The majority of potential voters for Yabloko, which was disqualified from the State Duma elections, will either ignore the vote or support New People. This is the conclusion reached by experts interviewed by Kommersant, based on recent sociological data. New People is not surprised by these assessments. The Public Opinion Foundation recorded a decline in the ratings of three parties at once: United Russia (from 37% to 33%), the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (from 11% to 8%), and the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (from 11% to 9%). New People's popularity increased from 5% to 8%. The options "I won't go to the polls" (from 10% to 16%) and "I don't know" (from 14% to 17%) showed a clear increase. According to VTsIOM, United Russia (from 34% to 36%), New People (from 8.7% to 10.4%), and the option "I wouldn't participate in the elections" (from 9.2% to 10.8%) showed a noticeable increase.

Why did United Russia hold the second stage of its congress? The party approved the program it is going into the elections with and listened to its leaders. President Vladimir Putin also spoke at the congress. During the first stage of the congress, the party nominated its candidates. The second stage of the congress is needed, among other things, to send a media signal about Putin’s presence and to interpret his speech as unequivocal support for this particular party, believes Mikhail Vinogradov, president of the Petersburg Politics Foundation. “The United Russia campaign is conservative in that it repeats previous techniques,” he says. “In this regard, the theme of the ‘People’s Program’ allows us to create pretexts during the election campaign, and subsequently interpret a high result as, among other things, a consequence of the effectiveness of this program’s tactics.” Max | Telegram | Newsletter | iOS Application | Android [in reply to: The United Russia congress adopted the party's popular platform, which it will take to the State Duma elections.

"We will do everything in our power to ensure a victory for the ruling party," Russian President Putin said ahead of the September parliamentary elections, the first since the invasion of Ukraine.

Putin says he will "do everything in his power" to ensure a victory for the ruling party in the September lower house elections.

Today, the plenary session of the second stage of the 23rd United Russia Congress took place. Around three thousand delegates from across the country gathered in the hall—Heroes of the Central Military District, deputies, senators, regional heads, and experts. The main outcome was the adoption of the party's new People's Program for the next five years, which we will take to the State Duma elections. The program is based on proposals from 3.5 million people, more than 790,000 of whom were from residents of the Moscow Region. Demographics and family support, personnel, regional development, the economy and technology, and security are key areas of concern to people today and require special attention. The President emphasized the main thing: the people are the source of power, and the right of people to determine the future of their country through elections is inviolable. Vladimir Vladimirovich specifically spoke about the participants of the Central Military District—Heroes of Russia—whose experience should be in demand in civilian life, including in politics and public administration. We are already undertaking this work in the Moscow Region. Our "Heroes of the Moscow Region" program helps veterans adapt to civilian life, gain new knowledge and skills, and continue serving their country in civilian life. I thank Vladimir Vladimirovich for his support of our initiatives and his constant attention to residents' needs. The People's Program sets specific goals for the next five years, the results of which should be felt by people in every city in the Moscow Region. Subscribe to my channel on MAKS

