To Federal elections only four months, and three of them — year-old. The parties now it is important to identify key candidates who will represent them at the crucial period of the election campaign. And since recognizable, but not hackneyed individuals on the domestic political arena not so much, for each such a candidate is a serious party struggle. “Ribbon.<url>” remember those who are away in new stars, but they never broke out.
Crimean asterisk: Natalia Poklonskaya
The most obvious option for political recruitment appears to be the famous “Bach” Natalia Poklonskaya, Prosecutor of Crimea. Small wonder that in December rating ISSI regional politicians with Federal prospects, she won first place, beating many more experienced leaders.
It was rumored that she could get to the Federal list of “United Russia”, almost in the top three. In the summer of 2015, the Secretary of the General Council EP Sergei Neverov expressed hope that her participation in party primaries. Had lovely views of the Prosecutor and other political forces. So, “happy” would include Poklonskaya in your list of candidates to the state Duma the leader of the party “Rodina” Alexey Zhuravlev.
In the primaries the EP the Prosecutor of the Crimea has not registered, and in General, she said, is not going to make a political career. At the meeting with the residents of Yalta in early April, she stated that she will continue to work on his post.
And yet “cute” beauty active “matchmaker” with the policy. According to the information of Kommersant, United Russia still hopes to persuade her to log in to your listing until the second part of the party Congress, scheduled for June. But since Poklonskaya not like the man throwing words to the wind, there is a possibility that the include-it will include, however, the maximum as “locomotive” after the elections the Crimean Prosecutor in the Duma will not go, passing the mandate to the next.
A writer with roots: Zakhar Prilepin

Another prominent object of political courtship in this campaign became a famous writer Zakhar Prilepin. Given the “pochvennicheskaya” position of the writer (it is, in particular, has actively supported the militia of Donbass), it is not surprising that among his associates were hoping to see the same Zhuravlev from “homeland.” And even in early April presented to journalists of the writer as one of the main potential candidates in the party list. But the Prilepin, expressing support for “rodentum”, said that the Parliament is not going to go.
“I will not run for the elections”, — he explained TASS, adding that is not a member of the party. Another well-known writer and politician, leader of the unregistered “Other Russia” Eduard Limonov reminded that Prilepin is included in the Executive Committee of his party, and with just Zhuravlev’s pals.

On the other side of the political spectrum is also frantically looking for media heavyweights. The former party “the just cause” after the arrival of her business of the Ombudsman Boris Titov has become the Party of growth and announces a galaxy of well-known representatives of business, seem to be ready to join the General Council. “Our team — business people, successful in business, politics, economy. And now ready to implement the “economy of growth” for the whole country”, — said Titov “statements” at the end of March.
As the main possible bargaining chip in a political organization called the President and co-owner of the world’s second aluminium producer UC Rusal, billionaire Oleg Deripaska. But he chose to remain in their ancestral lands. Perhaps because I remembered about the failed marriage with even the old “the Right thing” the other captain’s business, Mikhail Prokhorov.
“To engage in politics and to be part of any political party currently, Oleg Deripaska, has no plans,” — said “Interfax” the representative of the businessman. By the way, membership in the General Council of the Party of increase is not obliged to obtain a membership card. But experienced Mogul chose not to tempt fate.
Overseas actor: Gerard Depardieu

The shortage of colorful characters in the party are ready for the most extravagant moves. In early 2013, right after the famous French actor Gerard Depardieu became a Russian citizen, addressed to him by the Deputy Chairman of the CPRF Central Committee Valery Rashkin. “I was sent to France Depardieu an official letter with a proposal to join the Communist party (…). I think it is with enormous respect for his father, who was a member of the party, and shares its position”, — said Rashkin.
Unknown, answered and said whether it is an actor on the call of Communist, but attempts to play on the glory of the French movie star in Russian politics continues. In the summer of 2015, the opposition RPR-PARNAS was invited Depardieu to take part in elections of the Governor of the Omsk region in September. And at last in mid-April, the international economic forum in Yalta, a member of the General Council of the Party of growth, Andrei Nazarov proposed to register the actor in the Crimea. The idea was even supported by the head of the Republic Sergey Aksenov. It is possible with great certainty to assume that Depardieu alone will not leave: he is in Russia and the former Soviet Union is perceived as a significant political figure. This is evidenced by including the fact that the Kiev authorities recognized him as a threat to national security of Ukraine.
A fighter without political rules: Jeff Monson

If Depardieu has become a factor of Russian policy in addition to its own will, then the famous American fighter, world champion in Brazilian JIU-jitsu Jeff Monson made to that certain efforts. In particular, it actively gazed at the liberal democratic party. The athlete in the autumn of 2014 expressed their desire to take Russian citizenship, and in the summer of 2015 to assist him in obtaining a passport with the two-headed eagle was called personally by the leader of the liberal Democrats Vladimir Zhirinovsky.
As recognized at the Federal level, persons in the camp of the liberal democratic party, in addition to founding father, and has not appeared, a charismatic fighter who has tattooed on his leg the Motherland, could become a new media face of the party. In Monson in the liberal democratic party made a serious bid — it actively invited to visit the regional office. In addition, on the party channel was announced a reality show with his participation. The news about athlete regularly covered in the LDPR TV.
But then something went wrong. Mention of the fighter disappear from the party media, and in April of this year it was a shock to all, a statement that after receiving Russian citizenship intends to join the Communist party, where would like to work with young people. While Monson has complained to the Tape.<url>, what is the procedure for obtaining Russian passports stalled. “The documents has long been commissioned and are under “no traffic”. This was said by a senior source in the government,” lamented the American.
The Communist party took such a carrier of the Communist idea without enthusiasm. Member of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the party, Nikolai kolomeytsev generally called the initiative Monson’s nonsense, noting that the Communist party does not need people “with a broken head”, especially from a country where the Communist idea was “scorched”. Later, Communist party leader Gennady Zyuganov agreed to consider the application of Monson, if any, will go.
In the liberal democratic party also came to life after the demarche of his protégé. Member of the Supreme Council of the party Yaroslav Nilov was quick to refute the news in Facebook about “repainting” of Monson. “Just got off the phone with Jeff Monson. In any Communist party he does not want to join and never say never! He has no contacts with the Communist party at all. This is a media interpretation! He has a desire to get Russian citizenship and to train young people!” — wrote the MP, adding a picture of Monson in a t-shirt of the liberal democratic party.
But the gap with yellow and blue, quite possibly, all-taki has taken place. On April 22, the anniversary of the birth of Vladimir Lenin of American fighter t-shirt with the inscription of the USSR side by side with Zyuganov laid flowers to the imperishable sarcophagus of Lenin in the mausoleum on red square.
However, he eventually said that any party does not intend to enter, and in General, according to the views of anarcho-Communist. In response Nilov from the liberal democratic party in his Facebook expressed the view that citizenship Monson not see, because he sought citizenship “as an athlete, and began to play politics”.
