Usually, that’s exactly what I do. “Communist-friendly” a definite plus.
As to the questionnaire thing, I do that to the degree that it isn’t off-putting. That is, I try not to ask too many hostile-sounding questions, but I do ask early on about religious practices, political stances, and even about positions on artistic tastes, culinary preferences, and other potential dealbreakers because it’s good to eliminate women who wouldn’t get along with me anyway. Doing this stuff too abruptly can seem rude, though, so I try to approach these topics gingerly, but it is helpful to approach them sooner rather later.
