The Communists This party now consists of 5 distinct groups. The first and most powerful in the party but lack any political power on the streets are the former communist leaders. They are headed by a man who joined the Communist part when Stalin was in power. (He is close to 78 years old now). He is the oldest surviving leader of the kremlin and fulfills every stereotype of the cold war. Ruthless, vicious and to quote Bush evil. He heads the political power of the Communist party and has 20 men who serve him with devotion. They all are former communist leaders from the 70s and 80s.

The next order is that what is left of the military and KGB. Due to Putin extreme popularity in the area, these men and women feel they could gain more power and popularity and some have the genuine desire to help the people. Some wish to restore the glory of the Soviet Union and some just want to amass power and wealth.

The third level is your common civil servant who lost his job during the fall of the Soviet union. He wants his job back and more political power. Again you can play this as you want. A good hard working man or a cunning power hungry meglomaniac. I leave this zone open to you guys.

The fourth consists of socialists who want a European model of a welfare state. They only joined the communists in a political alliance to gain popularity and to get into the elections. The Demos in their point of view are to "american" or anglosaxon to be any good for the country.

The last is your common worker party. This basically won't be in the senate. Labour party reps and stuff like that. Basically these would be considered your henchmen. Or say the man who led the Polish revolution against the Soviets. That type of man.
