The RPR-PARNAS party changed its name
The RPR-PARNAS party shortened its name to the "Party of People's Freedom" (PARNAS). This decision was taken at the congress held on July 5. Mikhail Kasyanov, one of the party's co-chairs, said the name was changed for "technological reasons." In addition, at the congress, a temporary change in the party's charter was adopted by a majority of votes. Now, instead of co-chairs, it will be led by a chairman who will have three deputies.
