History
[edit | edit source]The creation of the movement "For truth" was announced on 29 October 2019 at a press conference by Zakhar Prilepin, Alexander Kazakov, Vadim Samoilov, Eduard Boyakov and Vladislav Bevza.[7]
The party has called for Russia's annexation of eastern Ukrainian territories as well as the breakaway Georgian regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.[8]
On 30 November 2019, Prilepin confirmed a plan to transform the movement into a political party to participate in the elections.[9]
On 1 February 2020, the founding congress of the party was held. At the congress, Zakhar Prilepin was elected party leader.[10]
On 19 May 2020, the Ministry of Justice added party to the list of parties that can participate in the elections.[11]
The party participated in the 2020 regional elections in five regions. In the Ryazan region, the party received 7% of the vote, winning 2 seats in the regional parliament, and gaining free access to federal parliamentary elections. In other regions, the party received less than 5% of the votes without passing the electoral barrier.[12][13]
