Abstract

The following article addresses the existence of ideas coming from the Cold War present in the current discourses of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. This series of narratives have been part of the political formation since its birth, but the conflict in Ukraine has enhanced the use of strategies and convictions that had already been part of the modus operandi of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in the years of its struggle with the United States and the Western Bloc.
