The Kremlin started a kind of casting of political projects of a left-patriotic orientation, which will be allowed to light up during the election campaign in the State Duma in 2011. Thus, within the framework of the "demonstration of democracy" the number of registered parties in Russia may increase. Now there are only seven such parties: "United Russia", "Fair Russia", the LDPR, the Communist Party, "Yabloko", "Patriots of Russia" and "The right business", recalls the independent newspaper .
On Monday, the Ministry of Justice submitted documents for registration of the new party "Russian United Labor Front" ("Rot Front"), said the coordinator of the Left Front movement Sergei Udaltsov. And at the end of January - documents on the creation of the party "Homeland: common sense". It is possible that in anticipation of the elections, Dmitry Rogozin, who now occupies a high post of the representative of the Russian Federation under NATO, is an extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador, will return to the domestic policy and the former leader of the already existing “Motherland”.
Chairman of the Organizing Committee of the New Structure "Homeland: Common Meaning" - Director of the Institute of Problems of Globalization Mikhail Delyagin. One of the members of the Committee is a scandalous futurologist -fascist Maxim Kalashnikov , known for being able to attract the attention of President Dmitry Medvedev, leaving a record of modernization in his blog.

- Medvedev allowed to create fractions even from one deputy
The creators assure that this polytstructure will serve as the beginning of a megazhot, which will implement the project of electronic democracy. Thus, the new party will try to compete with the Communist Party and "Fair Russia" in the Duma elections.
Delyagin claims that the real headache for the Kremlin is precisely the "fair Russia", not the LDPR and the Communist Party. The Communists, according to him, are proven personnel. "Fair Russia" is not controlled by the Kremlin, since she has a personal friend of Putin. In addition, managerial chaos is inside the party, ”says the economist.
According to his forecasts, “Fair Russia” will sharply reduce representation in the new composition of the lower house, having received one or two mandate as a small party. The latest regional elections have shown that the SSRs are really balancing on the verge of a passing barrier.
In addition, the new "homeland" may be able to squeeze the LDPR, as it uses exclusively patriotic rhetoric, which is traditionally exploited by liberal democrats, the publication notes.
As for Dmitry Rogozin, he can act in a slightly different role than before, during his party leadership. The NG source, close to the Kremlin, did not rule out that this fall he would have to leave his high position, which "cannot be occupied for too long."
Rogozin himself, in an interview with the newspaper, rejected the option of his return to the leader of a party, saying that "he no longer plays these games." "At one time, being the leader of the faction and the vice -speaker of the Duma, I was convinced - the parliament is not the best place to influence the situation in the country. The much greater power is focused in executive structures," he said.
For the sake of democracy, power can bring into great politics even scandalous "communists of St. Petersburg"
Meanwhile, as notes the publication, creating a new batch from scratch is not so easy. For its registration, it is necessary to have regional branches in more than half of the subjects of the Federation. The minimum party should be at least 45 thousand people.
The deputy director of the Institute of Social Systems Dmitry Badovsky believes that there is very little time left to create new political projects before the 2011 elections. According to the expert, first of all, the Kremlin needs to decide what to do with the registered small batches: "apple", "right business", "patriots of Russia". How to rebuild them, update so that they can play some role during the election campaign.
In any case, no one is going to dissolve these structures, a source close to the State Duma shared with the “independent newspaper”. He did not rule out that the timely appearance of new leaders will help to reanimate them. By the way, according to Rogozin, the main trouble of small parties is precisely the absence of bright leaders, and the current "lacks talent or male hormones."
The presidential administration has several more projects that may act in the elections in the role of spoilers. For example, the "Communists of St. Petersburg" , famous for their odious statements and absurd actions, or the public movement "For the Motherland".
However, as expert Dmitry Badovsky points out, the Kremlin must first of all decide which place in the new Duma will be reserved for United Russia. If the bet is made on the constitutional majority, then it is dangerous to display spoilers, since they will delay the voices of not only opposition parties, but can harm United Russia.
“An increase in the number of spoilers can spur the activity of a critical electorate, which used to prefer not to go to the elections,” he said to the publication. “It is clear that these people will not vote for the party in power.”
But if the Kremlin decides that for the EP there is enough simple majority, that is, a control package - just above 50%, then the appearance of spoilers can be considered a very likely business, the expert is sure.
