Key findings ↑
On 20 September, elections are being held for the heads of eight regions and the legislative assemblies of 39 regions. On average, the level of formal competition in legislative assembly elections is lower than in State Duma elections (the actual situation varies greatly by region).
In the gubernatorial elections in eight regions, 40 candidates were nominated (five per region on average), and 39 were registered (4.875 per region on average). This is the lowest level of competition and initial interest from potential participants in such elections over the entire period of observing elections under the municipal filter system. A situation of extreme over-regulation and a complete absence of “accidental” candidates has emerged: exactly as many are nominated as are registered. Given that, apart from United Russia candidates, all others simply do not initially have the required number of supporters among municipal deputies, the complete coincidence of “nominated-registered” in an almost symmetrical situation across regions looks particularly telling. Non-systemic and uncoordinated candidates do not even attempt to run. The only candidate who dropped out, Sergei Yeskov in Belgorod Oblast, withdrew his candidacy himself the very next day after submitting documents to the election commission. There are no uncoordinated candidates: there is practically no attrition either (one candidate out of 40, or 2.5%). There are also no scandals over non-admission when overcoming the municipal filter: there is no one to obstruct.
Everywhere, incumbents (governors or acting governors) are running from the United Russia party, except in Ulyanovsk Oblast, where the incumbent governor Alexei Russkikh is running from the CPRF. Thus, the rule is maintained: United Russia never nominates candidates against incumbent governors, regardless of whether they are nominated by other parties or through self-nomination. All other parties participate in the elections within a coordinated framework.
Previously, gubernatorial elections were one of the arenas of activity for “small” parties: the authorities often selected competitors from little-known parties, probably believing that candidates from parties with more recognisable brands could receive more votes than when nominating little-known candidates from little-known parties. However, the overall reduction in the number of registered parties and the descent of the remaining ones into “suspended animation” has narrowed the field for manoeuvre: this time, representatives of parliamentary parties dominate among the gubernatorial candidates. Now, out of the 40 nominated gubernatorial candidates, only six are from non-parliamentary parties. The largest number of registered candidates (six each) is in Mordovia and Tver Oblast, the smallest in the Chechen Republic (three).
A significant decline in the level of competition is noted compared to similar elections of regional parliaments in 2021 — in total, 266 lists were nominated in the elections of 39 regional parliaments (6.82 per region on average), for comparison — in 2021 there were 324 such lists (8.3 per region on average). 254 were registered (6.51 per region on average); in the similar elections of 2021 in the same regions, 275 were registered (7.05 on average). These statistics are reminiscent of the 2024–2025 elections.
Attrition between nominated and registered amounted to 12 lists or 4.5% (for comparison — in 2012, dropouts numbered 49 or 15.12%). This level of attrition almost replicates the attrition in the regional elections of the previous year, 2025 (4%), and was even lower in 2024 (2.6%). Behind these figures lies not an increase in the level of democracy, but, as in the case of gubernatorial elections, the flip side of the shrinking number of registered political parties combined with the practical impossibility of registering any lists and candidates inconvenient to regional authorities through signature collection: the compression of competition continues, in most cases down to only party lists and candidates from parties that have a registration privilege. At the same time, even possessing a privilege (exemption from signature collection) is not a guarantee of registration, as exemplified by the refusals to register (or removal through court) of the privileged lists of RDP Yabloko in Karelia, Saint Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast.
Thus, party activity has sharply declined over five years in parallel with the overall reduction in the number of parties, and now the level of formal competition on the ballot in regional elections is close to the situation of the 2000s (with the only difference being that back then there was a large attrition between nominated and registered, whereas now this difference is minimal).
248 out of 266 lists (93.2%) in the legislative assembly elections were nominated by regional branches of parties exempted from signature collection in these regions. For comparison — in the similar elections of 2021, out of 324 lists, 204 were nominated under the privilege (of which all but one were registered), or 63%. Now the share of privileged parties is higher in both absolute and relative terms. Primarily due to the fact that after the September 2021 elections, a fifth parliamentary party, New People, appeared, whose representatives in 2021 registered in the regions by signatures (at that time, this party nominated 32 lists, but only 22 of them were registered).
Only 18 nominated lists were required to collect signatures in these elections. Of the 254 registered lists, 244 (96%) were registered under the privilege, meaning only 10 lists managed to register by signatures. Of the remaining eight, in two cases signature collection was not even started (Rodina in Saint Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast was refused certification of its lists), and in the other six cases the signatures were not submitted for registration — evidently, they could not be collected (Rodina in Primorsky Krai, Nizhny Novgorod, Novgorod and Sverdlovsk Oblasts; Yabloko in Moscow and Tambov Oblasts).
At the same time, only parties and candidates that have constructive relations with the regional authorities register through signature collection. An illustrative example: the nomination and registration of the REP The Greens list in the elections to the Legislative Assembly of Saint Petersburg. The list included representatives of the A Just Russia faction in the Legislative Assembly, led by Marina Shishkina, who left the party in 2023 against the backdrop of cooperation between the party’s federal leadership and Yevgeny Prigozhin.
Under such conditions, the surviving “small parties” have minimised the nomination of candidates. In effect, parties that need to collect signatures have almost ceased participating in elections. Not a single candidate or party list has been nominated for regional parliaments from the Democratic Party of Russia, the party For Justice!, the Party of Progress, the Russian Party of Freedom and Justice, the Cossack Party, or the Party of the Revival of Russia (that is, from six of the 17 eligible to participate in elections — the activities of the 18th, Civic Platform, were suspended on 30 April 2026 by a decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation);
The largest number of lists was nominated in Karelia and Moscow Oblast — 10 each (nine and eight registered, respectively), in Leningrad, Novgorod and Pskov Oblasts — nine each (nine registered in Pskov, eight in Novgorod, seven in Leningrad). The smallest number of lists was nominated in the Chechen Republic and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, with four lists each — not even all parliamentary parties are represented (New People is absent), and there are no others at all. Dagestan, Ingushetia and Mordovia — only lists of the five parliamentary parties;
United Russia, the CPRF, the LDPR and A Just Russia nominated and registered lists in all 39 regions; the New People party did not nominate lists in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug and the Chechen Republic. In total, parliamentary parties account for 193 of the 266 nominated lists (72.6%). Among non-parliamentary parties, the most active was the Russian Party of Pensioners for Social Justice (RPPSS), which nominated 25 lists, all of which were registered. In seventh place is Communists of Russia — they nominated 20 lists, also all registered. Next come Rodina and Yabloko — 12 and 10 regions of nomination, respectively. Both parties suffered the maximum losses during registration; both have five lists registered. REP The Greens nominated and registered five lists. The Party of Direct Democracy nominated a single list in the only region where it has a registration privilege — in the elections to the Legislative Assembly of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast.
On the one hand, the degree of a party’s activity in regional elections is the best indicator of the state of its regional network and shows the presence of real work in the regions and political ambitions among its local representatives, which most directly affects the parties’ chances in federal elections as well. On the other hand, it is also an indicator of local politicians’ assessment of the reality of their chances of registration. The result is a downward or upward spiral: the feeling of growing/absent chances raises/lowers activity, and conversely, activity raises chances.
When compiling lists, United Russia traditionally relies on administrative-corporate electoral mobilisation: lists are predominantly headed by governors, and the lists feature heads of cities and districts, heads of large labour collectives (university rectors, chief physicians of hospitals, heads of industrial enterprises, etc.). Regional heads and acting heads head the lists in 29 regions. In many regions, participants in the SMO are symbolically included in the list’s regional-wide part (in Tambov Oblast, an SMO participant actually heads the list).
