The collapse of the democratic coalition came after a meeting of its board on Wednesday evening. The main stumbling block was the question of the primaries.
The democratic coalition includes Parnassus, “Progress Party”, the party “Democratic Choice”, “Party on December 5,” Libertarian Party and the movement of “Solidarity».
in December, members of the coalition have announced participation in the Duma elections in 2016. The electoral list was planned to create on the basis of the preliminary voting. First, it was to hold primaries in April. After the scandal around the film NTV “Kasyanov day” and recriminations members Parnas about the failure of turnout in the primaries of their timing shifted in May.
NTV film about intimate relationships Mikhail Kasyanov and activist Natalia Pelevine was the catalyst for the internal strife in coalition. On one side stood the team Alexei Navalny and his allies (Vladimir Milov of the “Democratic Choice”, Konstantin Jankauskas from “December 5″ Ilya Yashin – Deputy Chairman of Parnassus). On the other -. Kasyanov and his right hand in the party, deputy chairman Konstantin Parnassus Merzlikin
Claims Democrats together consisted of problems with financing and the inclusion of media and organizational resources for the promotion of the primaries. But the main issue was the appropriateness of giving the first place in the electoral list, Mikhail Kasyanov without his participation in the primaries
These discussions went on democratic coalition meetings of the last three weeks -. April 7, told “Gazeta.ru” Vladimir Milov.
The position of the supporters of Kasyanov’s
Deputy Chairman of Parnassus Merzlikin said that at a meeting on Wednesday once again colleagues have offered to return to the issue of the first number of the list, as well as the mechanism determining candidates for the constituencies:
«But we said that Parnassus sees no reason to revise the basic agreements»
according Merzlikina, Kasyanov opponents position was that the ex-prime minister. allegedly he was ready to provide brand Parnassus, only if he is given the first place in the electoral list. In fact, he says, the logic was to bring in the head of the list of people recognized at the federal level – is not only the leader of Parnassus, but also other
“We began to offer: let the primaries are all presented with a history of” cinema “(the movie” Kasyanov day “-” Times “.), after which, they say, the situation has changed
<. p> Kasyanov told our colleagues, should go to the primaries to pereutverdit legitimacy »
According Merzlikina all this.” negligible logic “:” I think that on the “cinema” we had to answer more greater cohesion and consolidation. ” However, he said, about the collapse of the coalition to speak prematurely: Milov said Wednesday that is removed from the primaries, but his “Democratic Choice” colleagues continue to participate. Not a word is said about the withdrawal from the primaries of candidates from the “Progress Party” and Bulk:
«I have the impression that Alex just will not use its media resources to support the democratic coalition and they have one serious. He expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that we do not agree to their terms. »
The primaries will be held in any case, promises Merzlikin. The demarche of the democratic coalition colleagues he considers “a big mistake, that is, however, not of a fatal nature».
A member of Parnassus Natalia Pelevin, which appears in the controversial film, said “Gazeta.ru”, that “regrets “the decision of the members of the democratic coalition,” Showing the film was a test that the coalition failed. Despite these outrageous things, we had to show that we can stand together, but that did not happen ».
She also believes that the situation with the movie was only for some activists “convenient excuse find a way out, not to participate in the primaries»

The very Pelevin continues to prepare for a campaign to the State Duma on single-mandate constituency Kuntsevskaya Moscow. During her meetings with the people, “no one even remembers” about the film NTV claims Pelevin.
Position minded Navalny
Vladimir Milov of the “Democratic Choice” who was present at the talks on Wednesday, and on the basis of co-starred with primaries saw in position Kasyanov “escalation.” Claims to the former prime minister is that he refused to debate unilaterally extended the primaries. “The crisis over Kasyanov’s figure has reached serious proportions”, – complains policies
Milov says that its main ally in the dispute with Kasyanov was Navalny, but other members of the coalition supported him on board, albeit in softer. forms.
«We have participated in the elections, we communicate with people. Much effort had to spend on it to convince people that Kasyanov – not a bad decision (on the list -. “Times”), even though he is the highest objective of all of us antireyting. Now (after the NTV film -. “Times”), we began to say that there are no prospects, and he did not pick up
It was necessary to find a way out, and the prospect of remaining. five months before the election, to talk to people about the personal life of Mikhail Mikhailovich, and not reforms I do not like.
We would be this ready (to Kasyanov, despite the show of NTV film topped the list . – “Times”), if he went after all the primaries and confirmed voters’ sympathies, but Kasyanov nor per gram not moved. And we see no point in the campaign, which received 0.5% “, -. Milov says
The opposition leader said that during the meetings people wonder why after wiretaps Boris Nemtsov, which were published in 2011, the opened mail Navalny, understanding that for the opposition intelligence services monitor, and other politicians still can not control themselves even before the election. NTV film about Kasyanov and Pelevin inflicted great damage, I’m sure Milov.
His colleague on the “Democratic Choice” Kirill Shulika concludes that the coalition as an electoral bloc no longer exists due to the fact that all participants do not agree with the Parnassus.
the oppositionist believes that Kasyanov’s figure caused obvious difficulties in the work and potential donors did not understand why he should give money, if he has his own. “It was actually a kind of a burden. And the simplest way was just beginning to put it before the fact. But we did not do that, “- emotionally explains Shulika. The current situation with the primaries he regards as “sabotage” – say, Parnassus promised to take up the advertising and promotion of the site, but in the end everything was far from expectations
In this case, the politician is a primary can not be removed, as promised. it to his supporters

