“I’m confident that in 2013 it will become obvious to everyone,” the KPRF leader stated.

In an article, published on Thursday on the party’s website, Zyuganov summed up the results of the previous year and shared his view on how past events will affect the future of Russia as well as other countries.

In keeping with tradition, the Communist leader slammed the policy lead by the ruling power as “destructive.” The 2012 year “fell short of expectations” by those who waited for a start of positive social-economic and political changes in the country, he pointed out.
