Fair Russia party rules out merging with the Communist Party
Direct translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] In the foreseeable future, the unification of such parties as "Fair Russia - Patriots - For Truth" (SR) and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is out of the question, said candidate for the State Duma from Fair Russia, Alexander Tarnavsky at a round table in Moscow.

Tarnavsky explained his position by the fact that such associations imply the absorption of a stronger party by a weaker one. Now, neither Fair Russia, nor the Communist Party of the Russian Federation are so weak as to be swallowed up by one another.

"I think that in the near future it is impossible. And for obvious reasons. Everyone wants to unite for themselves. I am friends with many representatives of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. There are different teams. Ideologically, it is possible to expand, but in such a way that one swallows up the other, it is impossible that way. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation has its own ideology, respectfully speaking, we will not grow together. And this will not be possible in the near future," Tarnavsky said.

At the same time, according to the leader of A Just Russia - For the Truth, Sergei Mironov, the union of the SR and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation would help to defend the interests of citizens more successfully, but it is impossible under the current leadership of the Communist Party.

Earlier, Zakhar Prilepin, the co-chairman of A Just Russia - For Truth, made a proposal to integrate the left-wing forces.

The ballot paper for voting in the federal electoral district will include the LDPR, "Communists of Russia", "Fair Russia - Patriots - For Truth", the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, "Civic Platform", the Russian Party of Freedom and Justice (RPSS), "Rodina", "Greens" , Green Alternative, Party of Pensioners, Party of Growth, Yabloko, New People and United Russia.
