In the 2013 elections in Volgograd, the party received 5.04% (9055 votes) breaking the five-percent threshold and received one seat in the city Parliament.[4]

In 2014, Bognadov became party leader, succeeding Yuri Morozov in this post. Andrei Brezhnev, grandson of General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Leonid Brezhnev, was elected First Secretary of the Central Committee of the party. In this year's election, Brezhnev was the candidate for the Parliament of Crimea and Sevastopol,[5] but the party did not win any seats.[6][7]

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF) has accused the party of being a creation of the Kremlin and United Russia to siphon votes away from the KPRF.[8][9]