not going to star and co-founder of the party “December 5 “Constantine Jankauskas:” We continue to participate in the elections. If we take a different decision, we talked about this let ».
A spokesman for Navalny Cyrus Yarmish was unavailable for comment.
Other democratic coalition problems
The meeting on Wednesday revealed other problems of the coalition. Firstly, its members have not been able to divide single-member districts. Kasyanov, Milov says, has decided to nominate single-mandate constituency in the Central Moscow historian Andrei Zubov. There are going to advance ally Navalny Love Sable and Maria Baronova of “Open Russia” Mikhail Khodorkovsky.
However, on the eve of Merzlikin put on the website of the party paper of the coalition agreement and the list of possible single-mandate on districts (although the signatures in the paper is not) . The lists odnomandatnikov Zubov did not mean Sobol is on Nagatinsky District and the Central nominated by the municipal deputy Yakimanka Valery Filippov and head INDEM Georgy Satarov.
underway serious disputes and on the second and third of the federal list Parnassus rooms . The agreement was that the federal part can be up to six people, said Merzlikin
In this case, three of them have been identified on the basis of primaries and three others -. Are invited to coalition without participating in early voting
One of the three “privileged.” – Kasyanov, with other possible contenders “negotiations are ongoing and it is unclear what the outcome»
. Candidates who are considered Merzlikin refused to name. Sources “Gazety.Ru” in the coalition argue that these places were considered liberal media stars who could be the “locomotives”. In particular, among the figures mentioned in the meetings -. Sister oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov, Irina, a journalist Alexei Pivovarov, Yekaterinburg mayor Yevgeny Roizman, singer Yuri Shevchuk
«Gazety.Ru” A source in the democratic coalition claims that some of its members only the media became aware of these “soft” areas. And the common position of all parties except the Parnas – that it should not be
Milov says that in fact the agreement was as follows: the second and third places will be reserved for people who are not participating in the primaries, only if. coalition will be able to find a strong media candidates.
Kasyanov same, according to opposition, interpreted the agreement as if the second and third numbers list, in any case, will be given out of the primaries.
Meanwhile, the main provisions of the democratic coalition agreement – the document that laid out Merzlikin – clearly states that Kasyanov and two more people get fixed (that is, without taking part in the primaries) space. In these positions, reads the document without anyone’s signature, invited people who have known-federal and gave consent to participate in the campaign. But what if these people do not exist, and who should be invited, is unclear. That is what allows us to treat such an important item in two ways: the supporters of Kasyanov can assume that in any case the second and third places are given without primaries, opponents Parnas leader – that this approach is viable only if there were corresponding media figures
«Yabloko” win
The collapse of the coalition – a big disadvantage for the opposition and one step back, said one of the leaders of the St. Petersburg Parnas Andrei Pivovarov. According to him, for the sake of personal ambition party loses the trust of voters. “One of the important things in modern politics – it is true to its word. It’s really important, and should understand that life does not end in September. Build relationships will continue to be difficult at times, “- he says

Another opposition leader, Igor Drandin calls cause the collapse of the coalition of the violation of democratic procedures: the lack of a clear decision-making procedures, backroom hardware intrigue, conflict some people, the change in the rules and procedures on the move without consulting the members of the coalition
Almost all the leaders. democratic coalition are popular only in narrow circles, and the relatively untwisted Navalny in the elections is not running because it prohibits a law that resembles Nikolay Mironov of the Center for economic and political reforms.
Therefore, the collapse of the coalition with a rating of 1-2% will change little in the electoral field, and the beneficiary is likely to be “Apple”, which accumulated before voting Democratic.
According to the expert, the chance to go to Duma, the opposition would only by combining all the liberal forces.
Navalny himself in the elections can not take part, and his allies to pull the campaign are not able to agree Oleg Ignatov of the Center for Current Politics. Participants democratic coalition not have the resources, experience, good technology, access to the media, charismatic leaders.
Therefore, according to Ignatov, Navalny to win, because if he had stayed in the coalition , the authority would have interpreted the defeat in the Duma campaign, especially as his personal failure
to distance themselves from Parnassus and bet on one or two single-member districts, which can create problems for the government, for the bulk command. – the optimal strategy.
According to Ignatov, people Navalny and several other members of the coalition can agree with the “Apple” to participate in the elections.
The problem, however, can create serious history of the relationship, “Apple “with its former members – Alexei Navalny and Ilya Yashin. Brewers of Parnassus doubt that members of the coalition “sworn” the spiritual leader of the “Yabloko” Grigory Yavlinsky
«The party” Yabloko “sorry about what happened and hope that all will be well, colleagues overcome difficulties”, -. Laconically He commented “Gazeta.ru” head of its press service Ignat Kalinin.
