Zyuganov isn't a capitalist, but he's been very limp opposition since the election was stolen from in by Yeltsin and the US in '94. They did try running a billionaire against Putin and lost miserably, the the guy they ran was apparently the elected CEO of some farming cooperative business so it was kind of a "here's how you can be rich under our Chinese-style Market Socialism platform" and not a total selling out, but people still hated it.
