I don't get the impression that they're controlled opposition, just that their leadership is anemic. This is a fairly reasonable overview of them https://jamestown.org/program/the-russian-communist-party-the-view-from-the-left/
Thanks comrade
Thanks for the resource, the article dates from 1997. Do you have a more recent article on them or would you say not a lot changed inside the party in the past 28 years?
I haven't followed too closely to be honest. As far as I know their position hasn't changed significantly over the years, and it's largely the same people in charge.
Got it. If I get some free time I might dig around a bit to learn more as I am not that familiar with Russian politics. Unfortunately as I can’t speak Russian, not sure I’ll find anything worthwhile
Unfortunately, English media coverage is scant, and mostly negative as you'd expect.
