if by “left” you mean socialist, then ostensibly. there’s the CPRF, which is the main opposition party–but they’re just as nationalist as most of the right-wing parties and socially conservative. if you mean “left” as in broadly left-of-center politics, then not really. most of the liberal parties have been crushed (and have the same caveat as CPRF does without transformational economic politics).
liberals aren’t left. But the Communist party’s leadership needs a major re-orient. The main of the party is quite radical and could easily become a truly dangerous opposition to the main party of the RF.
