Party of Growth

Russia

Party of Growth (Russian: Партия Роста; Partiya Rosta (pronounced [ˈpartʲɪjə ˈrostə]; until March 2016, "Just (or Right) Cause" Pravoye Delo pronounced [ˈpravəjə ˈdʲɛɫə]) is a centre-right political party in Russia with representatives in several local legislatures. Founded on 18 February 2009 as a merger of the Union of Right Forces (partly, other members joined to Solidarnost), Civilian Power and the Democratic Party of Russia, the party's main policy stances are liberal free market economy, democracy and protecting the rights of the middle class. Although widely regarded as a pro-Kremlin party, it has already found itself in opposition to the presidential administration on several occasions.
