👉 Federal Assembly (Russia) in the context of Communist Party of the Russian Federation

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF; Russian: Коммунистическая партия Российской Федерации, КПРФ, romanizedKommunisticheskaya partiya Rossiyskoy Federatsii, KPRF) is a communist political party in Russia that officially adheres to Marxist–Leninist philosophy. It is the second-largest political party in Russia after United Russia. The youth organisation of the party is the Leninist Young Communist League.

The CPRF can trace its origin to the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (RSDLP) which was established in March 1898. The party split in 1903 into a Menshevik (minority) and Bolshevik (majority) faction; the latter, led by Vladimir Lenin, is the direct ancestor of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) and is the party that seized power in the October Revolution of 1917. After the CPSU was banned in 1991 by Russian president Boris Yeltsin in the aftermath of a failed coup attempt, the CPRF was founded at the Second Extraordinary Congress of Russian Communists on 14 February 1993 as the successor organisation of the Communist Party of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (CPRSFSR). It was the ruling party in the State Duma, the lower house of the Russian Federal Assembly from 1998 to 1999.

Federal Assembly (Russia) in the context of State corporation (Russia)

A State Corporation (Russian: Государственная корпорация, romanizedGosudarstvennaya Korporatsiya) is a non-profit organization, which is wholly owned by the Russian Federation directly, bypassing the Federal Agency for State Property Management. Each State Corporation is created by a legislative act of Russian Federal Assembly, using Federal funds for its initial operation, to perform social, managerial, and other socially beneficial functions.

This type of legal entity was established in 1999 (Article 7.1, NCO Law). These state corporations are essentially a special type of fully Federally-owned non-profit organizations, and they are different from all the other organizations referred to in the mass media as "state corporations".