The CPRF relies on a genuinely existing network of regional and local organisations, where leadership posts are traditionally usually the result of long-term work in the organisation and a gradual career, and therefore has the most predictable lists, formed with regard to the authority and work of the organisation. Personnel renewal occurs evolutionarily and gradually. Almost everywhere, lists are headed by the first secretaries of regional branches and other members of the regional and local party leadership. The presence of “locomotives” in the lists is generally not characteristic of the party. In a number of regions, the lists are headed by incumbent deputies of the State Duma of the Russian Federation (possibly, some of them will move to work in legislative assemblies if not elected to the State Duma);
When forming lists, the LDPR continues to use the scheme tested under Vladimir Zhirinovsky. As a rule, the party leader personally heads the lists in most regions. He is followed by the coordinator of the regional branch and other regional functionaries. The personnel reservoir is, firstly, its own personnel school (gradual promotion of young careerists joining the party, including through their training at the V. V. Zhirinovsky University of World Civilisations — a non-state higher education institution in Moscow, founded in 1999 by Zhirinovsky), and secondly, regional business sponsoring the regional branches. In a significant portion of the organisations under Leonid Slutsky, there has been a change of leadership to new people personally obliged to him for their promotion, but overall continuity with the previous management is preserved. Slutsky is absent from the LDPR list in Dagestan and Perm Krai. Slutsky is also absent from the lists in three regions where the lists do not provide for a regional-wide part: Chuvashia, Vologda and Novgorod Oblasts;
A Just Russia: at present, there are few genuinely strong independent figures left in the regions (Chelyabinsk, Tomsk, Oryol Oblasts, Zabaykalsky Krai), but there are established connections, integration into local elites, and some “detachment” of management and the regional network. In recent years, many organisations have seen a change of regional leaders to younger ones. The party is traditionally well integrated into the ruling elites in the North Caucasus, where it almost guaranteed to enter regional parliaments.
The New People party is represented on the ballot in regional parliamentary elections for the first time in about half of the regions. The list leaders are mainly young entrepreneurs and/or representatives of local public initiatives. The leadership of the organisations mainly consists of graduates of the “Captains” educational programme, founded by the party leader, entrepreneur Alexei Nechayev, in 2012. After the merger with the Party of Growth, older and higher-status representatives of the former Party of Growth appeared in the leadership of a number of organisations. Overall, the presence of “locomotives” in the lists is not characteristic of the party; this year there are a number of examples (Sardana Avksentyeva in Karelia, Alexander Demin in Sverdlovsk Oblast).
As a rule, there are no bright or widely known politicians in the RPPSS lists; the campaign traditionally relies on a low negative rating, a name that is understandable for the target age audience (an important factor of “voting for one’s own” given low turnout), and social themes. In effect, at the regional level it usually takes votes away from the CPRF and A Just Russia. In seven regions, the lists are headed by the new party leader, Erik Prazdnikov.
The Communists of Russia party traditionally plays the role of a spoiler for the CPRF, and there are almost no recognisable local candidates on its lists. In a number of regions, its lists feature current deputies from the CPRF: Vologda and Lipetsk Oblasts.
In Saint Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, the lists of REP The Greens in the legislative assembly elections are headed by former leaders of the A Just Russia factions of these same legislative assemblies.
Among the registered lists of the Rodina party, there are no obvious contenders for entering the legislative assemblies, with the exception of Tambov Oblast, where part of the supporters of the popular head of the Tambov administration, Maxim Kosenkov, remained within the organisation (he himself moved to United Russia);
The Yabloko lists that had clear chances of success in the legislative assembly elections in Karelia and Saint Petersburg have been removed from the elections. The third region where the party currently has a faction in the regional parliament is Pskov Oblast. However, here the list has also been bled dry due to the departure of key figures, in particular Lev Shlosberg, who has been recognised as a foreign agent. Yabloko has repeatedly entered the Tomsk City Duma (it failed to do so in 2025), but its list has never entered the Oblast Legislative Duma. A similar situation exists in Yekaterinburg and Veliky Novgorod — Yabloko lists are represented in the current city dumas, but the party’s lists have never entered the regional parliaments of these regions.
In single-mandate districts in the regional parliamentary elections, only 10 parties are initially participating (the Party of Direct Democracy did not nominate candidates). Elections for the majoritarian part of the legislative assemblies are being held for 802 vacancies (796 single-mandate districts and two three-mandate districts in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug). A total of 4,724 candidates were nominated (5.89 per seat), and 4,494 were registered (5.6 per seat). In most districts, only representatives of parliamentary parties are present. They nominated 3,812 of the 4,724 candidates, or 80.7%. Among registered candidates, their representatives number 3,727 out of 4,483 (82.3%). For comparison, in 2021, representatives of parliamentary parties accounted for 71.2% of all nominated candidates and 77.28% of all registered candidates.
The number of self-nominees has sharply declined. Across the whole country, according to the Central Election Commission, only 92 were nominated, and 11 were registered. In terms of attrition between nomination and registration, self-nominees lead as usual: 88% of self-nominees are refused registration. In 2021, the attrition rate among self-nominees was 74%. This once again underscores that, in its current form, the registration system through signature collection is, in essence, an insurmountable barrier, and is only possible with administrative assistance and an initially favourable attitude from election commissions.
1. Elections of regional heads ↑
Let us recall that in September 2026, direct elections are being held for the heads of only eight Russian regions, and in three more, heads will be elected by deputies (the Karachay-Cherkess Republic, Dagestan and North Ossetia). In total, a new term of office for governors will begin in 11 regions (in 2021, there were 12 such regions).
In total, 40 candidates were nominated in eight regions (five per region on average), and 39 were registered (4.875 per region on average). This is the lowest level of competition and initial interest from potential participants in such elections over the entire period of observing elections under the municipal filter system. In the elections of 14 September 2025, 134 candidates were nominated in 20 regions (6.7 per region on average); on 8 September 2024, elections of heads were held in 21 regions, with 7.0 candidates per region at that time. In reality, however, activity was lower, since formally the largest number of candidates were nominated in Saint Petersburg — 22, of whom 13 were self-nominees, which distorted the overall statistics in 2024. In the 2020 elections, 146 candidates were nominated in 18 regions (8.1 per region on average), and 91 candidates were initially registered (5.05 per region on average). In the 2021 elections, 51 candidates were nominated (5.7 per region on average), and 39 were registered (4.3).
A situation of extreme over-regulation and a complete absence of “accidental” candidates has emerged: exactly as many are nominated as are registered. Given that, apart from United Russia candidates, all others simply do not initially have the required number of supporters among municipal deputies, the complete coincidence of “nominated-registered” in an almost symmetrical situation across regions looks particularly telling. Non-systemic and uncoordinated candidates do not even attempt to run.
The only candidate who dropped out, Sergei Yeskov in Belgorod Oblast, withdrew his candidacy himself the very next day after submitting documents to the election commission.
There are no uncoordinated candidates: there is practically no attrition either (one candidate out of 40, or 2.5%). There are also no scandals over non-admission when overcoming the municipal filter: there is no one to obstruct. In the 2025 elections across 21 regions, such a picture was seen in almost half of the regions (10); this time, in all of them. The attrition rate in 2025 was 29%, in 2020 — 37.6%, in 2021 — 23.52%. One could rejoice at the absence of refusals, if one did not understand that the initial lack of chances for registration has become so obvious that no one even tries.
