Around the Moscow branch of Yabloko, an open confrontation flared up - the former Moscow municipal deputy Maxim Katz announced plans to lead the metropolitan cell. Now she is led by Sergey Mitrokhin. In the elections to the State Duma, Katz managed the headquarters of the ex-deputy of the parliament and candidate in the Tushinsky single-mandate district of Dmitry Gudkov (he moved from Yabloko). Gudkov then lost to the nominated “United Russia” Gennady Onishchenko about five percent, reported violations, but did not appeal the results of the vote. “Yabloko” worsened its result compared to the last Duma elections, gaining 1.99% of the vote (in 2011-3.43%). At the same time, the party lost the right to state funding, which is given only to those who gained more than 3%.
In Moscow, “Yabloko” showed approximately the same result as in the last elections-about 9.5%, but not a single apple-and-man-mandate went to the State Duma. Maxim Katz explains the idea of changing the leadership of the Moscow branch with a desire to influence party life and nomination of candidates.
“I have a hypothesis on this score. Parties are so ineffective and uninteresting that you do not want to spend your time on them. You might have sat a couple of times a year on party discussions, if then the activity followed from this, which is suitable for your standards of adequate policy. So that everything is transparent, so that you understand how much money is and how much it is required. What goals are set and how they are fulfilled. How and why employees are hired and who they are. Who and why are put forward in the elections, how he will win and how to help him. What projects and for what purposes are created, ”Katz wrote in his Livejournal.

“I don’t hold on to my chair, I’m ready to free him for a worthy person, but I don’t think Katsa. We will not let the branch of the Moscow City Hall to make the department "
To achieve the goal, Maxim Katz has a clear tactic, and he does not hide it. In the Moscow “Yabloko” there are only 399 people, if a little more join the department, there are opportunities to change the leadership. Katz aims to recruit 540 new Yabloko members who will help change the leadership. First, the heads of district party branches change, then the city conference is convened.
“I joined the Yabloko party two weeks before the elections, met this party well during the campaign, I liked what was happening there. Since I have a public organization (“City projects.”-NT) and some support of my audience, I urged my supporters to join the party. As it turned out, there are only 399 members in the Moscow branch of the party, and, it seems to me, this is about the same as my supporters will enter there now. Therefore, I stated that I would apply for the post of chairman of the Moscow branch in order to somehow stimulate my supporters to join the party and carry out reforms there, which seem correct to us from the point of view of the organization of affairs, ”explains Maxim Katz NT.
He also calls the specific misses of the capital's apple trees - a defeat in the 2014 Moscow City Duma elections, when the party did not hold a single representative to the Moscow parliament, and a bad result in the 2012 municipal elections (37 out of 1500). Katz believes that this happened due to the "poorly conducted nomination of candidates and a poorly conducted campaign."
“The matter is not in my claims or their mistakes, but in how to act. It seems to me that our team has the experience of conducting election campaigns, socio-political activities, a fundraising, which the current team of the Moscow branch does not have just their other background, ”says Katz NT.
He assures that he acts strictly within the framework of the charter and does not intend to hold any negotiations with the current chairman Sergei Mitrokhin.
“We in the department with humor are treated with the intentions of Maxim Katz. I met new people, we will work with them. It is not clear what Katz wants to achieve, the chairmanship is a skill interest, but what's next? I do not hold on to my chair, I am ready to free him for a worthy person, but I do not think Katsa. We will not allow the branch of the Moscow City Hall to make the branch, ”says NT Mitrokhin, hinting at the cooperation of“ city projects ”with officials from the government of Sergei Sobyanin.
“A license to nominate candidates for elections without collecting signatures to the State Duma is valuable. Moreover, Yabloko, having deputies in the regional-native parliaments, will retain it until the next Duma elections. So the “Yabloko” is some kind of asset in the election of any level. It is unlikely that they will go to serious rebranding, but it doesn’t matter for the Moscow elections. And there you can try in the State Duma in the district of happiness. What are the years old? So I fully understand him. Another question: it is not enough to intercept, we must also hold it, ”says political scientist Konstantin Kalachev.
Unhappy with the results of the elections in the Communist Party: in the last campaign, the Communists became the second in the same way and gained 19.19% of the vote, this year the Reds were not much broken from the LDPR of Vladimir Zhirinovsky and scored a little more than 11.67%.
