How New Are the ‘New People’ in Russia’s Parliament? (Vadim Shtepa, The Jamestown Foundation)

October 7, 2021

One of the sensations of the September 17–19 elections in Russia—on the whole absolutely predictable—was the entry of the New People party into the State Duma (lower chamber of parliament). The faction received 5.32 percent of the vote and, accordingly, 13 deputy mandates. This is only a small share of the total number of Duma deputies, which is 450. The United Russia party, in comparison, retained its constitutional supermajority of 324, allowing it to pass all laws entirely on its own.