Everywhere, incumbents (governors or acting governors) are running from the United Russia party, except in Ulyanovsk Oblast, where the incumbent governor Alexei Russkikh is running from the CPRF. Thus, the rule is maintained: United Russia never nominates candidates against incumbent governors, regardless of whether they are nominated by other parties or through self-nomination.
All other parties participate in the elections within a coordinated framework.
The situation of coordination is confirmed by the situation in Tver Oblast, where the CPRF replaced a younger and more energetic candidate with an older and more “familiar” one, which surprisingly coincided with the party’s problems in having the results of its regional conference recognised. Tver communists held a reporting and election conference on the second attempt, at which they nominated candidates for governor and deputies of the Legislative Assembly. Instead of State Duma deputy Oleg Lebedev (born 1976), whom the plenum of the Tver Oblast Committee with the participation of First Deputy Chairman of the CPRF Central Committee Yuri Afonin recommended in June for nomination as head of the region, the head of the regional branch, Lyudmila Vorobyeva (born 1976), was nominated. Vorobyeva agreed to become a gubernatorial candidate the day before the conference. According to her, the reason was “not only internal, but also external issues.” “We decided that they (apparently, United Russia members. — Vedomosti) are afraid of Lebedev. He has chances of becoming governor. And of course, he would rather be a State Duma deputy than shoulder the heavy burden of governor,” the first secretary of the CPRF Oblast Committee admitted in an interview with Vedomosti. In 2021, Vorobyeva took 2nd place in the gubernatorial election, gaining 20.09%. The then-incumbent head of Tver Oblast, Rudenya, nominated by United Russia, was re-elected for a second term with a result of 52.33% — the worst among all incumbents on that single voting day. Now there is a new acting governor there — Vitaly Korolev. The first attempt to hold the reporting and election conference of the Tver Oblast Committee of the CPRF failed due to a lawsuit by former party members against the regional organisation, demanding that the decisions of the previous conference, held in 2024, be declared illegal. A court in Tver imposed interim measures on the lawsuit in the form of suspending the conference for nominating candidates. Subsequently, the plaintiff Murad Nurmuradov, who also represented the interests of other plaintiffs by proxy, petitioned to lift the interim measures in connection with the withdrawal of the stated claims. The court terminated the proceedings and lifted the interim measures; however, other plaintiffs disagreed with the withdrawal of claims and filed a private complaint against the ruling on termination of proceedings. It states that Nurmuradov allegedly “acted under pressure from third parties having a direct interest in the outcome of the case and acting in the interests of the defendant.”
Previously, gubernatorial elections were one of the arenas of activity for “small” parties: the authorities often selected competitors from little-known parties, probably believing that candidates from parties with more recognisable brands could receive more votes than when nominating little-known candidates from little-known parties.
However, the overall reduction in the number of registered parties and the descent of the remaining ones into “suspended animation” has narrowed the field for manoeuvre: this time, representatives of parliamentary parties dominate among the gubernatorial candidates.
Now, out of the 40 nominated, only six are from non-parliamentary parties: three from the Russian Party of Pensioners, and one each from REP The Greens, the Communists of Russia party and Rodina (the latter having withdrawn).
The remaining 34 represent parliamentary parties: seven from United Russia, eight from the CPRF, eight from A Just Russia, seven from the LDPR, and four from the New People party (previously, this party hardly participated in gubernatorial elections).
The largest number of registered candidates (six each) is in Mordovia and Tver Oblast, the smallest in the Chechen Republic.

2. Elections of regional parliaments ↑
A significant decline in the level of competition is noted compared to similar elections in 2021 — in total, 266 lists were nominated in the elections of 39 regional parliaments (6.82 per region on average), for comparison — in 2021 there were 324 such lists (8.3 per region on average). 254 were registered (6.51 per region on average); in the similar elections of 2021 in the same regions, 275 were registered (7.05 on average). These statistics are reminiscent of the elections in 2024–2025.
Attrition between nominated and registered amounted to 12 lists or 4.5% (for comparison — in 2012, dropouts numbered 49 or 15.12%). This level of attrition almost replicates the attrition in the regional elections of the previous year, 2025 (4%), and was even lower in 2024 (2.6%).
What lies behind these figures is not a rise in democratic standards but, as with the gubernatorial elections, the flip side of the shrinking number of registered political parties combined with the de facto impossibility of registering any party lists or candidates that are in any way inconvenient for the regional authorities through signature collection: in most cases, competition continues to contract to only those party lists and candidates from parties that enjoy a registration privilege. At the same time, even holding a privilege (exemption from signature collection) is no guarantee of registration, as illustrated by the refusals to register (or court-ordered de-registrations) of the privileged lists of the Russian United Democratic Party “Yabloko” in Karelia, Saint Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast.
Thus, party activity has fallen sharply over five years in parallel with the overall reduction in the number of parties, and the level of formal competition on the ballot in regional elections is now close to the situation of the 2000s (the only difference being that back then there was a large dropout rate between nomination and registration, whereas now that difference is minimal). As we recall, the further contraction of political competition at that time continued until 2011, when the combination of growing protest sentiment and its concentration around the few remaining parties led to the contentious elections of December 2011, the subsequent mass protest actions and the temporary liberalisation of party and electoral legislation in 2012.

After the 2011–2012 protest actions and the concentration of protest against the few remaining parties, the electoral strategy shifted to registering the largest possible number of parties that differed little from one another, intended to fragment the protest vote. As a result, in the September 2013 elections the formal number of nominated and registered party lists in regional elections became the highest in Russia’s entire post-Soviet history since the mandatory introduction of a proportional component in regional elections.
As already noted, the emergence on the political scene — alongside political-technological and spoiler political projects — of new projects that posed a real electoral threat spurred the authorities and the “old systemic” opposition towards a new agreement. Consequently, in May 2014 the rules for registering party lists and candidates were sharply tightened, rendering the existence of many new parties meaningless given the de facto impossibility of participating in elections. From then until the present, the level of formal political competition has declined continuously. The only surge of renewed growth in the level of formal competition came in the 2020–2021 elections, when four new parties were registered ahead of the State Duma elections (New People, For Truth, Green Alternative and the Party of Direct Democracy) and a targeted reboot of the party system was carried out.

248 out of 266 lists (93.2%) in the legislative assembly elections were nominated by regional branches of parties exempted from signature collection in those regions. For comparison, in the analogous elections in 2021, out of 324 lists, 204 were nominated under the privilege (all but one of which were registered), or 63%. The share of privilege-holders is now higher in both absolute and relative terms. This is primarily because a fifth parliamentary party, New People, appeared after the September 2021 elections; its representatives in the regions in 2021 were registered via signatures (the party nominated 32 lists at that time, but only 22 of them were registered).
In all regions, all parties that held a privilege used it, except in three cases: New People did not use its privilege in the Chechen Republic and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug. The Russian Party of Pensioners did not use its privilege in Amur Oblast.
We recall that the registration privilege (exemption from signature collection) in all 2026 elections of deputies to regional parliaments is held by the five parties represented in the State Duma of the Russian Federation (United Russia, the Communist Party (CPRF), the LDPR, A Just Russia, New People); additionally, other parties that received more than 3% of the vote in the last State Duma elections are entitled to the privilege (but there are none).
