A Russian political party, New People, founded in 2020, has gained significant support, now at 13.4%, as traditional parties decline. Internet restrictions and wartime frustrations have pushed voters towards this party, which offers a controlled outlet for dissent. Despite its Kremlin ties, New People positions itself as a moderate alternative, advocating for limited reforms while avoiding direct criticism of Putin. Analysts suggest its rise reflects growing anti-system sentiment among Russians seeking a voice amid increasing censorship.
