According to the politician, the tasks set by the Russian leader Vladimir Putin in a message to the Federal Assembly are not being fulfilled, but "the economy is skidding."
“And now - there is a high probability that the economic crisis will turn into a political one,” Zyuganov told kp.ru.
Earlier, Zyuganov, during a speech at the Russia-2024 Conference: Left Turn or National Disaster, said he did not rule out the possibility of holding early presidential elections in Russia.
In July, Putin called it premature whether he plans to stay in politics after 2024. The President noted that he was thinking about a possible successor as head of state since 2000.