Furthermore, in individual regions the following parties additionally hold a registration privilege in regional parliamentary elections:
those that received at least 3% of the vote in the last analogous elections;
those whose lists, following the results of the last elections to representative bodies of municipal formations in the given region, were admitted to the distribution of deputy mandates in at least one instance;
those whose lists in the last elections to representative bodies of municipal formations in the given region received, in total, at least 0.5% of the total number of registered voters in the region’s territory.
Only 18 nominated lists had to collect signatures in these elections. Of the 254 registered lists, 244 (96%) were registered under the privilege, meaning that only 10 lists managed to register via signatures. Of the remaining eight, in two cases signature collection was not even started (Rodina in Saint Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast was refused certification of its lists); in the other six cases the signatures were not submitted for registration — evidently, they could not be collected (Rodina in Primorsky Krai, Nizhny Novgorod, Novgorod and Sverdlovsk oblasts; Yabloko in Moscow and Tambov oblasts).
At the same time, only parties and candidates that have constructive relations with the regional authorities are registered through signature collection. An illustrative example: the nomination and registration of the list of the Russian Ecological Party “The Greens” in the elections to the Legislative Assembly of Saint Petersburg. The list included representatives of the A Just Russia faction in the Legislative Assembly, headed by Marina Shishkina, who left the party in 2023 against the backdrop of cooperation between the party’s federal leadership and Yevgeny Prigozhin. At that time, Yevgeny Prigozhin and his media holding were in conflict with the city administration, while the A Just Russia faction had constructive relations with the city administration. The Greens became the new legal partner for the deputies who had left A Just Russia in Saint Petersburg. The list was certified on 22 June.
Signature collection began on 23 June. The party claimed that pickets were operating near most metro stations, but the addresses of the collection points were not disclosed. The only recorded episode was a report on the “Saint Petersburg” TV channel. As early as 30 June, the Saint Petersburg branch of The Greens party submitted 21,600 voter signatures to the city election commission. This is 1,600 more than the required minimum of 20,000. The press service of the city election commission confirmed receipt of the documents. Thus, somehow in seven days (in reality, three or four, since the signatures still need to be processed, bound into booklets, etc.) the party was able, at the end of June, to collect and process almost 22,000 signatures (it is known that, due to rejection, in order to submit 22,000, one actually needs to collect at least 30,000). Thus, at least 4,000 signatures must have been collected daily (and in reality, seven to eight thousand).
What was astonishing was not only the speed of signature collection for The Greens, but also the speed of their verification: it took one day. The list was registered as early as 2 July. Of the 21,552 signatures submitted, 4,038 were checked. Of those checked, only 168 signatures (4.16%) were deemed invalid. The Greens’ signatures were called into question at the election commission meeting by Yabloko representative Pavel Shapchits. He noted that the colours of the pens, the handwriting and the streets on the signature sheets coincided in a surprising way. On the first lines of different sheets were signatures of residents of Zastavskaya Street, on the second — Pobedy Street. “It’s as if they were sitting at one round table,” he remarked. Ten members of the commission voted for registration; two — representatives of Yabloko and A Just Russia — were against.
In the elections of deputies to the Legislative Assembly of Leningrad Oblast, the lists of the Russian Ecological Party “The Greens” (here the list was also headed by the former head of the A Just Russia faction in the oblast’s Legislative Assembly, Alexander Perminov) and “Communists of Russia” (obvious spoilers against the CPRF, with which the regional authorities are in clear confrontation) were required to collect more than 7,300 voter signatures. Both parties passed the verification: in each case, less than 4% of signatures were deemed invalid, with an allowable defect rate of 5%.
Under such conditions, the surviving “small parties” have minimised the nomination of candidates. In effect, parties that need to collect signatures have almost ceased participating in elections. Not a single candidate or party list has been nominated for regional parliaments by the Democratic Party of Russia, the party “For Justice!”, the Party of Progress, the Russian Party of Freedom and Justice, the Cossack Party, or the Party of Russia’s Rebirth (that is, by six of the 17 entitled to participate in elections — the activities of the 18th, Civic Platform, were suspended by a ruling of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation on 30 April 2026).
The most lists were nominated in Karelia and Moscow Oblast — 10 each (nine and eight registered, respectively), and in Leningrad, Novgorod and Pskov oblasts — nine each (nine registered in Pskov, eight in Novgorod, seven in Leningrad).
The fewest lists were nominated in the Chechen Republic and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, with four lists each — not even all the parliamentary parties are represented (New People is absent), and there are no others at all. Dagestan, Ingushetia and Mordovia — only the lists of the five parliamentary parties.
United Russia, the CPRF, the LDPR and A Just Russia nominated and registered lists in all 39 regions; the New People party did not nominate lists in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug and the Chechen Republic. In total, the parliamentary parties account for 193 of the 266 nominated lists (72.6%). The LDPR is participating in parliamentary elections in the Chechen Republic for the first time. We recall that in early 2011, after the “Duel” programme on the “Rossiya” TV channel on 20 January 2011, Ramzan Kadyrov stated that “I am firmly convinced that after Zhirinovsky’s demarche, not a single resident of the Chechen Republic, be they Chechen or Russian, will remain in the ranks of the LDPR, and even less so will cast their vote for it”.
Among the non-parliamentary parties, the most active proved to be the Russian Party of Pensioners for Social Justice (RPPSS); it nominated 25 lists, all of which were registered (in 2021, in these same 39 regions, it nominated 30 lists, of which 26 were registered).
In seventh place are “Communists of Russia” — they nominated 20 lists, all of which were also registered (in 2021, in these same regions, 22 were nominated and 17 registered).
Next come Rodina and Yabloko” — 12 and 10 regions of nomination, respectively. Both parties suffered the maximum losses during registration; each had five lists registered. In Rodina’s case, there were refusals of certification in two instances — Leningrad Oblast and Saint Petersburg. In both cases, there were multiple complaints about the documents. In Leningrad Oblast: a notarised copy of the document on the state registration of the party (its regional branch) was not submitted; a number of documents on candidates’ income/expenses and property were missing; documents on party membership were not submitted for 21 candidates. In Saint Petersburg — the absence of a number of forms, certified copies, etc. In the remaining cases, the party was unable to collect signatures and accordingly did not submit them for registration — Primorsky Krai, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Novgorod and Sverdlovsk oblasts.
Yabloko” — in Moscow and Tambov oblasts, signatures were not submitted. On 24 July, the party was refused registration of its list of candidates for deputies of the Legislative Assembly of Saint Petersburg on the grounds of complaints about the preparation of the first financial report, since, in the commission’s view, the power of attorney issued to the authorised representative for financial matters needed to separately specify the authority to submit the first financial report. On 31 July, the Central Election Commission rejected Yabloko’s appeal against the decision of the Saint Petersburg Election Commission. On 13 August, the Election Commission of Leningrad Oblast refused registration of Yabloko’s list in the elections to the Legislative Assembly of Leningrad Oblast. In the commission’s view, at the conference for nominating candidates, the ballot for nominating the province-wide list of candidates did not reproduce the province-wide list of candidates itself; one could only place a tick or any mark in the “for” or “against” box. Thus, the delegates had no opportunity to determine which candidates were being nominated as part of the list. Also, in the nomination documents the party did not indicate which single-mandate districts the 19 territorial groups corresponded to.
The Supreme Court of Karelia on 29 July revoked the registration of the list for the Legislative Assembly of Karelia from the Yabloko party on grounds analogous to those on which the party was initially refused in Saint Petersburg.
