After the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Western countries one-sidedly accused Putin of "invading" Ukraine and sanctioned Russia one after another. But when the United States launched the War in Afghanistan, the War in Iraq, the War in Syria, and other invasions of other countries, why did the Western countries not oppose, but instead supported the United States' invasion of these countries? It seems that after the Conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the "double standard" of Western countries has come out again.
After the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Russia's domestic reaction was also different, and most people supported Putin. Putin's old rival, Zyuganov, the leader of the Russian Communist Party who often sings "against Putin", also stood up and supported Putin's invasion of Ukraine to fight against Ukraine's "neo-Nazi forces" and condemned Ukraine for committing genocide in the Donbass region.
Zyuganov said: "Russia launched military operations aimed at combating Nazi provocateurs and maintaining peace, in order to guarantee peace in the Donbass region and to ensure that Russia is protected from growing threats from the United States and NATO." "The United States wants to enslave Ukraine," "Only the demilitarization and de-nazification of Ukraine can ensure the long-term security of the peoples of Russia, Ukraine and Europe as a whole, and it is important to make extensive use of the methods of people's diplomacy and humanitarian cooperation in the struggle for peace and the prevention of the resurgence of fascism." ”
From Zyuganov's statement, we can see that he fully supports Putin's "special military operations" against Ukraine. The outside world still does not understand, believing that Zyuganov is Putin's opposition, often standing up to accuse Putin, why is he now supporting Putin again?
01
In fact, Zyuganov and Putin were both members of the CPSU, both of them had sworn an oath under the cpussu banner, both had received education from the CPSU, and both missed the Soviet Union. It was only the collapse of the Soviet Union, Zyuganov at the helm of the Russian Communist Party, and Putin's formation of the United Russia Party, although they belonged to different parties, and the two had different governing philosophies. Occasionally Zyuganov will have an opinion on Putin's governance, in fact, the two have a good personal relationship, which may not be seen by the outside world.
Although the two have different governing philosophies, and sometimes Putin has to take care of those who have opinions about the Soviet Union, both have patriotic feelings for their country, want Russia to be strong, and do not want Russia's security to be threatened. So this is the common goal of Putin and Zyuganov.
Before the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Putin has done enough to see from the timeline of the Ukrainian crisis that Russia negotiated with the West, did not allow Ukraine to join NATO, and then accused Ukraine of "genocide", Russian and Belarusian exercises, and so on, until the Russian-Ukrainian conflict occurred. Although the United States is behind the fire, Russia's approach has made the Russians see that the country is indeed threatened by NATO's security, and that Russians living in Ukraine are suffering from genocide, which has aroused Russian dissatisfaction with the United States and Ukraine.
In particular, Putin's two speeches in succession have explained very thoroughly the reasons why Russia wants to send troops, and exposed to the Russians the threat of containment of Russia by the United States and other Western countries, and even worried about the "neo-Nazi forces" that Ukrainians are now emerging, calling on Russians and parliamentary parties to unite and jointly fight back against the enemy.
So Zyuganov cannot refute Putin, and as the leader of the Russian Communist Party, his views on Western countries and Ukraine are highly consistent with Putin. Not only will Zyuganov not oppose it, but other parties will not oppose Putin. If you oppose, you will be regarded as a traitor and condemned by the Russians.

Here we talk about the relationship between Zyuganov and Putin, as we said earlier, the two have a good personal relationship, and Zyuganov also spoke highly of Putin. From the perspective of the Russian Communist Party, Russia needs people like Putin, and the strongman rule of the Soviet Union in the history of the Country can be stable, which is the common reaction of the Russians.
The relationship between the two is not often a relationship of drinking and chatting together, after all, Putin and Zyuganov belong to different political parties, and the Russian Communist Party generally supports Putin in the Duma. But Zyuganov also occasionally stood up against Putin, and Putin also refuted Zyuganov.
No matter how iron the relationship is, and no matter how much Putin has feelings for the Soviet Union, he will not be too obvious. Because within Putin's United Russia Party, there are still some people who oppose the Soviet system. For example, at the beginning of this year, some Duma deputies claimed to have removed Lenin's tomb. Zyuganov immediately fought back.
On the issue of the relocation of Lenin's tomb, Putin once stated that this topic should not be discussed again. The meaning is clear.
Some people ask, will Putin return to the Soviet Union with Russia?
In fact, the problem is very simple, Putin is unlikely to return to the Soviet model again, but will continue the Soviet tradition. And there are also people in the country who oppose Putin and Soviet history. Therefore, when Putin made a speech, he did not deliberately express his feelings for the Soviet Union, and sometimes attacked some Soviet leaders.
Putin's approach can not only let the people remember the glorious history of the Soviet Union, but also let the people know about the problems existing in the Soviet Union. In doing so, Putin unified all Russians with him, which is one reason for Putin's high approval rating.
Zyuganov of course saw this, and it is no wonder that some friends said: Who can guarantee that the Puju and puja will reach some kind of compromise and sing a song for the Westerners to see. However, on the issue of major national rights and wrongs, we must unify and unite.

Judging from Zyuganov's statement, the Russians have reached unprecedented unity in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, which is worth learning from. The characteristics of the Russians as a fighting nation are also once again manifested, a nation that is not belligerent, but indomitable, and can decisively counterattack the suppression and containment of the West.
The Russian-Ukrainian conflict will be a watershed in the changes in Europe, don't look at the fact that some European countries are now very united and follow the United States to sanction Russia. But Russia, a strong neighbor, cannot move away, and if Europe wants to live a good life, it must also ask Russia.
The Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the flow of European capital to the United States, Russia also let Europe have a long memory, see the inside story of the United States, to see who is the real enemy.
Putin decisively intervened, although the national strength will be hit hard, but in terms of national security, Putin would rather suffer losses than safeguard national security interests.
In terms of national interests, the different parties in Russia can abandon the past contradictions and unite to fight back together, which allows us to see the cohesion of the Russian people. The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has been fought for 8 days, and the media has not found that the Russians are against Putin. On the contrary, she supported Putin's decision on different occasions in Russia, such as the famous Russian soprano Nietribuko, because she refused to condemn Putin's invasion of Ukraine, she was terminated by the Zurich Opera House, bavarian Opera and other singing contracts.
Ordinary people can do this, let alone politicians. If the war takes place in another country, those who are well-known and lead the way do not know how much traitorous things they will have to cooperate with the United States.
Therefore, after a brief analysis of Zyuganov's statement, we sincerely expressed our admiration and praise for Putin and also expressed our respect for Zyuganov.
