The For the Family (Russian: За семью, romanized: Za sem'yu; ZS) is a Russian Orthodox-traditionalist party founded by Andrey Kormukhin, leader of the Sorok Sorokov Movement, on 25 March 2023.

History

Foundation

12 March 2023 at the conference of the initiative groups of Moscow and the Moscow Oblast of the traditionalist movement "For the Family!" voted unanimously for the establishment of the Russian traditionalist political party of the same name. At the conference, it was noted that the members of the movement "consider it most important at the present stage at the legislative level to promote the strengthening of the positions of the traditional large family".[1][2]

On 13 March, the initiative to create a party was supported by the Russian Orthodox Church.[3]

On 25 March 2023, the founding congress of the party was held. The congress was attended by 300 delegates from 57 regions of the country. Andrey Kormukhin, the coordinator and founder of the Sorok Sorokov Movement, was elected chairman of the party.[4] The political council included, in particular, Vladimir Krupennikov — United Russia deputy of the State Duma of the 5th, 6th, 7th convocations, war correspondent Anastasia Mikhailovskaya, retired Foreign Intelligence Service general Leonid Reshetnikov, political scientist Vladimir Samoilov, journalist Anna Shafran.[1][5]

The party is in the process of state registration. Kormukhin said that the party is ready to take part in the 2023 regional elections if it can be registered by that time.[6][7]

Party program

Laws protecting motherhood, traditional spiritual and moral values, a stable independent Russian economy, healthcare-oriented medicine, de-urbanization and development of abandoned territories — these and other issues were included in the party program.[1][8]
