Why does he keep using the C-word?

The Russian Communist Party is enjoying growing public support, and its leader, Gennady Zyuganov, now looks set to succeed Boris Yeltsin as president after elections in Jun 1996. The revival of Communism in Russia is causing considerable concern among western observers, even though Zyuganov is trying hard to convey a positive, open image. He emphasises that he is just one candidate among many, and that the Communists can be voted out of power if ordinary people wish. However, many observers feel that he is not to be trusted.
