The Communist Party of Pridnestrovie ("KPP", after its Russian initials) is a political party in Transnistria. Its leader is Vladimir Gavrilchenko. It is seen as a "conservative" communist party, in contrast to the Pridnestrovie Communist Party (PKK).
The Communist Party of Pridnestrovie maintains close contacts with groups in Russia. It is affiliated to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union led by Oleg Shenin, and it usually refers to itself by the initials "KPP-CPSU".
It has no presence in parliament and it is estimated that it has a following of less than 100 mostly elderly members.[1]
It supports independent statehood for Transnistria but opposes the administration of President Igor Smirnov.[2]
It has no candidate for the December 10, 2006 presidential election but supports Nadesha Bondarenko, the candidate of the competing Pridnestrovie Communist Party.
