New People (Russian: Новые люди, romanized: Novyye lyudi) is a political party in Russia formed in 2020. New People is considered a liberal party, and observers also often refer to it as centrist[7] or centre-right.[4]
The party opposes many policies of the incumbent United Russia government, although it has adopted an agnostic to moderately supportive stance towards Vladimir Putin specifically. Its abstention in the vote to recognise the Donetsk and Luhansk people's republics is an example.[8] It has therefore been described by critics as a spoiler that attracts young and liberal voters.[9]
New People is led by cosmetic company Faberlic founder Alexey Nechayev since its first party congress, held on August 8, 2020, in Moscow. Alexander Davankov is the head of the party executive committee.[10]
The party won 5.43% of the nationwide vote in the 2021 Russian legislative election, gaining 13 seats.[11]
