Russian Pensioners’ Party
- Russian Pensioners’ Party
(RPP)
Political party. Known in Russian as
Rossiiskaia partiia pensionerov, the RPP was established in 1997 by Sergey Atroshenko. In the 1999
State Duma elections, the party claimed nearly 2 percent of the vote. While the party increased its share of the vote to 3 percent in 2003, the RPP failed to win any seats. Atroshenko was subsequently dismissed for failure to improve electoral performance; he was replaced by Valery Gartung, though a subsequent dispute between the two led to fractures within the party. The party has performed comparatively better in regional polls, particularly in
Magadan and
Tomsk. On 28 October 2006, the RPP merged with the Russian Party of Life and
Rodina to form
Fair Russia, which went on to place fourth in the 2007
Duma elections.
