The first, led by Andrei Piontkovsky (radicals): it is necessary to continue demanding re-elections to the State Duma, the resignation of Vladimir Putin, and the implementation of deep political reforms.

[3] The second, led by Ksenia Sobchak (moderate): it is necessary to remove anti-Putin slogans, demand specific reforms (judicial, electoral, constitutional), thereby influencing the authorities.

[4] As a result, at the second meeting of the CS, a working group was created, which included Vladimir Ashurkov, Andrei Piontkovsky, Sergei Parkhomenko, Alexei Gaskarov, Boris Nemtsov, Gennady Gudkov, and Konstantin Krylov.

On 29 November 2012, Mikhail Khodorkovsky transmitted a message through his representative to all members of the Coordination Council, in which he expressed his opinion about the emerging "split" in the CS.

In addition, specialists in the field of Internet technologies Anton Nosik and Ilya Segalovich, founder of the votepoller.com voting website Valentin Preobrazhensky, member of the board of the Foundation for the Development of Electronic Democracy Maxim Osovsky, and member of the council of the Sonar movement Olga Feygina were included in the committee as experts.

At this time, a chain of solitary pickets with placards dedicated to protesting against political repression in Russia will line up from the FSB building on Lubyanka Square to the headquarters of the Investigative Committee on Technical Lane.

[16][17] On 27 October, the first meeting of the Coordination Council of the Opposition was held in Moscow from 12:00 for two and a half hours under the chairmanship of Alexey Navalny.

Decisions were made on the regulations, the date of the "March of Freedom" on 15 December was named, the responsible secretary Dmitry Nekrasov was approved, and more.

At it, a programmatic statement was adopted, based on the text "On the Goals and Objectives of the CSO", prepared by a group consisting of Vladimir Ashurkov, Alexey Gaskarov, Boris Nemtsov, and Sergei Parkhomenko.

An alternative programmatic statement "Our goal is a free democratic Russia" was proposed by a group consisting of A. Dolgih, A. Illarionov, I. Konstantinov, A. Piontkovsky.

The participants of the meeting honored the memory of Alexander Dolmatov, a defendant in the "Bolotnaya" case, with a minute of silence.

In particular, about the organization of the "March against the Executioners" in the spring of 2013 g. An amendment on the need to eliminate the system of political investigation in Russia received a majority of 27 votes.

Sergey Udaltsov was supposed to chair, but shortly before the meeting, by a decision of the Basmanny Court, he was placed under house arrest.

At the end of February, CC member Rustem Adagamo announced that he had moved to Prague, where he would "engage in photojournalism, write in a blog".

The reason was disagreement with the absentee procedure for electing the responsible secretary of the CC and financial support for the transmission of Leonid Parfyonov.

Marat Davletbaev, who previously worked at Gazprom and Inter RAO UES, was elected as the Responsible Secretary of the CCO.

It was decided to put the issue of supporting a single candidate from the opposition for the post of Mayor of Moscow to an online vote in "Democracy 2": Alexei Navalny or Sergey Udaltsov.

[39][40] State Duma deputy Dmitry Gudkov, ex-deputy Gennady Gudkov, journalist Sergei Parkhomenko, leader of the "Movement in Defense of the Khimki Forest" Evgenia Chirikova and organizer of mass protest rallies Pyotr Tsarykov announced that they were leaving the CCO and did not intend to run for it in the fall of 2013.

To register, candidates needed to collect 20 signatures of residents and answer questions from the "political compass", compiled on the problems of the city.

[47] In June 2013, chess player and politician Garry Kasparov announced that he was leading the "We Choose" committee in support of fair elections in Iran.

Here are some notable suggestions: The collection and rating of questions to the CC members and the CEC were started in the Google Moderator system.

According to Ryzhkov, the shortcomings of the elections to the CC are: 1) the social base is not expanding; 2) it was not possible to maintain the broad coalition that was declared in December 2011 (Yabloko, CPRF, Prokhorov's party, Kudrin's group, etc.

[56] One of the leaders of the "Solidarity" movement Vladimir Bukovsky considers the election of the CC to be a mistake of the opposition: "This is an absolutely pointless waste of time and effort.

[57] Political scientist Alexander Kynev commented on the results of theCC elections as follows: "The overly Moscow and clique-like nature of the Coordinating Council of the Opposition is a clear image problem.

In fact, the elected CC consists of roughly the same people who organized Moscow's protest actions over the past year".

In this sense, the Coordination Council is a useful body, which, thanks to the political debates that are taking place there, opens the eyes of many people.

Having so shamelessly revealed their class and ideological prejudices, these people, in my opinion, forever deprived themselves of the moral right to coordinate the joint struggle of various currents of the protest movement....[61] According to political scientist Igor Semyonov, liberalism prevailed in the CCO, which also prevails in protest Moscow in general.

[63] From 15 to 18 March 2013, the Levada Center conducted an all-Russian survey on behalf of "Gazeta.ru" regarding the attitude of Russian residents towards the Coordination Council.

[64] On 24 December 2012, a petition with a demand to close the Coordinating Council of the Russian Opposition was posted on the whitehouse.gov website as part of the project of appeals from the public to the administration of the US President We the People, since this organization "spends too much money from American taxpayers without positive results" ("Coordinating Council of Opposition spend too many U.S. taxpayers' money without positive effect").

CCO member, journalist Sergei Parkhomenko called the petition to close the CC a joke, and on 26 December, it was removed from the website.
