United Russia

United Russia is a major political party in Russia, founded in 2001. It supports the policies of Vladimir Putin, who has served as both President and Prime Minister. The party promotes stability, economic growth, and national unity. It is considered to be pro-Putin and often dominates Russian politics, holding a majority in the State Duma, the lower house of Parliament. Critics argue that United Russia suppresses opposition and limits democratic practices, maintaining power through strong state control and influence over media and political processes.
