	Rodina - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rodina or Motherland-National Patriotic Union (Rodina - Narodno-Patriotičeskij Sojuz, Партия "РОДИНА") is one of the four parties that control seats in the Russian legislature.
		However, in February 2005 four Rodina deputies, including Dmitry Rogozin, went on a public hunger strike and locked themselves in their offices at the State Duma to protest the social benefit reforms being pushed through by Putin's Government.
		Many suspected this was a tactical decision on Rodina's part to ease pressure from the Kremlin, although a small number of party members in Moscow had been vocal in their criticism of Rogozin's more outlandish nationalist rhetoric.

	Russia, Politics, Rodina - JRL 3-24-06
		Rodina leader Dmitry Rogozin will be ousted at a party congress Saturday and replaced with Alexander Babakov, a wealthy businessman who heads the party's presidium and is closely associated with the Kremlin, senior Rodina members said.
		Rodina has since emerged as a strong political force, and Rogozin clearly upset the Kremlin and fellow party members by adopting a passionate opposition voice -- particularly by hitting the streets with the Communists and Yabloko to protest the monetization of state benefits last year.
		Rodina was also barred from seven races for regional legislatures on March 12, but it ran in a vote for the Altai republic's legislature and placed second, just behind United Russia.

	World Threats
		A rival party took Rodina to court and got the Rodina Political Party stricken from the ballot before the election by citing the Rodina television commercials as inappropriate and thus unlawful.
		Rodina proposed a one-time windfall tax, such as on education and medicine, deemed necessary for the public good.
		Rodina's time yet may not have come, but I suggest that it indeed may be coming.

	Who Really Won In Moscow
		It is not unreasonable to suggest that Rodina purposely ran its television ads to create controversy with the foreknowledge (and acceptance) that it could be banned from running candidates in the election.
		Rodina is a different kind of party -- it is a party of motion and action.
		Rodina could turn the tables on the LDPR by saying that Zhirinovsky is truly a clown and when push comes to shove, always supports the status quo in favor of the Kremlin.

	Russia Profile - Russia Profile’s Weekly Experts’ Panel: “Rodina-gate” and Moscow’s City Duma election (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		During the election campaign, the nationalist party Rodina ran a very controversial television ad that has been widely condemned as racist and purposely designed to incite racial tension in a city that is populated by millions of members of ethnic minorities.
		Rodina was designed as a “taxi party” by the Kremlin to steal votes away from the Communists in the 2003 parliamentary vote.
		Rodina was edged out of the Moscow Duma election campaign not for the reasons contained in the legal brief brought against it – inciting interethnic antagonism in its campaign television ad – but because it dared to stand in open opposition to the Kremlin.

	Is Rodina a New Ally for the Turkmen Opposition?
		Although it initially positioned itself as a supporter of the Kremlin and President Vladimir Putin, Rodina is now moving over to the opposition on many issues, and is critical of the Russian government’s foreign policy.
		Rodina faction leader Dmitry Rogozin gave a number of interviews in which he said Russia’s oil revenues and the Stabilisation Fund would more than suffice to allow the authorities to earmark funds to help the Russian pensioners or even to bring them back to their historical homeland.
		Rodina’s stance is not opportunistic – on previous occasions the faction has mounted campaigns both in the Duma and in the press to defend the interests of compatriots abroad.

	Russia, Government, Politics, Rodina Party - JRL 11-17-05
		The creation of the Rodina bloc was universally viewed as an attempt on the part of the Kremlin to weaken the Communist party (KPRF) by appealing to the same voters.
		The 9% of the vote collected by the Rodina in December 2003 was characteristically close to the 12% lost by the KPRF, as compared to the previous Duma election (12.6% in 2003 vs. 24.3% in 1999).
		The two sides of the Rodina ¬ loyalty to Putin and opposition to the government ¬ finally collided in January 2005, when the Duma began debating the implementation of the law on monetization of benefits, which just took effect and caused widespread public protests.

		Russian Supreme Court has upheld the decision of a Moscow City court banning the Rodina party from the city elections.
		Rodina proved that it was the publisher’s mistake, that the phone number appeared on the brochures, but the court reaffirmed the Moscow City court decision, adding that the video “promoted racism and national hatred”.
		Federal elections are just couple years away, and maybe this apparent setback for Rodina wasn’t just the result of a mistake, but a very clever calculation, which will gain them an enormous amount of votes in Russia in two years from now.
