^ A: United Russia does not have a coherent ideology but has been described by various sources as centrist, centre-right, or right-wing. United Russia also expresses support for far-right parties in Europe.

The All-Russian Political Party United Russia (Russian: Всероссийская политическая партия «Единая Россия», romanized: Vserossiyskaya politicheskaya partiya "Yedinaya Rossiya", ru) is a Russian political party, which is the current ruling party of Russia. Former President and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev is leader of this party. Incumbent President Vladimir Putin, though not a member of the party, is its de-facto Leader. The party has controlled Russia for many years.

The party has most of the seats in the State Duma and in the Regional Parliaments. Because of this, United Russia is the most powerful political party in Russia. The party was started on 1 December 2001 when Unity, Fatherland – All Russia, and the Our Home – Russia became one party.

Here are the two main parties, the 'Right-Wing' United Russia and the 'Statist' CPRF (Communist Party). United Russia was created in 2001 from the union of the Unity and Fatherland parties. Their 'Right-Wing' position in the frontier of 'Leftist' groups shows how hard it is to define United Russia but it is definitely trying to move Russia toward capitalism with stability.