The Russian Ecological Party “The Greens”” nominated and registered five lists.
The Party of Direct Democracy nominated a single list in the only region where it has a registration privilege — the elections to the Legislative Assembly of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast.
On the one hand, the degree of a party’s activity in regional elections is the best indicator of the state of its regional network and demonstrates the existence of real work in the regions and political ambitions among its local representatives, which most directly affects the parties’ chances in federal elections as well. On the other hand, it is also an indicator of how local politicians assess the reality of their chances of registration. The result is a downward or upward spiral: the perception of growing/absent chances raises/lowers activity, and conversely, activity raises the chances.

When compiling its lists, the party traditionally relies on administrative-corporate electoral mobilisation: the lists are headed predominantly by governors, and include heads of cities and districts, heads of large work collectives (university rectors, chief physicians of hospitals, heads of industrial enterprises, etc.).
Heads of regions and acting heads head the lists in 29 regions: Adygea (Marat Kumpilov), Dagestan (Fedor Shchukin), Karelia (Artur Parfenchikov), Mordovia (Artem Zdunov), Altai Krai (Viktor Tomenko), Krasnoyarsk Krai (Mikhail Kotyukov), Perm Krai (Dmitry Makhonin), Primorsky Krai (Oleg Kozhemyako), Stavropol Krai (Vladimir Vladimirov), Amur Oblast (Vasily Orlov), Astrakhan Oblast (Igor Babushkin), Kaliningrad Oblast (Alexei Besprozvannykh), Kirov Oblast (Alexander Sokolov), Kursk Oblast (Alexander Khinshtein), Leningrad Oblast (Alexander Drozdenko), Lipetsk Oblast (Igor Artamonov), Moscow Oblast (Andrei Vorobyov), Murmansk Oblast (Andrei Chibis), Nizhny Novgorod Oblast (Gleb Nikitin), Omsk Oblast (Vitaly Khotsenko), Orenburg Oblast (Evgeny Solntsev), Pskov Oblast (Mikhail Vedernikov), Samara Oblast (Vyacheslav Fedorishchev), Sverdlovsk Oblast (Denis Pasler), Tver Oblast (Vitaly Korolev), Tomsk (Vladimir Mazur), Tyumen Oblast (Alexander Moor), Jewish AO (Maria Kostyuk), KhMAO (Ruslan Kukharuk).
There are no governors in the lists in Ingushetia (the list leader is former deputy speaker of the People’s Assembly, chairman of the Government of Ingushetia in 2016-2018, adviser to the head of Ingushetia Ruslan Gagiev); the Chechen Republic (the list leader is deputy prime minister of the Chechen government — minister for national policy, external relations, press and information Akhmed Dudaev, born 1987); Kamchatka Krai (the list leaders are multiple-time Russian and European sambo champion Svetlana Galyant, senator Valery Ponomarev and head of the Governor’s Administration Sergei Merkulov); Oryol Oblast (the list leader is secretary of the regional branch, chair of the oblast council Leonid Muzalevsky); Chukotka AO (the list leaders are Chair of the Duma of the ChAO Leonid Nikolaev and State Duma deputy of the Russian Federation Elena Evtyukhova); Saint Petersburg (the list leader is speaker of the Legislative Assembly Alexander Belsky). In Tambov Oblast, instead of the governor, the list is headed by deputy commander of a helicopter squadron, Guards Major, Hero of Russia Ivan Boldyrev, born 1985.
In three regions, the lists have no all-regional part at all; they are entirely divided into territorial groups: Chuvashia, Vologda Oblast, Novgorod Oblast. This circumstance relieves the heads of these regions from personal participation in the election campaign, and the groups are headed by other representatives of the regional nomenklatura. Overall, the absence of a governor from the list is linked either to the fact that they are not a member of United Russia, or for some reason personally do not wish to participate in the elections, or to their low rating. The absence of Ramzan Kadyrov from the list in the Chechen Republic may raise questions, but he was also absent from the list in the previous parliamentary elections of the Chechen Republic in 2021, and this may be connected to the fact that elections for the head of the Chechen Republic are taking place simultaneously (where he is running) and, in the parliamentary elections, it is necessary for parties other than United Russia to also enter parliament.
In the Legislative Assembly of Tver Oblast, No. 2 on the list is the head of the United Russia faction in the State Duma of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vasiliev. In Tyumen Oblast, in the all-regional part after Governor Alexander Moor, there are immediately two speakers — chair of the KhMAO Duma Boris Khokhryakov and chair of the Tyumen Oblast Duma Fuat Saifitdinov. At the same time, Khokhryakov is also No. 2 on the United Russia list in the elections to the KhMAO Duma.
In the parliament of Dagestan, No. 2 on the list is senator Suleiman Kerimov. In the Legislative Assembly of Sverdlovsk Oblast, No. 3 on the list is the former mayor of Yekaterinburg, first deputy speaker of the regional Legislative Assembly Arkady Chernetsky.
In many regions, participants in the SMO are symbolically included in the all-regional part of the list (Tambov Oblast, where an SMO participant heads the list overall, has already been mentioned above).
In the Legislative Assembly of Saint Petersburg, No. 2 on the list is the commander of the Leningrad Regiment, three-time holder of the Order of Courage Mikhail Kogan, born 1969. In the Legislative Assembly of Sverdlovsk Oblast, No. 2 is Lieutenant Colonel, commander of a motorised rifle battalion, Hero of Russia Maxim Sholomov, born 1981. In the Moscow Oblast Duma, No. 2 on the list is the director of the “Sports School” of Krasnoznamensk, deputy of the Council of the Krasnoznamensk Urban District, SMO participant Sergei Peshkin, born 1992 — he became the youngest honorary citizen of the Moscow region (he fought until he was wounded). In Leningrad Oblast, No. 3 on the list is the social coordinator of the branch of the “Defenders of the Fatherland” Fund for Leningrad Oblast Marina Gnatyuk, born 1984; in Lipetsk Oblast, No. 3 on the list is Hero of Russia, SMO participant Evgeny Savvin, born 1994; in Tomsk Oblast, No. 3 on the list is the chair of the Tomsk City Duma Sergei Sechenov, born 1989; in Murmansk Oblast, No. 3 on the list is the commander of the 200th Separate Guards Motorised Rifle Brigade of the 14th Army Corps of Coastal Troops, Hero of Russia Roman Fedorov, born 1987. In the Samara Governorate Duma, No. 3 on the list is Maxim Devyatov, born 1987, Hero of Russia, who held the positions of assistant and adviser to the governor of the region, as well as acting head of the Novokuibyshevsk Urban District, etc.
CPRF ↑
Since the party relies on a genuinely existing network of regional and local organisations, where leadership posts are traditionally usually the result of long work in the organisation and a gradual career, it has the most predictable lists, formed with regard to the authority and work of the organisation. Personnel renewal occurs evolutionarily and gradually. Almost everywhere, the lists are headed by the first secretaries of regional branches and other members of the regional and local party leadership.
