The position of Russia’s political organizations on the question of recognizing the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. I did a quick survey. I’m not claiming this is a deep analysis of the movements’ positions. The table shows what becomes clear to a person after five minutes on a movement’s/party’s website. Additions are welcome. United Russia___________________________________________ Neither "yes" nor "no". A Just Russia_____________________________________ Neither "yes" nor "no." Ready to open a representative office of its parliamentary faction in Tskhinvali, following the example of what we did in Abkhazia Communist Party of the Russian Federation__________________________________________________ Recognize immediately. Liberal Democratic Party of Russia__________________________________________________  Recognize them, absolutely! Yabloko__________________________________________________ Do not recognize. Recognition of Georgia’s territorial integrity while simultaneously granting its autonomous regions broad self-determination rights. Union of Right Forces____________________________________________________ Neither "yes" nor "no." If, for whatever reason, the sides cannot find a way or are unable to reach agreement, the Union of Right Forces proposes appealing to international bodies. Great Russia (Saveliev) ______________________________________ Recognize United Civil Front____________________________________________________ Neither "yes" nor "no." More likely, do not recognize. RNDS (Kasyanov) _________________________________________  Neither "yes" nor "no." More likely, do not recognize. Our country must stop its policy of self-isolation and support international peacekeeping efforts. Republican Party of Russia (Ryzhkov) _____________________________________________ Not a single word on this topic at all. Democratic Party of Russia (Bogdanov) ____________________________________________ Recognize. NAROD ___________________________________________________ Recognize. Recognition of South Ossetia, Abkhazia, and Transnistria is a point in the Manifesto. National Bolshevik Party ______________________________________________________ Recognize. Movement Against Illegal Immigration _____________________________________________________ Recognize. Oborona ___________________________________________________ Neither "yes" nor "no." The international community, in particular the UN Security Council, must make every effort to bring an immediate halt to the military actions and move to peaceful negotiations. Civilian Power (Barshchevsky) _______________________________ Neither "yes" nor "no." I want to appeal to Georgia to withdraw its troops from the territory of South Ossetia as soon as possible and return to the negotiating table. Reincarnated Liberals ___________________________________ Neither "yes" nor "no." We demand the start of direct negotiations on the status of the unrecognized territories between the official representatives of Tbilisi, Sukhumi, and Tskhinvali, with the participation of international mediators. AKM-Left Front _____________________________________Neither "yes" nor "no".
