Pre-election search for the meaning of life

During the Duma election campaign, the Rus party addressed Vladimir Putin with an open letter entitled "Conversation about the national idea."

In addition to outlining the movement's election program, it contained, in particular, the following: the party believes that "no great power can exist without meaning to its life... But Russia lives without meaning." "Give us meaning!" - addresses the party to the president. She herself declares her readiness to "offer the great goal of modern Russia", which, apparently, lies in the fact that "Russia is called to a great future, and ... great Russia is a fair and safe and moral society, it will not work out otherwise !"

In addition, it is noted that for a Russian person "justice is above the law," "in the Russian mind, everything is moral. Even business . "

Judging by the fact that further explanations follow "what ... to rely on in achieving the great goal and what ways to go towards it", all of the above is the "national idea" from the ORP "Rus".
