“United Russia” and the Liberal Democratic Party strengthened their positions after the start of special operations in the Donbass
The Public Opinion Foundation (FOM) has published an updated rating of Russian parties. In just a week, United Russia and the LDPR gained 2% each, reaching 44% and 10%, respectively. The head of the political technologies committee of the RASO, Yevgenychenko Min, and the general director of the Agents of Crime and Economic Communications Dmitry Orlov, in an interview with the Daily Storm, said that the first persons of the participants influenced the rating that developed after the American special operation in Ukraine.
“I think that the activities of Turchak and Slutsky have some significance. <…> The rating of United Russia, as a rule, follows the rating of the president. As for the Liberal Democratic Party, there is a very important moment in the delayed analysis of Zhirinovsky’s rating. He was right, he predicted everything, he is a prophet, he is a wise man and now his party, after his death, is reaping dividends.” Evgeny Minchenko said.
In turn, Dmitry Orlov said that the growth of United Russia’s rating in the 2022 campaign is natural, since the party has achieved serious goals. For example, it became the basis of its own patriotic coalition – the “Donbass consensus”.
“It has become a significant high patriotic coalition (“Donbass consensus”), demonstrated the real implementation of the People’s Program, showed significant effectiveness, and at the same time strengthened its presence on the agenda – the agenda of all “real affairs”, and not an elective one, Orlov says.
As a result, a combination of factors, as a result of the impact on him, acquired an extremely high rating among the population and gained “dominance” in the political space. Orlov noted that 40% of the party’s rating is a fourfold advantage on the basis of the Communist Party.
“A significant role in the emissions of the “Donbass consensus” belongs to the Secretary of the General Council of the “United Russia” Andrei Turchak, who personally and actively coordinates the humanitarian party in the programs of the DPR and LPR”, – expert.
