Proposed merger with Progress Party (Russia)[edit]

Merge The membership, leadership and most of the aspects are the same, the sole difference in practice is the name. --Ivario (talk) 12:07, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Opposition Leader[edit]

The post of opposition leader is generally reserve for the biggest opposition party of the legislative branch of the government. In the case of Russia, Duma represents the legislative branch. Three major opposition parties in Duma in Russia are the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (42 seats), the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (39 seats), and A Just Russia (23 seats)^[1]. A journalist from NYT does not have the right to decide who is the elected leaders from another country. Only people from Russia can decide that. I see similar "mistakes" "misleading" and "deliberate misinformation" from articles from these "reputable" publications. We are here to provide the most accurate information and not to support the political games of the west or Russia. I believe "opposition politician and a leader" is more appropriate usage considering "an opposition leader" almost always displays as "the opposition leader" in every major search engine. This is an unacceptable distortion of facts.Lipwe (talk) 10:52, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Lipwe: please, familiarise yourself with this content guideline - Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Reliable sources (RS) generally refer to Navalny as "opposition leader". If you think that some RS are unreliable and you have evidence of that - you can start a discussion there - Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. If you personally disagree with how RS call him - it is also okay, but it should not affect the article, since original research is unacceptable.--Renat 11:17, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Has the party dissolved?[edit]

In the Italian wiki there are users who talk about the dissolution of the party. I found this on the Russian wiki,[1] but the international media doesn't seem to talk about it. What do you think about it? Should we report about this in the article or it is better to wait?--Mhorg (talk) 13:06, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Operations of Navalny's HQ is suspended, but it is still not yet officially banned. Mellk (talk) 13:22, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Mellk. But I still don't understand if this HQ is another way to call the party "Russia of the Future".--Mhorg (talk) 13:48, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

HQ just refers to his political movement, which has regional offices across the country, and includes the Russia of the Future party. Mellk (talk) 15:02, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting... thank you.--Mhorg (talk) 08:51, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No. Banned does not mean dissolved. There are many Category:Banned political parties that continue to function in exile or otherwise. My very best wishes (talk) 15:05, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, Navalny's team has just now dissolved the HQ in advance of expected "extremist" labelling. Mellk (talk) 09:20, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The party website partyprogress.org also seems to have been taken offline. Mellk (talk) 09:24, 29 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that "Navalny’s network" [of independently registered organizations] is NOT this party. As about this party, it was never officially registered at the first place, hence there is nothing to ban or close. My very best wishes (talk) 14:19, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
