Russia: Yuriy Afonin – “Pro-Government Sociology Recognizes Reality”! (11.10.2026)

I would like to remind you that the leadership of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, immediately after receiving the first data on the results of voting in the elections to the State Duma, stated that, according to independent sociological data, the result of our party should be much higher.
