On the political sphere, Cukierman remarked that, their and PRC’s approaches to the relations with the international communist movement were not identicaland added that PCRF holds different views on means of political and ideological struggle.

Next year, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the October Revolution, PCRF ano will anounces its participation in the International Working Women's Day.

The official publication of the PCRF is stated to be the Intervention Communist (Communist Intervention).
