History
Former version of the logo
In the 2007 Russian regional elections "The Greens" gained 7.58% of the votes in the Samara Oblast, gaining deputies in the Samara Regional Duma.[3]
Before the 2007 parliamentary elections, the Russian Central Electoral Commission decided that the Russian Ecological Party "The Greens" would not be able to stand, due to an alleged large number of faked signatures (17%, more than the allowed 5%) in their supporters' lists.[4]
In 2008 the XV congress of the party decided to transform the party into the social movement Russian Ecological Movement "Greens" (Российское экологическое движение «Зеленые»). It advised all members and supporters of the party to join A Just Russia.[5]
In 2012 the members met and decided to register as a party and not as a social movement.[6] The decision was carried out successfully and the party registered itself.[7]
On May 15, 2021, an extraordinary party congress was held at the President Hotel in Moscow, which was attended by more than 80 delegates from 53 regions. Members previously expelled from the party before the congress were reinstated.
The congress elected Andrey Nagibin as the new chairman and leader of the Russian Ecological Party "The Greens", director of the All-Russian Green Patrol movement, replacing Anatoly Panfilov in this post. The congress also elected co-chairs of the party of pilot-cosmonaut Sergey Revin, chairman of the council of the Bashkortostan regional branch, Deputy of the State Assembly - Kurultai of the Republic of Bashkortostan Rufina Shagapova, chairman of the Council of the regional branch of the Krasnoyarsk Krai, member of the Krasnoyarsk City Council of Deputies Sergey Shakhmatov and director of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Kronotsky State Reserve" Peter Hairpin. The congress adopted a new edition of the Party Charter.[9]
On April 29, 2021, the official website of "The Greens" party published a statement of its chairman Panfilov A.[10] saying that a group of people headed by some A. Komarov on instructions of the state authorities conspired to seize the party with the aim of preventing it from participating in the 2021 Duma elections.
On May 12, 2021, the Central Council expelled from the party former deputy Minister of Resources of Krasnoyarsk Krai Shakhmatov S. for participation in raider seizure of the party.[11]
A group of people involved in the takeover of the party sent out a press release to mass media saying that on May 15 in "President-hotel" an illegitimate congress of the party took place;[12] there it was decided to overthrow the former leadership and to change the charter which made it impossible for the party to participate in elections to the State Duma on September 19, 2021, because the charter has to be presented not later than one year before the elections.[13]
The "legitimate" congress of the party was set to take place on May 21–22, 2021, at the Cosmos Hotel.[14]
The Ministry of Justice of Russian Federation recognized the decision of the extraordinary congress of May 15, 2021 as legitimate, and a record of the change of leadership and legal address was made in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.[15]
On October 28, 2023, an extraordinary congress of the Green Party took place.[16] As a result, Andrei Nagibin retained the post of Chairman of the party. The co-chairs of the party were the chairman of the council of the Bashkortostan regional branch, Deputy of the State Assembly - Kurultai of the Bashkortostan Republic Rufina Shagapova, the chairman of the council of the regional branch of the Krasnoyarsk Krai Sergei Shakhmatov, the chairman of the council of the Moscow regional branch Alexandra Kudzagova.[17]
