ЭКОЛОГИЧЕСКАЯ ПОВЕСТКА В ПРОГРАММАХ ПОЛИТИЧЕСКИХ ПАРТИЙ НА ВЫБОРАХ В ГОСУДАРСТВЕННУЮ ДУМУ РОССИЙСКОЙ ФЕДЕРАЦИИ В 2021 ГОДУ

Abstract

The article provides a meaningful analysis of the ecological agenda and environmental requirements in the election programs of 14 Russian political parties in the elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation in 2021. The study is based on the most relevant material — the party programs were approved in June-August 2021 and have not yet been considered meaningfully in scientific research, especially under the "green", ecological angle. The novelty of the study is that the environmental agenda of political parties is first taken into the optics of research attention, while the article not only considers particular program provisions, but also gives meaningful assessments: the extent to which environmental issues are conceptualized or fragmented, unsystematic; the extent to which environmental protection recipes are consistent with global "green" ideology; the ecological demands of parties related to the expectations of their target electoral groups. The authors note that issues and tasks in the field of ecology are touched upon in the programs of 12 out of 14 parties admitted to the elections. Although environmental issues are disclosed in different ways, in different volumes and with different conceptual design, almost all parties note the high importance of the ecological agenda for the voter and the long-term development of the country. At the same time, most parties are outside the global "green" ideology and use ecological slogans instrumentally, taking into account the main requests of their electoral groups.
