Government leaders
A Just Russia barely made it into the State Duma, and its longtime leader has vanished from public view. Is the Kremlin ready to pull the plug on the struggling party?
Sergey Mironov, the 73-year-old leader of A Just Russia, “was unable to maintain a coherent train of thought during his few public appearances and responses to pre-prepared questions, jumping from one idea to another and losing the original meaning of his remarks,” during a trip to Altai Krai in late August, according to the news outlet Sibexpress.
