Let's say Yeltsin botches things more in privatization, wheeling-and-dealing with local elites and the economic crash, and purges the Communists less effectively in 1993. The 1996 Presidential elections come around, and the KPRF winds up winning. Zyuganov is the President and the KPRF is the largest party in the Federal Assembly by more than 2:1 with its nearest rival.

What happens next? From what I understand, the KPRF is a pretty hardliner communist group.
