Russia of the Future (Партия Россия Будущего) is a political party founded by its leader, Russian opposition leader and anti-corruption activist Alexei Navalny on 19 May 2018.[1] The party is yet to be formally registered by Russia's Ministry of Justice. Russia of the Future is opposed to Russian President Vladimir Putin and ruling party United Russia. According to Navalny's ally Lyubov Sobol, the goals of the party include "real changes, real reforms," including increased property protections, a fair criminal-justice system, and battling corruption "so that money from the budget does not flow into offshores and is not spent on yachts and palaces." The founding session of the party was attended by 124 delegates from 60 of Russia's regions.[2] The party has a seven-member central committee instead of a chairman.[3]
New Alliances
Due to being put on continuous economical and political pressure by United States and its partners, China and Russia have recently showed interest in increasing cooperation in order to reshape the world and its policies. Their main goal is to protect the neighboring countries by establishing a harmonious arrangement with them, effectively shielding their partners from pathological influence. They plan on doing this through reasserting the role of the states over internal influence causing civil unrests, known as color revolutions. Breaking firm grip of US on its satellites also shapes their plan. According to Navalny, this act is supposedly not going to end well for "Liberal democracies" across the map, even if they never become firm allies.[4]
