The Conceptual Party «Unity» (CPU; Russian: Концептуальная партия «Единение»; КПЕ; Kontseptual'naya partiya «Yedineniye», KPE) was a political party in Russia from 2000 to 2007, led by retired Major General Konstantin P. Petrov, not to be confused with the Unity Party of Russia (Yedinstvo), which existed from 1999 to 2001. In the 2003 Russian legislative election, the party won 1.2% of the popular vote and no seats. The party was disbanded on May 15, 2007 by the Supreme Court citing failure to prove the required registration numbers and is now known as Russian national movement "Course of Truth and Unity" (Russian: Российское общенародное движение "Курсом правды и Единения").
History and doctrine[]
The Social Security Conception of Dead Water (Russian: Концепция Общественной Безопасности "Мертвая Вода") is a religio-political doctrine named after the magical water from Russian folklore that heals the wounds of the dead. The doctrine was first elaborated by the sacerdotal council called Priestly Centre of the Internal Prophet of the Soviet Union, possibly existing since 1985 in Leningrad. The leader was the major general Konstantin P. Petrov (volkhv Meragor; 1945–2009). The doctrine was incorporated as the Conceptual Party Unity (Концептуальная Партия Единение), officially recognised in 2001, and the base of supporters organised themselves into the popular movement Towards the God-Power (К Богодержавию). After the party's liquidation in 2009, the movement reorganised itself as the Russian Nationwide Movement–Course of Truth and Unity (Российское Общенародное Движение "Курсом Правды и Единения") with a political branch known as the All-Russian Political Party–Course of Truth and Unity (Всероссийская Политическая Партия "Курсом Правды и Единения"). The Moscow branch and other branches of the movement refused to join the new party, and some incorporated as the Association of Supporters of the Social Security Conception (Объединение Сторонников Концепции Общественной Безопасности). The goal of the Dead Water movement is the liberation of Russia from Jewish ideas. Classical Russian literature, such as the work of Alexander Pushkin, is sacralised, and Dead Water adherents propose a rejection of Judeo-Christian terminology from the Russian language. Anti-Christianity, anti-Semitism, anti-Westernism and anti-communism are combined in teaching with an exaltation of Joseph Stalin's ideology.[2]
Platform[]
The primary goal of the party was governing Russian Federation and, ultimately, the world, in accordance with religio-political Conception of Social Security "Dead Water" (Концепция общественной безопасности Мёртвая вода), named after the magical water from Russian folklore that heals the wounds of the dead, and Sufficiently Universal Theory of Ruling (Достаточно общая теория управления)[3]
Criticism[]
It was recommended to be introduced at the Parliament hearing in 1995.[4] But later the party has been described as a neo-pagan religious cult, with explicit totalitarian communist agenda.[5][6][7] Although the party was neo-pagan, this aspect did not have a prominent place in its activities, and many of the supporters were not neo-pagans.[8]
