  Russia - Political Parties and Legislative Elections
The CEC declared thirteen parties eligible for the party list, and 2,047 individual candidates were selected to compete for Federation Council seats (490) and State Duma single-mandate seats (1,567), allotted to individuals regardless of their parties' overall performance vis-à-vis the 5 percent threshold.
The main centrist parties were the Yavlinskiy-Boldyrev-Lukin bloc, commonly referred to as Yabloko (the Russian word for apple), headed by economist Grigoriy Yavlinskiy and former ambassador to the United States Vladimir Lukin, and the Democratic Party of Russia, headed by Nikolay Travkin.
Of the thirteen parties participating in the December 1993 legislative elections on the party lists, eight exceeded the 5 percent threshold to win seats in the State Duma.

The party was established on the basis of the Russian National Union which received 0.37 percent of the vote in 1999.
The party was founded in September 2002 as a political wing of the Russia movement.

 Russia's 1993 Parliamentary Elections
Candidates qualified for this election either by being nominated by a party or coalition that had already qualified for the nationwide party list vote or by collecting petition signatures equal to one percent of their electoral district (about four or five thousand).
Under the political circumstances, in a country with eleven time zones, 105 million voters and 95,000 polling sites, it is astonishing these myriad and difficult steps in the election process were achieved mostly on schedule and that elections were held without serious administrative problems.
Russia's recent elections were fairly successful as an administrative matter, but it is not yet certain they represent a step forward in an ongoing process of democratic development.

 Marxist vs. Anarchist Views on Political Parties
The argument of anarchist origin, also taken up by ultraleftist "councilist" currents, according to which political parties are by their very nature "liberal-bourgeois" formations alien to the proletariat and have no place in workers councils because they tend to usurp political power from the working class, is theoretically incorrect and politically harmful and dangerous.
Political parties in that real (and not formal) sense of the word are a historical phenomenon the contents of which have obviously changed in different epochs, as occurred in the great bourgeois-democratic revolutions of the past (especially, but not only, in the great French revolution).
The general poverty and backwardness of Russia and the relative numerical and cultural weakness of the proletariat made the long-term exercise of power by the proletariat impossible if the Russian revolution remained isolated; that was the consensus not only among the Bolsheviks in 19l7-18, but among all tendencies claiming to be Marxist.

 ISCIP - Perspective
If fewer than two party lists succeed in meeting this deadline (presumably because of inability to gather 100,000 signatures), the Duma's at-large contests are to be invalidated and all the single-member constituencies are supposed to be turned into two-member constituencies.
Under Russia's law the at-large seats are apportioned according to the percentage of votes obtained by a party list, without taking into consideration the single-member constituencies won by that party's individual candidates.
The most democratic elements in Russia's arena appear to be particularly obsessed by this nightmare, since several have objected to the validation of political parties by means of signatures accompanied by ID numbers, lest these be used as written evidence if Russia were to revert to the repressive habits of the past.

 Political Parties - Johnson's Russia List 7-29-02
The center-left and nationalist political niches are vacant
Nonetheless, this niche is still vacant: today there is not a single political leader or a serious political party, which could mobilize these 15% of voters and represent their interests in the parliament.
As for the fourth party, there are different opinions: some believe it should be a puppet party in order to accumulate nationalist votes; others think it may be some intermediate party.
