No one here should be surprised in any way. The Russian Communist Party is a state operated controlled opposition. All the high ranking members receive huge payouts from liberal parties and oligarchs, while active lower ranking members are shuffled into useless positions or shunned.
The chairman is also a Putin Yes Man, meaning he has sacrificed his entire Marxist identity to make money. The party has become reactionary, hostile, and liberals. They have lost the last shreds of the party from the Union days, many years ago.
