The New Russia Party (Russian: Партия Новороссия; Partiya Novorossiya), is a political party in Ukraine founded by Russian separatists, under the leadership of Pavel Gubarev on 14 May 2014.[3][4]
The party was banned from participating in the 2014 Donbass parliamentary elections because they "were not able to hold a founding conference."[5] Members of the party took part in the election on the election lists of "Free Donbass".[5]
Founding
The party, officially the 'Social-Political Movement – Party of New Russia', [6] was founded on 13 May 2014 in Donetsk, Ukraine.[7] "The new party will be led only by those people who in this difficult time showed themselves as true patriots of their Motherland and proved themselves as true fighters and defenders of their Fatherland," party leader Gubarev said.[7]
The first congress was attended by pro-Russian separatist officials of the Donetsk People's Republic, Donbass Militia. Notable figures belonging to anti-semitic Russian-nationalist extremist groups were involved,[8] including: Donetsk Republic leader Pavel Gubarev, neo-Nazi/fascist/Stalinist writer Alexander Prokhanov,[8] fascist[9][10][11] political scientist and Eurasia Party leader Aleksandr Dugin, and Valery Korovin.[3][12] Both Prokhanov and Korovin are members of the ru, which advocate a "Eurasian Empire" to "save the peoples of Russia from degeneration and outside attack".[13] The congress announced the creation of a new self-declared confederate state called 'New Russia'. The state would, according to Dugin, have its capital city in Donetsk, Russian Orthodox Christianity as the state religion, and would nationalize major industries.[14] According to Gubarev the state would also include (the major cities currently not under control of separatists) Kharkiv, Kherson, Dnipropetrovsk, Mykolaiv and Zaporizhia.[15][16][17]
