Previously, the presidium of the party's central council suspended the powers of all leaders of the St. Petersburg branch. This decision was explained by actions, including by Dmitrieva, that contradict the party charter. According to the leadership of the SR, the bureau of the council under the leadership of Dmitrieva, in the absence of a quorum, decided to exclude representatives of a number of local branches of the party from among the delegates to the conference of the regional branch.

Kommersant previously suggested that this decision by the leadership could be explained by the impossibility of resolving relations between the St. Petersburg governor Georgy Poltavchenko and Dmitrieva, who was not allowed to participate in the elections of the head of the city in September 2014 due to the fact that she was unable to collect the required number of signatures.