The presence of “locomotives” in the lists is generally not characteristic of the party. In a number of regions, the lists are headed by incumbent State Duma deputies of the Russian Federation (possibly, some of them will move to work in legislative assemblies if they are not elected to the State Duma):
Altai Krai — State Duma deputy, first secretary of the krai committee Maria Prusakova, born 1983
Kursk Oblast — first secretary of the regional committee, State Duma deputy Nikolai Ivanov, born 1957
Moscow Oblast — State Duma deputy, first secretary of the regional committee Nikolai Vasiliev, born 1958
Nizhny Novgorod Oblast — first secretary of the regional committee, State Duma deputy of the Russian Federation Vladislav Egorov, born 1969
Omsk Oblast — first secretary of the regional committee, State Duma deputy of the Russian Federation Andrei Alekhin, born 1959;
Samara Oblast — after the first secretary of the regional committee, Governorate Duma deputy Alexei Leskin, comes State Duma deputy Mikhail Matveev, born 1968
Sverdlovsk Oblast — after the first secretary of the regional committee, deputy speaker of the Legislative Assembly Alexander Ivachev, comes State Duma deputy of the Russian Federation Nikolai Ezersky, born 1956 (not running for the State Duma)
Tver Oblast — State Duma deputy of the Russian Federation Oleg Lebedev, born 1976
In Oryol Oblast, the list is headed by senator, first secretary of the regional committee Vasily Ikonnikov, born 1961. In Orenburg Oblast — chair of the State Duma Committee on Family Protection, Issues of Fatherhood, Motherhood and Childhood Nina Ostanina, born 1955.
In Tomsk Oblast, No. 3 on the list is Vladimir Cholakhyan, born 1995, deputy of the Tomsk City Duma. At the same time, the current deputy of the Legislative Duma of Tomsk from the CPRF is his brother Vard Cholakhyan, born 1997, an active participant in the “Union of Armenians of Tomsk Oblast”.
LDPR ↑
When forming its lists, the LDPR continues to use the scheme tested under Vladimir Zhirinovsky. As a rule, the party leader personally heads the lists in most regions. He is followed by the coordinator of the regional branch and other regional functionaries. The personnel reservoir is, firstly, its own personnel school (the gradual promotion of young careerists joining the party, including through their training at the V. V. Zhirinovsky University of World Civilisations — a non-state higher education institution in Moscow founded by Zhirinovsky in 1999), and secondly, regional business that sponsors the regional branches. In a significant part of the organisations under Leonid Slutsky, there has been a change of leadership to new people personally obliged to him for their promotion, but overall continuity with the previous management is maintained.
Almost everywhere, the first number on the list is the new party leader Leonid Slutsky. In a number of cases, the list includes current State Duma deputies: in Adygea, besides Slutsky, No. 2 is State Duma deputy Kaplan Panesh; in Krasnoyarsk Krai, No. 2 is State Duma deputy Dmitry Pavlovich Novikov (a former employee of the party apparatus, who received a mandate only on 16 April 2025, vacated after the termination of Yuri Napso’s powers); in Pskov Oblast, No. 2 is the chair of the State Duma Committee on Health Protection Sergei Leonov; in Chukotka AO, No. 2 is State Duma deputy Sergei Karginov; in KhMAO and Tyumen Oblast — in both lists, No. 2 is State Duma deputy, coordinator of the Tyumen regional branch Vladimir Sysoev (former deputy governor of Tyumen Oblast in 2019-2021). In Tver Oblast, No. 2 is the deputy head of the LDPR faction apparatus in the State Duma Eleonora Kavshar, born 1989; in Orenburg, No. 2 is senator and former State Duma deputy, coordinator of the regional branch Elena Afanasyeva.
Slutsky is absent from the LDPR list in Dagestan (the list leader is deputy general director of LLC “StroyInvest”, deputy of the Assembly of Deputies of Makhachkala Abdulhamid Abdullaev, born 1979) and in Perm Krai (the leader is the head of the faction in the Legislative Assembly, coordinator of the regional branch Oleg Postnikov, while in the simultaneous elections to the Perm City Duma, the list leader is Leonid Slutsky).
Slutsky is also absent from the lists in three regions where the lists do not provide for an all-regional part: Chuvashia, Vologda Oblast and Novgorod Oblast. In Vologda Oblast, one of the groups is headed by a native of the region, State Duma deputy Sergei Karginov.
“A Just Russia” ↑
“A Just Russia” historically formed as a coalition of representatives of large regional business and individual charismatic figures (often these were deputies from majoritarian districts from small parties liquidated in the 2000s during the “first small-party system”; for them, “A Just Russia” then played the role of a “Noah’s Ark” that allowed them to survive under the new conditions). Gradually, this alliance was destroyed for objective reasons: some were pushed out of politics by external causes (especially pressure after 2011), some by internal party causes (the last wave of departures in 2023 due to disagreement over the party’s rapprochement with Evgeny Prigozhin), some objectively lost influence and authority, retired on a well-deserved rest or even emigrated. At present, there are few genuinely strong independent figures left in the regions (Chelyabinsk, Tomsk, Oryol Oblasts, Zabaykalsky Krai), but there are established connections, integration into local elites, and a certain “fine-tuning” of management and the regional network.
In recent years, many organisations have seen a change of regional leaders to younger ones.
The party often puts incumbent State Duma deputies at the head of its lists; Sergei Mironov himself usually does not participate in regional elections (there were isolated such cases in the past, but none now). In the elections to the Legislative Assembly of Perm Krai, the list leader is State Duma deputy of the Russian Federation Mikhail Delyagin. In the elections to the Legislative Assembly of Leningrad Oblast, long-time State Duma deputy Elena Drapeko, born 1948 (followed by the director of the ANO “Support for the Construction of Temples and Chapels” Sergei Shulga, born 1976). In the elections to the Altai Krai Legislative Assembly, State Duma deputy, chair of the regional branch council Alexander Terentiev. In the elections to the Kursk Oblast Duma, political analyst, host on the TV and Radio Company “Radio Rossii” Sergei Mikheev (simultaneously running for the State Duma). In the elections to the Legislative Assembly of Sverdlovsk Oblast, State Duma deputy, chair of the regional branch council Andrei Kuznetsov. In the elections to the Legislative Assembly of Tver Oblast, long-time party sponsor, State Duma deputy Alexei Chepa. In the elections to the Moscow Oblast Duma, following the deputy chair of the Moscow Oblast Duma, chair of the regional branch council Igor Chistyukhin, comes State Duma deputy of the Russian Federation Alexander Vorobyov.
In Saint Petersburg, the entire faction left the party in the current Legislative Assembly; the list is headed by the chair of the regional branch council Nadezhda Tikhonova (niece of the leader of “A Just Russia” Sergei Mironov) and SMO participant, commander of the 1429th Guards Motor Rifle Regiment sponsored by the party Oleg Chernyshov, No. 3 is political analyst Sergei Mikheev.
In Tomsk Oblast, there is one of the strongest organisations. The list leaders are the chair of the regional branch council, head of the faction in the Legislative Duma Galina Nemtseva, and the leading auditor of the Directorate for Organising the Implementation of the Development Programme of Tomsk State University Marina Kolykhaeva. Another strong organisation is in Oryol Oblast. The list leaders are the chair of the regional branch council, adviser to the party chairman, oblast council deputy, the extremely active Ruslan Perelygin, born 1982, and a major regional entrepreneur, oblast council deputy Igor Rybakov.
Traditionally, the party is well integrated into the ruling elites in the North Caucasus, where it almost guaranteed to enter regional parliaments. In Adygea, the current list leader is Albert Osmanov, chair of the regional branch council, former head of the Krasnogvardeysky District and minister of labour and social development of Adygea. In Dagestan, the chair of the regional branch council, deputy chair of the People’s Assembly of Dagestan Kamil Davdiev. In Stavropol Krai, the chair of the regional branch council, deputy chair of the Krai Duma, brother of the former mayor of Stavropol in 2003-2008 Dmitry Kuzmin, Alexander Kuzmin.
