History

In September 2018, former member of For Life Yevheniy Murayev reconstituted the party under its current name Nashi.[2]

In a November 2018 "RATING" opinion poll the party scored 4.9%.[3]

On 10 January 2019, the party elected party leader Murayev as their candidate in the 2019 Ukrainian presidential election.[4] On 7 March 2019, Muraev pulled out of the election favor of Oleksandr Vilkul.[5] He also announced that Vilkul's party Opposition Bloc - Party for Development and Peace and Nashi would soon merge.[5] Indeed, in the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election the party joined a united party list with the political parties of Opposition Bloc — Party for Peace and Development, Revival and Trust Deeds.[6] In this election this list won six single-seat constituencies and its nationwide list won 3.23% of the votes meaning it did not overcome the 5% election barrier[7] In 2020, the political party participated in local elections as part of regional electoral blocs (Kernes Bloc — Successful Kharkiv, Trust Deeds, etc.). In the Yuzhnenskoy city territorial community, the political party took the majority. In the fall of 2021, Yevgeny Muraev presented the New Country Formula on the Nash party TV channel.

Ideology

Leadership

The party is headed by deputies of VII and VIII convocations. Yevheniy Murayev[13] and Alexander Dolzhenkov,[14] which were previously part of the party "OPZZH" and "Party of Regions". It was announced the creation of a youth organization led by Dmitry Safonov.[15]

The party has a pro-Russian stance.[16][17][18]
