I think you're mixing up the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (who are actually quite level headed and campaign on nostalgia) with Zhirinovsky's Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (a HIGHLY-INAPPROPROTRIATELY named Ultra-Nationalist, Neo-Fascist, Imperialist Party with highly incendiary rhetoric). But those aren't the only opposing parties. The others are just rarely heard of - like American Third Parties - and by deliberate design in both cases...

Notice the commas

I meant, the Communists, Zhirinovsky, Ksenia Sobchak, etc.

Plus, even if there is actual legal and active political opposition, in some cases, incumbency can become toxically entrenched and de facto near unchallengeable by abusing incumbency and their effective ability to have a hand on the tiller of electoral law and procedures - like United Russia, the U.S. Duopoly, the Liberal Democrats in Japan, the PAP in Singapore, the National Party until 1994, and then the ANC from 1994, in South Africa, the PRI in Mexico until 2000, Fidesz in Hungary, ZANU-PF in Zimbabwe, the NRM in Uganda, Nur-Otan in Kazakhstan, New Azerbaijan in Azerbaijan, etc.

Well, the ANC seems to be losing support gradually.
