United Russia to Have Communist Package
The ruling party of the current parliament, United Russia, will elaborate its election program by this fall, the party’s General Council resolved past Saturday. The key peculiarity of the program will be the active usage of left and left and centrist rhetoric, including the calls for people’s solidarity, social justice and direct control of the people. This sentiment that is expected to propel United Russia to the next State Duma signals its left wing has finally defeated the right one.
The key resolution of United Russia’s General Council that met Saturday under the slogan “Looking into the future” was committing the party to set to making out an election program. The draft should be elaborated by October 1 so that the Congress could pass it in Yekaterinburg December 2.
But the detailed draft of the party’s ideology is available already and has been worded in United Russia’s Propagandist. The introduction to this book, which is not aimed at the public at large, has been written by Alexey Chadaev, member of Russia’s Public Chamber and the author of Putin. His Ideology masterpiece, highly praised by Vladimir Surkov, deputy chief of Putin’s administration.
The sources say Propagandist explicitly advocates a communist packing for United Russia’s ideology and often uses the phrases like “democratic people’s patriotism,” “social justice,” “direct control of the people,” “the policy of people’s action.”
The interesting point is that Propagandist doesn’t often mention the name of Vladimir Putin. Actually, today’s president of Russia is referred to only in the Introduction, where Chadaev urges to win election “not as Putin’s supporters, but as a political force claiming long-term leadership.”
