Let us recall that Mikhail Prokhorov and the current leadership of the party headed by Rifat Shaikhutdinova year ago sharply divided on the Ukrainian question. “Civic Platform” supported the annexation of Crimea to Russia. However, the “boiling point”, which led to a split, was the participation of the party in the February meeting of the movement “Antimaydana”.
This behavior of their own party members and recent minded founder of the party described as a “betrayal” and on March 13 announced its withdrawal from the party . His example was followed by the majority of members of the federal civil and political committees. Billionaire proposed to eliminate their offspring, or at least change the name of the party.
However, the key word was for the regional offices “SE”, because they – the basis of the party. And most of them, as proved yesterday’s conference, eventually came to the conclusion that the split will not harm, but in favor of the party. Thus, according to the representative of the Belgorod region, “SE” stands “on the strong regional offices, rather than Moscow party.” “At last batch of tracks today began to turn into a butterfly” – he said. “What party is different from bomondnoy party? The fact that she has to work out a common position. And if you are a member of a party that has developed a different position, you can leave” – agreed the representative branch of the Yaroslavl region.
Regionals in their speeches noted that Prokhorov has in fact engaged in a year is not a party.
The result marked Shaikhutdinov: Due to split the party lost members in only four of the 58 regional offices. “At the moment, the party went from 37 819 members, with 112 people was taken,” – he said.
“The era ended Prokhorov”
“Most parties adopted a definite position on the Crimea. However, a number of members of the civilian committee continued to condemn its accession. You can not live a year in limbo,” – said the representative of the department of the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

With the departure of Mikhail Prokhorov and his associates in the organization ceased “confusion and vacillation”, announced on its part, Rifat Shaĭkhutdinov. “No fight is heating up, we are not fighting with the government of Russia. We do not have to fight with the government, and for power and for its share in power. And we will get its share in the parliament”, – declared the head of the Political.
He called “Civic Platform” to disassociate themselves from those who assumed the title of the Liberals, to state clearly on the approval of the Crimea to Russia and support the residents of Donbass.
“I think that the first chance for the party appeared, because there is a real a request from the country and the voter that there was such a party – right-wing liberal, but patriotically oriented “, – says Shaikhutdinov.
According to him, the situation is changing rapidly, and” it is clear that those who are not in the trend of the situation that is developing, taking off and becoming marginalized “.
” The era of Prokhorov ended. It is necessary to clarify for myself. I believe that this fat plus – we have eliminated a major obstacle to the elections in 2016 “- said the head of the Political.
At the party conference was drafted resolution, which was unanimously supported by members of the regional offices of” Civic Platform “. The document states that “Civic Platform” goes to the elections to the State Duma in 2016.
In addition, the resolution clearly marked position – Party supports the reunification of the Crimea, and also in favor of support for residents of Donbass in defending their rights to self-determination.
The document also notes that members of the party “against color revolutions” and against the “splicing oligarchic elite state apparatus”.
Almost all spoke, except units expressed for the preservation of the name “Civic Platform”. As arguments sounded that the name belongs to all members of the party, not its founder. Many heads of departments stated that too much has been invested in the awareness of the brand to give it up. Regionals also reminded that before the elections to the State Duma there are not a lot of time and change the name simply unreasonable.
The party not only does not give up, but also intends to expand the quantitative and qualitative composition. “We have a lot of letters from different segments of the population who, after determining our position said that they with us along the way,” – said Shaikhutdinov. Prior to the Party Congress, scheduled for April 17 party members are going to decide on the management team.
“assemblage point” or spoiler?
If the party is clearly defined in their right-wing liberal, but the patriotic convictions, it would have on this site to press the part of the electorate “United Russia” and the Liberal Democratic Party, according to the “GP”.
Many of the politicians give the parties the chance, though, and evaluate them differently . Head of Fund “Institute of Socio-Economic and Political Studies” Dmitry Badovskiy not rule out that the “SE” can become a “point of assembly” patriotically oriented liberals.
Political analyst Dmitry Orlov believes that the party will be able to continue to exist if will be a new energetic leader with money who can support this structure. “Then there will be a project in the” Apple “a long time” – he said. Otherwise, the “Platform” could face the fate of Party-a “spoiler”.
Professor RANHiGS under President Vladimir Slatinov suggested that a difficult situation for the party has arisen due to the changed political situation in the country. “When was annexed the Crimea and began the history of Ukraine – that is, there was a massive upsurge of patriotism – the relevance of the party urban middle class has fallen significantly,” – said Slatinov. The expert did not rule out that if the party does not close, then “it in some such form can continue to exist,” but will not play a major role of the federal.
The political scientist believes that the fate of the party was sealed before how Shaikhutdinov made statements at variance with the views of the founder. “It really was a promising political project, but it was promising to exactly the moment when Prokhorov was interested in them seriously and while there he invested significant resources, and above all, his personal life, while Prokhorov was going to more or less actively involved in politics” – said the expert. After that, he said, the party “has begun to wither,” it began, “the personnel reshuffle and organizational turmoil”.
According to a member of the Public Chamber Sergei Markov, a role played in the incident and the personal qualities of Prokhorov. “Another basic thing is the persistent inability to realize Prokhorov independently large projects. No one successful independent projects we do not know,” – said political scientist, recalling in this regard, in particular, failed to E-mobility.
