One, indivisible

The “left leg” will become a reflection of the “right” even by name on the eve of the association of the Russian Party of Pensioners (RPP), the party of life and the “homeland”, which should take place on October 28, on the sidelines of the State Duma began to appear on the future program of the Union, distribution of posts and, of course, the name. The newspaper reported that the future party had a working name - "Homeland, pensioners, life: a union of trust."

Yesterday, a source in the State Duma told Gazeta the most likely version of the new name. It is already reliably known that the Union logo will contain the words "homeland", "pensioners", "life", but the first part of the name will be largely consonant with the name of the ruling party. It will certainly be the word Russia. To distinguish the names of “two legs” will only be an adjective to it.

If the "bears" of Russia is "united", then the "relevant left" will become either “ours”, or “beloved”, or “indivisible”.

The Duma source did not want to reveal the full name - apparently, due to the fact that it can give food to the notebooks. According to the interlocutor, today only three people know him: Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Vladislav Surkov, speaker of the Federation Council Sergey Mironov and himself.

It is not surprising, therefore, in the subjects of the association themselves the reaction to the new name was more than restrained. The RPP press service reported that several versions of the name are being developed, but there is no final option or it is still unknown to them. “Even if the party leader does not know this name, then other party members, of course, also cannot know it,” the Party Party of Parties Liana Kakacheishvili told Gazeta.

Representatives of the "Motherland" also had nothing to say.

The preservation in the logo of the main words of the names of the previous three parties was the main condition for each merger participant. In this sense, a new name with the abbreviation of RPGs can cause the discontent of the "Rodants" and "pensioners". After all, it is interpreted not only as “homeland, pensioners, life”, but also as a Russian party of life, whose leader will lead a new alliance. Thus, two out of three will be “deprived” again. But if the “Rodina” bargained at least its charter as the basis for unification, then the RPP leader Igor Zotov, whose batch showed the best among the “relevant left” results in the October elections, can only count on the position of secretary of the Central Council of the party.
