As I understand the situation, development of a vaccine is a fairly routine procedure that does not require extraordinary achievements. If you have specialists and equipment.
+ In Russia 7 or 8 types of vaccines were developed (based on a live strain, pieces of RNA, etc.). Which one came out for the final clinical trials, I do not know for sure.
#1 Moscovites DEFINITELY had *unsanctioned* meeting of solidarity with Khabarovsk, and by the look of it - it's not some "Navalny crowd" as usual, but left-leaning people.
They tried to explain to Khabarovsk protesters that it's much more difficult to organize a protest in Moscow, since the police is much more vicious there ( plus of course Moscow and Moscovites are much better off financially speaking, than the rest of the country. That's why they are less likely to participate in left-minded actions.)
However people were definitely out there ( as in St. Pet.,) to support the protest in the Far East, and as I've said before, Khabarovsk was grateful for this moral support.
#2. While watching this video, I received few other suggestions in my feed, and to my surprise I discovered that younger generation of KPRF politicians is getting much more confrontational and outspoken while in parliaments - both in local ones and in State Duma.
Even though they are there as "accepted opposition," the sparks are flying, when they accuse current government of plunging living standards of majority of people, they point at deputies' salaries, the meager pensions and so on.
And the last but not least, they point at imprisonment of the left-minded officials, under made up pretenses, sort of like it was in case of Furgal and Grudinin.
So from what I see, the left is the future ( and only) power in Russia to challenge Putin for two reasons;
Number one - no one will suspect them in ties to the US government, and two - left-minded politics don't have the kind of complications/repercussions in Russia as they do in the US with their racial/feminist issues, since Russia has none of such things.
So my prediction is, that the attempt that American left ( the Democrats) made back in the nineties - to push Russia down the ultra right path, while claiming left ideas for themselves and climbing with them on top of the world, is going to fail after all.
And this of course includes the latest attempts to turn Ukraine ( which is originally as left-minded as "Russia proper",) into anti-Russian project.
Russia would need another leftist party then and it can't be the KPRF. Putin allows which parties can exist though, to manage them and siphon off support. This wasn't his invention, but he perfected it. So how will he allow a new left leaning opposition to form? He can't because you correctly predicted the outcome.

I was always predicting that the opposition will be born not in Moscow, but in Siberia/Russian Far East regions.
The areas, where Moscow doesn't have much of control over people's minds.
Only their natural resources.

I think Russia’s issue is they have too many parties that are economically on the left, their best bet would be to have them all form a coalition and hold a primary with all the leftist parties and then stand behind the winner. The only party that is economically right that I’m aware of is United Russia?

It doesn't matter. No parties are allowed to exist without his blessing. He will clamp down on the LDPR like the others and start any new parties to help grab whatever "protest" votes he feels like. This is "managed democracy" i.e. "fake" democracy. Not exactly a new concept in the history of authoritarians.
