Xenophobic potential of elections - 2007

Even before the start of the 2007 election campaign, experts predicted the widespread use of xenophobic rhetoric during the election campaign and competition in the field of xenophobia, as one of the few in which it is still possible to compete with United Russia. We tried to at least superficially analyze the lists of candidates from various parties submitted to the Central Election Commission for the presence of candidates in them who are already in one way or another known for their xenophobic statements and actions. There were quite a few of them - 100 people. Although we are aware that this is far from the full xenophobic potential of the ongoing election campaign: not all candidates are known to us, and we have not studied all the lists of parties.

This review includes 5 parties in which the xenophobic component is most pronounced:

• Just Russia

• Communist Party of the Russian Federation

• LDPR

• Patriots of Russia

• People's Union

Candidates are mentioned under the numbers under which they are included in the corresponding regional lists.

A JUST RUSSIA

A Just Russia has a short history, and it gives no reason to say that the party systematically uses xenophobia as a political resource. But the practice of forming party activists using the “pine-forest-by-pine” method could not help but bring active nationalists to the election list.

Communist Party of the Russian Federation

At the plenum of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation on March 24, 2007, party leader Gennady Zyuganov announced his intention to “raise the Russian question in a broad aspect,” recalling that the party “put it on the agenda back in 1991” and has been constantly addressing it since then. G. Zyuganov's speech also said that the party should not allow anyone - from United Russia to "the most reactionary forces" - to ride the "Russian question." Zyuganov proposed to the Communist Party of the Russian Federation itself to speak out in defense of Russian culture, to develop the concept of “Russian socialism”, and in the future to concern itself with such tasks as “a breakthrough to the Baltic, gathering Russian lands and access to the Black Sea”, etc.

It is significant that in the samples of election campaigning that we currently have, the “Russian question” is raised not by the candidates included in the list, but by people who have no direct connection to the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. For example, in the September special issue of the Pravda newspaper, a programmatic xenophobic article by the chairman of the Union of the Russian People (RRN), General Leonid Ivashov, was published.

Sergei Baburin, who headed the “NS” list, did not previously have a reputation as an ultra-rightist, and his “Narodnaya Volya” was a moderate nationalist formation. However, in the last year and a half, both S. Baburin himself and the activities of his organization in a number of regions have not just tightened their public rhetoric. S. Baburin, and with him the second number in the federal part of the list of the “People's Union”, into which “Narodnaya Volya” was transformed in the spring of 2007, Viktor Alksnis (is not an ethno-nationalist, adheres to pronounced imperial positions) began to directly cooperate not only with extremely radical “old” national patriots, but also with outright neo-Nazis.
