The draft charter of the "Young Guard" became known

Kommersant has obtained a draft charter for the Young Guard of United Russia movement , the newspaper reported in its issue dated November 10, 2005.

As follows from this draft charter, the organizational structure of the movement resembles that of the army. The supreme body of the movement is the congress, to which the central headquarters is subordinate. In the subjects of the federation, the supreme body is the conference, and the executive body is the headquarters. Federal corps commanders will coordinate the work of the regional headquarters. The function of the corps from the draft charter is not clear, but, apparently, the corps will unite several regional branches in the manner of military districts.

In terms of ideology, the goals of the Young Guard are akin to the tasks of the Nashi movement, whose main messages are "preserving the sovereignty and integrity of Russia", "modernizing the country" and "forming a functioning civil society." However, Nashi's organizational structure is much simpler.

As it became known to the correspondent of the newspaper, the regions are actively recruiting 'guards'. " About a month ago, two young men came to our university , - said a student of one of the regional universities, - and offered me to become a member of a new political movement with great prospects" According to the narrator, the recruiters were only interested in those students who go in for sports in order "at the upcoming congress to support Ivan Demidov, who will head the Young Guard, and prevent possible provocations against the participants of the meeting . "

Kommersant reports that Konstantin Kostin, deputy head of the executive committee of United Russia and public adviser to deputy head of the presidential administration Vladislav Surkov, said that "this draft charter, with the exception of certain terms, has nothing to do with reality" and advised "to wait for the founding congress of the movement " , which will be held in Voronezh on November 16, 2005.
