“Given that our demands for the resignation of the government and constitutional amendments in favor of increasing control over the legislative executive branch have been fulfilled, we will abstain from voting for and against, but we will see in the near future what program and composition of the team Mishustin and the president will offer,” he said .

According to him, in the current conditions, the faction will react positively to all initiatives that meet its programmatic wishes.

Zyuganov also said that the Communist Party in this case could nominate its candidates for ministerial posts.

Earlier, United Russia unanimously supported Mishustin’s candidacy for the post of prime minister.