“New People” ↑
In roughly half of the regions, the party is represented on the ballot in regional parliamentary elections for the first time. The list leaders are mainly young entrepreneurs and/or representatives of local public initiatives. The leadership of the organisations mainly consists of graduates of the “Captains” educational programme, founded by the party leader, entrepreneur Alexei Nechaev, in 2012. With the support of the family charitable foundation “Captains”, the “Captains” business faculty was created on the basis of the Institute of Management and Socio-Economic Planning of the G. V. Plekhanov Russian University of Economics. After the merger with the Party of Growth, older and higher-status representatives of the former Party of Growth appeared in the leadership of a number of organisations.
A number of list leaders are designated on the ballots as employees of the Charitable Foundation for Environmental Protection “Ecosfera”, or the Charitable Foundation for the Support of Educational Programmes “Captains”.
Overall, the presence of “locomotives” in the lists is not characteristic of the party, but there are a number of examples this year. In Karelia, the list is headed by State Duma deputy of the Russian Federation Sardana Avksentieva and secretary of the regional branch council, Legislative Assembly deputy Sergei Usatenko, born 2000. In Mordovia, the list is headed by the director of the Department of Regional Programmes of the ANO “Expert Institute for Social Research” (EISR) Daria Kislitsyna, born 1989, who is also running for the State Duma. In Sverdlovsk Oblast, the list leader is the chair of the State Duma Committee on Small and Medium Entrepreneurship Alexander Demin, born 1988. Further down the list are Legislative Assembly deputy Rant Kraev, born 1995, and the current Legislative Assembly deputy from the LDPR, director of the LLC Medical and Pharmaceutical Centre “Garmonia” Leonid Khayutin.
In Krasnoyarsk Krai, the list includes former representatives of the LDPR, the Party of Pensioners and REP “The Greens”: deputy of the Norilsk City Council, associate professor at the Polar State University Natalya Karmanovskaya (formerly REP “The Greens”); lawyer Mikhail Martynyuk (formerly RPPSJ) and general director of LLC “StroyTekhMontazh”, deputy of the Krai Legislative Assembly from the LDPR Zakhar Endzhievsky.
In Altai Krai, the list is headed by the executive director of LLC “IMA ‘Radio-Krai’”, deputy of the Altai Krai [Legislative Assembly] Maxim Bannykh, the son and heir of one of the most influential Altai businessmen of the 1990s-2000s, Anatoly Bannykh, who died in a helicopter crash. Maxim Bannykh was previously elected on the United Russia list.
In Stavropol Krai, No. 2 on the list is a former member of the Party of Growth and the “Union of Right Forces”, president of the Krai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, deputy of the Stavropol City Duma Boris Obolenets, born 1951. In Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, the list is headed by the Commissioner for the Protection of Entrepreneurs’ Rights in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Secretary of the regional branch council Pavel Solodky.
Russian Party of Pensioners for Social Justice ↑
As a rule, there are no bright or widely known politicians in the RPPSJ lists; the campaign traditionally relies on a low negative rating, a name that is understandable for the target age audience (an important factor of “voting for one’s own” given low turnout), and social themes. In fact, at the regional level, it usually takes votes away from the CPRF and “A Just Russia”.
In seven regions (Karelia, Kamchatka Krai, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Samara, Tver Oblasts, KhMAO), the lists are headed by the new party leader, head of the department of the N. A. Semashko Scientific and Educational Institute of Clinical Medicine of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education “Russian University of Medicine” Erik Prazdnikov. The previous party chairman, Vladimir Burakov, died on 23 December 2024. Vladimir Burakov in 1993–1994 was deputy general director of the executive directorate of the Federation of Stock Exchanges of Russia, also worked as deputy head of a directorate in the Chamber of Commerce and Industry and as secretary of the political council of the “Fatherland” movement. In 2005, he was elected deputy chairman of the Russian Party of Pensioners, and headed it in 2016. The new party leader, Erik Prazdnikov, was born in 1964, Doctor of Medical Sciences, professor. Honoured Doctor of the Russian Federation. From 2013 — head of the academic department, from 2017 — assistant to the rector, head of the department of operative surgery and topographic anatomy, from 2020 to 2022 — vice-rector for educational work at the A. I. Evdokimov Moscow State University of Medicine and Dentistry (MSMSU). From 2013, he held the position of general secretary of the Society of Doctors of Russia. From 2019, he was the executive secretary of the public and business council of the National Project “Healthcare”. In 2021, he joined the Russian Party of Pensioners for Social Justice (RPPSJ), and in 2022, he joined the central council.
In a number of regions, the lists are headed by incumbent deputies of regional parliaments.
In Altai Krai, among the leaders of the RPPSJ list is the director of the Institute of Clinical Medicine of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education Altai State Medical University of the Russian Ministry of Health, deputy of the Altai Krai Legislative Assembly Elena Khrustaleva. Elected from the CPRF in 2021, but expelled from the party and faction in November 2022 after voting for the krai budget, in 2023 she headed the regional branch of the RPPSJ and invited former and current members of the CPRF to move to the Party of Pensioners. Further down the list are AKZS deputy Alexander Lazarev (previously elected from United Russia) and AKZS deputy, farmer Vyacheslav Laptev, also a former deputy nominated by the CPRF. In October 2023, Vyacheslav Laptev submitted an application to leave the CPRF faction due to disagreement with the course of the krai committee leadership. He stated that he would remain an independent deputy.
In Vologda Oblast, where the list has no all-regional part, the territorial groups of the list are headed by Legislative Assembly deputy Natalya Shibaeva and former Legislative Assembly deputy, individual entrepreneur Alexander Bolotov, who was previously a member of “A Just Russia”.
In the elections to the Moscow Oblast Duma, the second number on the RPPSJ list after party leader Erik Prazdnikov is State Duma deputy from the LDPR Andrei Svintsov, scandalously known for various mutually exclusive statements (especially famous for his many comments on blocking social networks, messengers, etc.).
The party’s lists have repeatedly entered the Legislative Assembly in Kaliningrad Oblast (the list again includes multiple-term deputy Vladimir Vukolov) and KhMAO (Vladimir Zinoviev, who has been elected deputy many times).
In Karelia, the second number on the RPPSJ list is the executive director of the Association “Council of Municipal Formations of the Republic of Karelia” Grigory Fandeev. In the past, he was a member of “Yabloko” and “A Just Russia”, was elected to the Petrozavodsk City Council, and was a deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the republic. He was a member of the “A Just Russia” faction, but left it on the eve of the 2011 elections. In 2013, he participated in the mayoral elections of Petrozavodsk as an “independent candidate” and took 3rd place.
“Communists of Russia” ↑
The party traditionally plays the role of a spoiler for the CPRF, and there are almost no recognisable local candidates on its lists.
In 2021, in elections in these same regions, “Communists of Russia” entered the Legislative Assemblies of Altai Krai and Omsk Oblast. In Omsk Oblast, the list was headed by TV presenter and deputy of the Omsk City Council Vladimir Kazanin. In Altai Krai, the high percentage could be linked to the fact that elections to the AKZS and the State Duma were held simultaneously, and in the State Duma elections the CPRF was No. 1 on the ballot, while in the AKZS “Communists of Russia” was No. 1, and many voters voted identically on both ballots, not understanding the difference between them. Now, in both regions, these factors are absent: Kazanin is not running in Omsk, and the positions of the CPRF and “Communists of Russia” on the ballot in Altai Krai do not coincide.
