The Coordination Council of the Russian opposition was a non-governmental political and civic body that existed in 2012—2013. Elections to the council were held on 20—22 October 2012. The Coordination Council of the first convocation was elected for one year, after which new elections were expected. However, they did not take place, and in October 2013, the council actually ceased to exist.[1]
Elections to the coordination council (CS) were organized after numerous mass political protests by Russian citizens, which began after the elections to the State Duma of the VI convocation on 4 December 2011, continued during the campaign for the election of the President of Russia, and after the presidential elections held on 4 March 2012.
The creation of the Coordination Council was announced at the second «March of Millions» on 12 June 2012.[2] The council was disbanded on 19 October 2013.[1]
