from below, under the influence of international Trotskyist
  organizations, and consist mainly of young people. Most of these are organizations of democratic
  socialists that maintain a connection with the Marxist tradition. The neo-Stalinist parties,
  conversely, emerged as a result of the collapse of the CPSU (All-Union Communist Party of the
  Bolsheviks, Russian Communist Workers’ Party) or the secession from the Communist Party of
  the Russian Federation (Communist Party “Communists of Russia”, United Communist Party). The
  authors also analyze the factors that contribute to the marginalization of the Russian radical left.
  The socio-economic state of the Russian society is far from a severe economic crisis, which could
  have contributed to the popularity of left-wing radicalism. The demographic factor contributes to
  the decline of neo-Stalinist parties, but has little effect on neo-Trotskyist groups. The orientation
  towards the maximum preservation of the status quo, which is an imperative to Russian domestic
  policy also influences the marginalization of the Russian radical left. Perhaps one of the main
  factors blocking the development of the radical left in Russia is the adherence of a significant part
  of them to the Soviet experience and their ignorance of the experience of the Western left. The
  devotion to the Soviet experience allows the Russian left, both moderate and radical, to maintain
  its social base, however prevents them from keeping up to date and proposing new goals and
  new tactics to achieve them.
