In building a new statist movement, Zyuganov seems to be readying another version of the red-brown--that is, communist-nationalist--alliance that shook the democrats in parliament a few years ago.

Today's men in Beijing are less patient, perhaps sensing that Taiwan is growing stronger and more distant all the time.
