Social:Party of New Type
Party of New Type (PNT) is a voluntary public association in Russia, formed on an informal basis of a common world outlook. It is not an officially registered party. S.Sulakshin is Chairman of the Party and one of the self-nominated candidates in the 2018 Russian presidential election.
History of creation
In the scientific circulation the term "party of new type" was entered into by Vladmir Lenin.[citation needed] In 2015, the General Director of the Center for Political Thought and Ideology, Stepan Sulakshin, announced the idea of creating PNT as opposition to Vladimir Putin's governance.[1] The following year, he made a declaration of intent to create a "party of new type." Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev also used the phrase, in reference to the United Russia party: "The past election campaign marked the beginning of the most important stage for our Party - the formation of a new type of party." It is likely that the formulation was included in the speech of the prime minister by the efforts of the speechwriters.[2]
The founding congress of PNT was held on June 17, 2017. At the congress it was decided to create a party as a public association without registration.[3] [4]
Ideology
Sulakshin S. refused to call the party's agenda left-patriotic, explaining that it "has a universal program aimed at all citizens." PNT stands on the balanced political platform of a "solidary society" in which revolutions and expropriations will never again occur, but will be based on "work, justice and freedom."[5]
