History

In September 2018 former members of the For life Yevhen Murayev reconstituted the party under its current name Nashi.[4]

In a November 2018 "RATING" opinion poll the party scored 4.9%.[5]

On 10 January 2019 the party elected party leader Murayev as their candidate in the 2019 Ukrainian presidential election.[6] On 7 March 2019 Muraev pulled out of the election favor of Oleksandr Vilkul.[7] He also announced that Vilkul's party Opposition Bloc - Party for Development and Peace and Nashi would soon merge.[7] Indeed in the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election the party joined a united party list with the political parties of Opposition Bloc — Party for Peace and Development, Revival and Trust Deeds.[8] In this election this list won 6 single-seat constituencies and its nationwide list won 3.23% of the votes meaning it did not overcome the 5% election barrier[9]

Ideology

According to Ukrainian journalists and political scientists, Nashi is one of many pro-Russian parties (Opoblok, Opposition Platform - For Life, etc.) formed on the wreckage of the now-defunct Party of Regions.[10][11][12]