An article by the Secretary of the Central Committee, the head of the Moscow City Committee of the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Valery Rashkin, “Work on mistakes”, where he discusses those responsible for the result within the party, has already been published on the website of the Communist Party and in the Pravda. Rashkin begins quite diplomatically - indicates the application of the administrative resource, the introduction of elections in single -mandate districts, which led to the fact that the EP had a constitutional majority, to transfer the elections to September, as a result of which the campaign was on the period of vacations.
“Let's remember: we, comrades, are answering not only to the party, we answer to all working people of the country. And it’s a shame to receive the Communists in the elections in Russia, the Motherland of the Great October, 13% of the vote, ”the head of the city committee switches to internal problems.
According to Valery Rashkin, “first of all, the Communist Party is faced with the task of strengthening the real protection of the interests of a person of labor”, he proposes to strengthen the interaction of the Communists with independent trade unions and “contribute” to the creation of their All -Russian organization.
“More and more people, due to the growing crisis, are concerned about the state of affairs in the country and their material situation. The number of poor in our country reaches 70%. These are two -thirds of the population! But many of them either did not come to the polls or did not vote for us. Why? I think the reason lies in the fact that people are tired of criticism, not supported by actions, ”says Rashkin.

By action, he does not mean the “real deeds” of United Russia, but rather the softness of the Communists themselves. “We competently criticized the actions of the government, but did not clearly advocate for its resignation. It is not too late to do this. I have not expressed the Communist Party of the Communist Party to the President’s course and to the state structure of the country. There is no need to count on support from the federal government and the fact that it will adopt our advanced ideas. Strategically, our party is not a friend, but the enemy of the current oligarchic system. The support of the head of state is used by United Russia, the Communist Party will never receive such support. The Kremlin will “breed” us, to include consensus, and ultimately it will swallow and will not even spit out the bones, ”Rashkin assures either the partners or voters.
The main Moscow communist is hinting at the unsuccessful use of the images of Stalin and Lenin in the agitation, which distinguished these elections. “To obtain broad folk support, it makes sense to clearly determine some of our positions on historical issues. If they do not matter much for the political struggle at the present stage, then not to concentrate their attention on them, so as not to repel voters from us, ”says Rashkin.
As NT managed to find out, not only Valery Rashkin, but also another State Duma deputy from the Communist Party, Vladimir Kashin, who has a strong influence, and politicians close to him, did not suit the election results. “They do not like the distribution of passing places in the lists, many went to young bureaucrats from the environment of Gennady Zyuganov, and not to the old party members or honored regionals,” the NT interlocutor summarizes in the party.
"The position of Mironov as a party leader was determined not by his personal rating, but by the presence of access to the first persons of the country"
“Rashkin was one of Zyuganov’s likely successors, but after the weak performance of the Communist Party in Moscow and the loss of Rashkin himself to Peter Tolstoy himself is now difficult to talk about this, so the communist’s activity is understandable,” says political strategist Valentin Bianchi.
In “Fair Russia”, no no one denoted dissatisfaction with the dissatisfaction, but one of the regional deputies from the party told NTNA the conditions of anonymity that there was discontent of the sponsors. “They did not pass some of the people who shared money for the campaign, - Denis Volchek in St. Petersburg, Abubakar Arsamakov in Voronezh, Mikhail Serdyuk in Khanty -Mansi Autonomous Okrug, and the list is not exhausted by these names,” the parliamentarian says.
Konstantin Kalachev considers the discontent of the sponsors “fair Russia” is understandable. “So far, the decrepiting Sergei Mironov remains at the head of the party, while he controls the intra -party procedure and prevents the effective modernization, the adaptability of the organization in the medium and long -term perspective. Obviously, the position of Mironov as a party leader was determined not by his personal rating, but by the presence of access to the first persons of the country. But this, as before, is no longer working, and the result of the party is determined, including the rating and abilities of the leader. SR is now in the risk zone, the support of the party fluctuates at 5-6 percent. Getting into the next State Duma without rebooting is doubtful, ”he argues. However, the expert evaluates the chances of “rebooting” as low.
According to Konstantin Kalachev, party riots will be continued only with “blessing from above”. “The presence of discontent does not mean a plan,” he concludes. AP plans for party reform are not yet known. After the elections to the State Duma, at a meeting of the leaders of parliamentary factions with Vladimir Putin, proposals for reducing the number of parties sounded, the president promised to think.
Valentin Bianchi draws attention to the fact that the inertial potential of parties and political systems as a whole has been exhausted. “New political managers understand this. Most likely, there is, possibly, decorative, but updating the party system from the AP, ”Bianchi predicts.
