Dunno what's worse, calling A Just Russia "social democratic" or using the same term for the bloody Communists...

None of these parties really have any ideology, they are basically there to support the regime.  It (and Rodina before it as well, it merged into AJR but now apparently exists again) were basically created to get left wing votes for a non-hostile party to make it look like elections were competitive; they don't care anymore but they'll keep them around for the same reason why the CDU technically still existed in East Germany.  They'll be allowed to oppose the government occasionally but other than that they'll just be a Potemkin opposition.  It's the same for all those parties, and honestly most of the parties that got on the ballot this year.  Haven't a clue how I'd have voted, either for a small pro-democracy party that had no chance or I'd have spoiled the paper in the approved manner.