In the 2026 elections, the chairman of the party’s Central Committee, deputy of the Altai Krai Legislative Assembly Sergei Malinkovich personally heads the party lists in Kirov, Leningrad, and Pskov Oblasts, and is No. 2 on the party list for the Moscow Oblast Duma and the Legislative Assembly of Tver Oblast.
In Altai Krai, the list is headed by associate professor of the Altai branch of the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, AKZS deputy Lyudmila Tsivileva, and deputy general director of LLC “Promzhilstroy” Andrei Sarkisyan. In Amur Oblast, individual entrepreneur, Legislative Assembly deputy, first secretary of the regional branch Sergei Rafalsky, and former State Duma deputy from the CPRF Gennady Gamza, born 1944.
In Omsk Oblast, the list for the Legislative Assembly in 2026 is headed by former CPRF member, assistant at the Department of Pharmacology of OSMU Alexei Baikov, born 1990.
In the elections to the Lipetsk Oblast Council, the “Communists of Russia” list includes oblast council deputies previously elected from the CPRF: Dmitry Larin, Yuri Loginov, Valentina Khromovskaya.
In Vologda Oblast (the region has no all-regional part of the lists), one of the groups is headed by Legislative Assembly deputy from the CPRF Valery Borisov (who left the CPRF before the elections); other groups include a group of employees of LLC “Private Security Company ‘Rescue Service’”, LLC “Security Service ‘Konvoi’” and employees of budgetary organisations.
In the elections to the Novgorod Oblast Duma, the list includes residents of other regions — North Ossetia, Saint Petersburg, etc.
REP “The Greens” ↑
It has already been noted that in St Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast the party lists of the REP “Greens” for the legislative assembly elections are headed by former leaders of the A Just Russia factions in those same legislative assemblies. In Leningrad Oblast, the leader of the A Just Russia faction in the legislative assembly is Alexander Perminov. In St Petersburg: the leader of the A Just Russia faction, Marina Shishkina; Shishkina’s aide and the new head of the REP “Greens” regional branch and campaign chief-of-staff, Kristina Cheremnykh; and legislative assembly deputy from A Just Russia, Lyubov Mendeleeva. The ceremony to sign a cooperation agreement between the A Just Russia faction in the legislative assembly and the REP “Greens” in March 2026 was attended by almost all deputies of the parliamentary faction A Just Russia — For Truth: Marina Shishkina, Mikhail Amosov, Andrei Aleskerov and Lyubov Mendeleeva. Their colleague Alexander Novikov was unable to join the event. A member of the federal council of the “Greens” also witnessed the event.
In Krasnoyarsk Krai, where the “Greens” entered the legislative assembly in the September 2021 elections, the list is headed this time by the chairman of the party’s regional branch council in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Vladislav Aleinikov, and the head of the Krasnoyarsk Territorial Clinical Oncology Dispensary, Valery Timoshenko.
In Moscow Oblast the list is headed by Marianna Kristalinskaya, a deputy of the Odintsovo Urban District Council of Deputies, and Sergei Shakhmatov, director of Integral Sibir LLC and a former deputy of the Krasnoyarsk Legislative Assembly and leader of the Union of Right Forces in Krasnoyarsk Krai in the 2000s.
“Rodina” ↑
Among the registered lists of the Rodina party there are no obvious contenders to enter the legislative assemblies, with the exception of Tambov Oblast, where part of the supporters of the popular head of the Tambov administration, Maxim Kosenkov, have remained in the organisation (he himself has moved to United Russia). The Rodina list for the Tambov Oblast Duma is headed by the chair of the regional branch council and first deputy chair of the Tambov City Duma, Elena Leonova, and the chair of the Tambov Oblast Duma Committee on Labour and Social Policy, Lyubov Shanina.
RUPDP “Yabloko” ↑
The Yabloko lists that had clear chances of success in the legislative assembly elections in Karelia and St Petersburg have been removed from the elections (the most prominent candidates in these regions were earlier stripped of the right to run — Boris Vishnevsky, designated a foreign agent, and Alexander Shishlov and Emilia Slabunova, fined for displaying extremist symbols). The third region where the party currently has a faction in the regional parliament is Pskov Oblast. Here, however, the list has also been bled dry by the departure of key figures, in particular Lev Shlosberg, designated a foreign agent. The list is headed by Alexander Konashenkov, head of the Prometei peasant farm enterprise and deputy of the Gdov Municipal District Assembly of Deputies, and Yana Ivanova, aide to Artur Gaiduk, a deputy of the Pskov Oblast Legislative Assembly.
In Tomsk Oblast the list is headed by Vasily Yeryomin (born 1949), a former deputy of the Tomsk City Duma, and Yevgeny Kaverzin (born 1970), a former deputy of the Tomsk City Duma and technologist at Chisty Mir LLC. Yabloko has repeatedly entered the Tomsk City Duma (it failed to do so in 2025), but its list has never entered the Oblast Legislative Duma.
A similar situation exists in Yekaterinburg and Veliky Novgorod — Yabloko lists are represented in the current city dumas, but the party’s lists have never entered the regional parliaments of these regions.
In the Novgorod Oblast Duma, among the leaders of the list’s groups (there is no all-region part of the list) is Anna Cherepanova, a deputy of the Veliky Novgorod Duma and deputy chair of the party. In the Sverdlovsk Oblast Legislative Assembly, the list is headed by Konstantin Kiselyov, a political scientist and deputy of the Yekaterinburg City Duma; pensioner Tatyana Gorshkaleva; and Alexei Kholodarev, a deputy of the Yekaterinburg City Duma in 2018–2023.
In Kaliningrad Oblast, Yabloko was last represented in the Oblast Duma (now the Legislative Assembly) in the early 2000s. Now the list is headed by Ivan Bolshakov, a Muscovite and head of the party’s Analytical Centre; lawyer Roman Morozov; and entrepreneur Anton Gendrikson.
Party of Direct Democracy ↑
The only list, in the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, is headed by Yulia Kharchenko, adviser to the director of the Civic Initiatives Fund of the JAO. The incumbent deputy Tatyana Kolnauz, head of the Bureau of Forensic Medical Examination of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast, is not running.
4. The situation in majoritarian districts ↑
Only 10 parties are initially participating in the single-mandate districts in the regional parliament elections (the Party of Direct Democracy did not nominate candidates). Elections for the majoritarian part of the legislative assemblies are being held for 802 seats (796 single-mandate districts and two three-mandate districts in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug).
A total of 4,724 candidates have been nominated (5.89 per seat), and 4,494 have been registered (5.6 per seat). In most districts only representatives of the parliamentary parties are present.
They nominated 3,812 of the 4,724 candidates, or 80.7%. Among registered candidates, their representatives account for 3,727 of 4,483 (82.3%). For comparison, in 2021 representatives of the parliamentary parties accounted for 71.2% of all nominated candidates and 77.28% of all registered candidates.
The number of self-nominated candidates has fallen sharply. According to the Central Election Commission, only 92 have been nominated nationwide, and 11 registered. As usual, self-nominated candidates lead in the dropout rate between nomination and registration: 88% of self-nominated candidates are refused registration. In 2021 the dropout rate among self-nominated candidates was 74%. This once again underscores that, in its current form, the registration system based on signature collection is essentially an insurmountable barrier, and is possible only with administrative assistance and an initially favourable attitude from election commissions.
