Critical perception
As noted in the material published on the World Socialist Web Site on September 29, 2018: "Mitina is a Stalinist, for whom the late dictator is a man who has no equal in history. Twice a year she visits his grave to lay flowers. She travels the world as an informal political agent of Vladimir Putin's government".{{Cite web |url=https://www.wsws.org/ru/articles/2018/09/29/gafu-s29.html |title=Российский неосталинист защищает аргентинскую Рабочую партию в деле «восстановления» Четвертого Интернационала|work= World Socialist Web Site |access-date=2020-05-09 |archive-date=2021-01-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210125151211/https://www.wsws.org/ru/articles/2018/09/29/gafu-s29.html}}
