Rodina ( Russian Родина , fatherland / home ) is a left-wing nationalist party in Russia , which formed a faction in the local parliament ( Duma ) from 2003 to 2006. Rodina was founded by Vladimir Putin as a competitor to the KPRF in order to take away part of the vote from the communists. The KPRF then slipped in favor of the voters.
Content profile
Officially, the party described itself as a national conservative and a friend of the Orthodox Church .
The official priorities in Rodina's program were:
- a managed economic policy
- capital formation in industry, especially in high technology
- reducing Russia's dependence on raw material and energy exports
- Overcoming the division in Russian society into rich and poor
- Defense of the national interests and independence of Russia
Rodina liked to appear with left-wing socialist and Russian nationalist tones. She got into the controversial discussion in Russia at the end of 2005 as a result of a television advert hostile to the Caucasus, which led to her being excluded from the elections to the Moscow city parliament and the demand of numerous members of the parliamentary group to classify Jewish organizations in Russia as extremist. In 2006 there were reports of tensions between Rodina and the government, which promptly led to sanctioning interventions by the administration in party life. Critical observers of the Russian government saw the development as a consequence of the fact that the Rodina government project had become too successful and independent and that the ruling party United Russia could have taken votes away.
In March 2015, Rodina, led by Deputy Prime Minister Dmitri Olegowitsch Rogozin and Putin's adviser Sergei Yuryevich Glazyev , organized a gathering of - according to Rodina - "social and political" movements to discuss the preservation of "traditional values" such as family and Christianity . Rodina invited right-wing extremists from all over Europe as well as “experts” such as Jared Taylor , Udo Voigt and Nick Griffin to this meeting .
The FPÖ and the Front National were invited, but did not take part.
History of the party
Rodina emerged in the summer of 2003 from splitting off the communist KPRF and the left-wing nationalist People's Party of the Russian Federation (Narodnaja Partija) and the Russian Christian Democratic Party. In the Duma elections on December 7, 2003, it successfully addressed the poor and the socially disadvantaged with a confrontational election campaign that focused as enemy images on oligarchs , non-Russians and the rich. Half a year after its founding, under chairman Sergei Glazyev, it won 9% of the elections to the Russian State Duma and formed the third largest parliamentary group after the Putin party and the communists. In the following period she worked with Putin's United Russia party .
In 2005, however, she supported protests against a cut in social benefits it had launched, whereupon the relationship between Rodina and United Russia deteriorated. Rodina was expelled from the administration in seven regional elections in the following months, four particularly loyal to the government deputies from Rodina switched to United Russia. At the beginning of 2006, Rodina chairman Dmitri Rogozin resigned.
On 28 October 2006, the party united with the equally pro-government and officially left the national groupings Partija Schisni and Russian Party of Pensioners for Justice to the party Fair Russia : History, pensioners, life ( Russian Справедливая Россия: родина, пенсионеры, жизнь ) to the left side to create a large new party close to the government. This was seen as an attempt by the government to strengthen left-wing competition with the Communist Party.
In September 2012, the party that had actually dissolved with the merger was reactivated, possibly to weaken the Just Russia party, which had now fallen out of favor with the Kremlin .
In the parliamentary elections in Russia in 2016 , the party received a total of 792,226 votes, just 1.51% of the vote. Party chairman Alexei Schuravljow was able to win his constituency Anna in Voronezh Oblast clearly and thus moved into the Duma.
In the 2018 presidential election in Russia , the party did not put up its own candidate, but decided to support the incumbent Vladimir Putin .
