List of political parties in Russia

The party's electorate includes a substantial share of government employees, pensioners and military personnel, who are dependent on the state for their livelihood.

In the run-up to the 2011 Duma elections, it was reported that support for United Russia was growing among young people.

The question was "Is it necessary to dissolve the United Russia party with the inability of its members to participate in political life in the future?"
