Socialist -Revolutionary Babakov’s desire to get along the list of “United Russia” is evidence of the party’s crisis. Parties feel unreliable positions and begin to look for more reliable options. True, it is too early to bury the Socialist Revolutionaries. But it is just right to bury the party system in Russia - it did not take place.
The Vice Speaker of the State Duma, Socialist-Revolutionary Alexander Babakov apparently still left the party. At least Alexander Mikhailovich Babakov was discovered in the Voronezh list of candidates for primaries to the All -Russian Popular Front.
The situation with Babakov has been in a perch from last week. First, a foggy letter is published, in which Babakov’s estate is announced about leaving the party. Then the Socialist-Revolutionaries begin to refute the message, but with uncertainty in intonations and even periodically some relief “finally got rid of some relief”. Applications for leaving the party are still not written. But Babakov himself is silent and does not want to communicate with the one -party members - the last meeting with one of the Socialist Revolutionaries Nikolai Levich did not take place. Babakov also does not comment on reporters to reporters.

True, the head of the regional election headquarters of the Popular Front, Roman Zhoygov, told Interfax that there were no statements from Babakov to participate in preliminary elections. In general, while the situation continues to be not fully clarified.
Not Babakov himself is interesting here, but a general picture that will reflect his quite probable departure from the party. It consists in the following - from Fair Russia, the outcome of not only ordinary party members, but also party leaders began. The fate of the Socialist -Revolutionaries is also complicated by the fact that Babakov poured his own funds some time ago. Now this source of financing the campaign for the Socialist Revolutionaries will be unavailable.
The outcome of politicians from the political structure is the beginning of its death. Which is logical in modern circumstances. Having got into a conflict situation simultaneously with Valentina Matvienko and the Kremlin, the Socialist Revolutionary leader Sergei Mironov lost his post by the Chairman of the Federation Council. Then, a billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov arose on a political field, who headed the “right business”. Since the United Russia has not yet abandoned the intention to get even the constitutional majority in the State Duma (66 percent of the mandates), it turns out that there are few places in the Duma.
Sociologists are still quite decent to evaluate the chances of the Socialist-Revolutionaries-those, according to the last survey of the Levada Center, almost reach the 7 percent barrier. However, on the eve of the elections, everything can change - competitors will begin to intensify both by activating agitation and due to the personnel composition of the same former Socialist -Revolutionaries.
Former Socialist Revolutionaries Evgeny Roizman have already reached agreements on the inclusion in the list of “right -handed”. In some regions, the flight of the Social Revolutionaries in the EP and the “right -handed business” has already acquired the character of the mass.
It’s another matter that it is too early to put the cross on the Socialist Revolutionaries. The “right business” is still with a rating at the level of 2 percent, which is extremely small for getting into the Duma. As of today, the Socialist Revolutionaries of the Socialist Revolutionaries in the State Duma would not have deprived the united Russia (according to the Levada Center, they would have had 59 percent. If the right-handed business was also underway at the same time, the simple majority of the United Russia would have been under threat, which is not in the Kremlin, nor in the White House. However, Mironov is still a politician of federal scale. operates.
However, the question of the functioning of the Party of SR or other quasi -Particip structures is discussion. As the example of the same Babakov shows, Russian parties are Personalist structures. Mironov’s problems began and immediately the party members began to doubt the prospects of the party and try to agree with the stronger, from their point of view, structures.
In this scheme, Alexander Babakov could join any party or unification in search of a mandate. What is evidence and his long silence - if some “ride” some, you can always agree with others.