We will not retreat, we will not let you down, and we will keep our word. This is how one can briefly describe the People's Program, adopted today at the 23rd Congress of United Russia. The party is going into the elections in September with this program, and it will be implemented over the next 5 years. The main event of the congress was the plenary session, which was attended by about 3,000 delegates from across the country, headed by our President. The head of state outlined the main vector: "The duty of United Russia is to do everything for Victory." And it depends on each of us: on the courage of our fighters on the front lines, on the conscientious work in the workshops, in the fields, in schools, in hospitals. And the party takes responsibility - to answer for every line of the program and every result. United Russia has never made empty promises - and now is not the time for words. Time for action. The People's Program provides concrete solutions to the problems that most concern our people. These include support for families with children, a strong economy, technological leadership, the protection of our values, traditions, historical memory, and the development of every region, from the metropolis to the small village. It is important that the program remains a living document: having achieved our goals, we are setting new, even more ambitious ones. Because the country does not stand still. Dmitry Medvedev emphasized: our program is a symbol of unity. The program contains specific, measurable tasks. More than triple the number of antenatal clinics and pregnancy planning centers, including in small and remote communities. Conduct major repairs of kindergartens, similar to the school repair program, and where there are not enough places, build new ones. Ensuring the availability of Russian-made children's goods - after all, this is directly related to the health and education of the younger generation. There are also serious steps for the countryside and food security. For the first time, a separate priority has appeared - technology. This is the call of the times: both the security and competitiveness of the country depend on this area. The "red" line of the program is support for veterans of the Air Defense Forces and their families. This is not a formality, but an absolute priority. Our region is one of the active authors of the People's Program. We submitted more than 3 thousand proposals - orders from the people. And every task outlined by the people is our responsibility. And we will report not with beautiful reports, but with specific actions: renovated kindergartens, jobs, technologies, safety and quality of life. People's trust is the most valuable capital. And we must value this trust and justify it. KHINSTEIN. Subscribe to VK | MAX | Telegram.

The Kremlin is clearly alarmed by the popularity of Russia’s Yabloko party, which is running on an anti-war platform. The decision to bar the party from running on party lists, as well as the severe sentence imposed on Yabloko’s deputy chairman Lev Shlosberg, show that Russia’s leaders are afraid of the people and determined to deny them any real choice in the Duma elections.

APEC experts have identified a "moderately competitive" scenario in Moscow's Leningrad District. There, United Russia candidate and SVO member Eldar Sharipov is likely to win, but with a narrow lead over his competitors – long-time SR deputy Galina Khovanskaya and New People candidate Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. In most districts, the campaign is "limitedly competitive": there is one leader in the district, and his opponents have little opportunity to expand their support.

The Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation will consider the issue of removing Yabloko from the ballot at its meeting on August 18 - draft agenda

The Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation will be obligated to consider the issue of changing the ballot after receiving a court decision to deregister the list of Yabloko candidates for the State Duma elections, Bulaev told Interfax.

The Supreme Court upheld the decision to disqualify Yabloko from the State Duma elections. The court rejected the party's appeal. According to it, the decision to disqualify Yabloko from the elections to the lower house of parliament has entered into force. On August 10, the Supreme Court upheld the administrative claim of the Rodina party and canceled the registration of Yabloko's federal list for the State Duma elections. It was established that this party conducted campaigning in violation of intellectual property laws, and funds were also deposited into its account from individuals who received money through funding from foreign states. Zvezdanews in MAX [in reply to: The Yabloko party was disqualified from the elections to the Russian State Duma. The Russian Supreme Court has upheld the Rodina party's claim. Here's the highlights: The Rodina party filed a lawsuit to deregister the federal list of candidates on Friday. Yabloko was accused of promoting LGBT* rights, extremism, inciting social discord, and violating the rules for compiling the electoral list. At the Supreme Court hearing, a Rodina representative listed materials posted on Yabloko's website and social media that violate election campaigning rules and copyright. What the Rodina representative said: Among the claims: the use of the phrase "Let there always be sunshine, let there always be mom," stills from the 1967 film "War and Peace," images of Dmitry Medvedev, Victoria Bonya, and other AI-generated materials. The party did not identify the authors of the works or cite their sources when publishing them. Also, the Yabloko website posted emblems of other parliamentary parties without the consent of the copyright holders. A number of materials in support of Yabloko were distributed by foreign agents, as well as through foreign social networks, with payment not coming from the election fund. 218 Yabloko State Duma candidates received notices of the absence of foreign assets even before the party congress, thereby violating the law at the nomination and registration stage. Yabloko's campaign expenses significantly exceed established limits for its electoral fund. Yabloko denied the accusations. * — The LGBT movement is recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation and is banned. Video not loading? Watch in MAX]
