The actual withdrawal from the election of the party “Parnassus” was one of the major political events of the past week
The opposition had intended to participate in regional elections in Novosibirsk, Magadan, Kostroma and Kaluga. However, everywhere was refused because of invalid signatures in its support. In Kostroma, was arrested by the chief of staff of the local Party Andrei Pivovarov.
Political analysts believe that the “Parnassus” breached the main principle – it is impossible to question the current system of power. In this regard, hopes for any presence of the liberal opposition in the Duma and regional parliaments, even getting smaller. In addition, the fact became clear that Anatoly Chubais, his debate with Navalny clearly went against the trend.
The latest news from Magadan. The local electoral commission official refused to register the list of the Democratic coalition on the basis of “Parnassus”. The reason – a large percentage of defective signatures in support of the party. Earlier, the coalition said it would not fight for seats in the Legislative Assembly of Kaluga region. According to the statement, the opposition in their headquarters introduced provocateurs who deliberately throws fake signatures.
In Kostroma arrested the head of the local headquarters of Andrei Pivovarov. He was trying to verify the signature lists to the police of passport data base of their authenticity. As a result, she became involved in the case of illegal access to state information. He faces up to 4 years in prison.
This can happen in Novosibirsk – there signature collectors complain to law enforcement authorities, that the party members are not paid for their work, did not give the money owed. Manual “Parnassus” accuses the election commissions of political bias. Power in response to claims that the opposition simply can not be honest to collect signatures, breaking the law, but in my defense says about political persecution. But in reality, “Parnassus” simply unpopular.
There are political science findings. Firstly, the figure annoying Navalny, secondly “Parnassus” must abide by the rules of the game – that is, to recognize the inviolability of the existing power structure, political analyst Vladimir Slatinov continues.

The opposition considered the regional elections as a dress rehearsal before the big Duma campaign. The question arises whether it is possible at all involved in the current legal political construction of the liberal opposition. Last time the Liberals – “Yabloko” and SPS – held in the State Duma in the 1999 elections. Accordingly, in 2003, the lower house does without this representation. Nevertheless, it is assumed that the Kremlin, in principle, not opposed to the moderate opposition party of the middle class. However, it is very difficult to find candidates. Prokhorov’s party virtually disintegrated. With the “Parnassus” the question is clear. From a less prominent is the “Yabloko”. What are its prospects meets Vladimir Slatinov.

And of course, that no longer will be no communication with Alexei Navalny. Rumors about the ban mention of his name imperious officials emerged clearly an ulterior motive. Perhaps without his participation at the “Parnassus” could be prospects for at least participate in the elections. And more and more it becomes clear that the debate with Anatoly Chubais, one of the main stimuli were perceived very negatively on top. It remains an open question was whether it is the cause of criminal cases associates head “Rosnano”, but that it has added fuel to the fire – there is actually no question.
