MOSCOW—Russia’s national elections commission on Tuesday registered Nikolai Kharitonov, candidate of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, to challenge President Vladimir Putin in the March election. Kharitonov, 75, joins two other candidates who were approved to run last week.

    I doubt the party has a chance of ever unseating Putin, but Putin must die eventually and they are well-positioned for that eventuality. Moreso than Navalny, who’s lack of support makes him a non-starter.

    My impression of the Russian communist party is that they’ve become more a nationalist party than anything promoting class struggle.
