The RCWP-RPC is led by Viktor Tyulkin (he was co-chairman with Anatolii Kriuchkov until the latter diedin 2005).

In the 1999 Duma Election, the Party won 2.2% of the total vote, getting 1,481,890 votes overall.

The RCWP-RPC considers the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) to be reformist but for the occasion of the 2003 Duma Election the Party leaders decided to make an agreement with the CPRF in order not to disperse the communist vote.

It publishes a newspaper called Trudovaja Rossija (Трудовая Россия; «Working People's Russia») and the journal Sovetskij Sojuz (Советский Союз; «Soviet Union»).

The RCWP-RPC claims to have supported all the biggest occupations and strikes in Russia. It has links to the Russian trade union «Zashchita». It claims about 55,000 members as of 2006[citation needed].

The Revolutionary Communist Youth League (Bolshevik) (RCYL(b)) is the youth organization of the RCWP-RPC. It is one of the most active communist youth organizations in Russia. RCYL(b) is led by Alexander Batov.
