She confirmed this information. She ran for the State Duma – for the second time – as a member of the New People party. Perhaps next year she will try to get elected from the New People party to one of the regional parliaments, the source says.

FWD from CHADAEV: About "A Just Russia." You can, of course, make fun of "Schrödinger's party," but I'd rather write a memoir myself. It was 2006. The entire FEP was bombarding Surkov with memos about how United Russia was clearly becoming ossified, that they were starting to think of themselves as eternal and immortal, and that it would be nice to create an alternative to them. One of the memos was even called "the second party of power." Surkov was strongly against it. Once, he even called me into his office and gave me a lecture, which he himself called "the doctrine of the indivisibility of administrative resources." "At least make one party properly," he said. United Russia isn't a party yet, it's a blank slate, where everyone was herded with a jade baton and told to sit still. But you understand what will happen if you start stirring up a second one right next to it? All the regional "elites" who have conflicts with other "elites" in their region will flee there. Moreover, every second one of these people gets a truancy notice in prison. But now, every time, it won't be a "dispute between business entities," but "the persecution of an opposition member for political reasons." Think about it, damn it, what are you asking for. But, apparently, some more influential people were found back then, and they finally pushed the Presidential Administration into a "second party." They played on the old fetish of "we need to take votes away from the Communist Party." Well, like, there will be a more left-wing version of United Russia, and with its help we will no longer divide votes from the "party of power" (a process unbearably complicated for the bureaucracy), but take them from the Reds. But then everything went exactly according to the scenario comrade lecturer described. At first, calls from above forced a number of current officials to form initiative groups (they fought back as best they could, taking sick leave, vacations, knowing the risks). They recruited these "elitist" types, but when it came to the first federal elections, the press got involved and suddenly they were being persecuted as the real opposition. They sat there, confused: how could this be? We're here on your orders, eh? And smart people explained to them that they were now in the same position as the Communists, Yabloko, SPS, and the rest of the LDPR. Well, things eventually worked out somehow, fortunately the sovereign sent his old friend and ally Mironov to this difficult task. Be that as it may, a second ruling party didn't materialize, nor did a spoiler for the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF). The result was a suitcase without a handle, which became a headache for administrators in every subsequent campaign. And while there were people in the Presidential Administration who remembered our notes, they regularly reminded me, "Be careful what you wish for." Now they're manually pulling them down to 5%—surely, with so many respected people on the list, and the factions seem a bit underrepresented. They'll pull it up, of course. And that's good—among other things, there are quite a few decent people there. Plus, as I already said, preserving the "biodiversity" of our political ecosystem is a valuable asset, and one that's clearly in danger of disappearing. But all this, again, is related to the "party of power" phenomenon, which I've written about extensively before, and which now, after yesterday's results, is a good opportunity to revisit.

The opposition in the Duma is divided between the Communist Party (40), LDPR (25), New People (20), Just Russia (4) and Rodina (1).

The LDPR improved its results in the State Duma elections, which were held for the first time without its founder, Vladimir Zhirinovsky. This was announced by party chairman Leonid Slutsky. "We improved our results, although not as much as we expected, but we improved them compared to 2021, where Vladimir Volfovich led the election campaign and served as its chief coordinator," said Leonid Slutsky. #elections2026

After more than 96.9% of the protocols have been processed, four parties have overcome the five percent barrier in the State Duma elections: United Russia is in the lead with 57.83% of the vote, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is in second place with 13.76% of the vote, the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia is in third place with 9.01%, and New People is in fourth place with 7.96%. A Just Russia is on the verge of not getting into the State Duma - for a long time, its figure did not exceed the five percent barrier, but after 96.9% were counted, it reached 5%.

A Just Russia party has cleared the 5% threshold to enter the State Duma on its party list.

The Duma campaign followed the "besieged fortress" scenario. As Dmitry Kiselev accurately points out, "in Russia, the result of the first Duma elections during the SVO is essentially a referendum on support for the course. And these are not only the figures of United Russia, but also the combined total of all the others, since everyone who got into the State Duma is united in the main thing." Nezygar spoke with political strategists involved in the Duma campaign. They all believe that this campaign is the most watered-down and least interesting in the entire post-Soviet period. The disposition, says the political strategist, is as follows: United Russia, due to public sentiment, has lost the ability to increase its ratings, so even niche competition between parties had to be limited. Therefore, there were constant restrictions during the campaign. It is forbidden to criticize the war, parties are forbidden to deal with themes of social discontent and local protests, although in 2021, during the Duma elections, this theme was actively used not only by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and A Just Russia. The backdrop of the election campaign, says another political strategist, was completely unsuitable for the growth of loyalty. The fuel crisis, threats of internet restrictions and drone and missile strikes on civilian infrastructure in most major cities of the European part of Russia. The Kremlin chose the only possible scenario - to turn the elections into a referendum on support for the government. All the negative factors and the military specificity were supposed to increase the mobilization asset. According to FOM, the ratings of United Russia only fell during the electoral period. At the beginning of summer, they were 37-38% (willingness to vote for the party), now 32-33%. In the State Duma, there will be approx. 78% of United Russia voted, while the party received over 57% of the list vote. According to FOM, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) also failed to achieve its growth; the party sagged, abandoning its critical rhetoric. This was confirmed by the elections, where the Communists showed a weaker result. FOM reported significant fluctuations in the LDPR rating (from 7% to 11%), given that the party ran a toothless campaign. They deliberately eliminated harsh rhetoric and placed emphasis on the concept of small deeds. New People suffered a reputational loss after Yabloko was removed from the elections. Their ratings plummeted, and there was no transfer of votes. This revealed the limitations of the New People project: they advocate victory, but with "intelligent" reservations. "The party of agreeable dissenters" is all that's permitted to an administrative party with the insincere rhetoric of its leaders. Political strategists consider A Just Russia to be the underdog in the current campaign. The party's rating is 3-4%, and administrative support has helped it survive, though the question of why this is necessary remains open. The possibility of A Just Russia not making it into the Duma was considered, but during the campaign, it was clear they would be dragged through, as a source put it. A Just Russia is ineffective across all fronts and is literally becoming the Kremlin's problem for the near future.

In the remote voting, New People beat the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia.
