For the modern state-legal system of the Russian Federation, multiparty is characterized. Given this fact, the decision to adopt the law on political parties It was also due to the need for more accurately defined Policy values \u200b\u200bin aggregate with civilian public institutions. Given the rapid changes in the legal sphere, quantitative growth in state party, there was a need to create a new law.

Adopted by the State Duma on June 21, 2001, approved by the Federation Council on June 29 of the same year, the Federal Law "On Political Parties" N 95-FZ regulates the identity of all parties before the law. At the same time, their ideology and focusing do not matter.

The right provided for by the Federal Law "On Political Parties" allows you to voluntarily join or refrain from entry into political parties to create and participate in their direct activities. In the choice of orientation of public association, the citizen is guided exclusively by its interests and ideology.

One of the main tasks of the current Law 95-FZ is the regulation of social relations arising in the process of implementing citizens of their constitutional right to organize political movements. It is important to provide legal and social security In the conditions of difference in political views and aspirations in society.

Modern legislation states that the political party is created freely on voluntary principles. Any pressure from the federal and managerial bodies on its founders is considered unlawful.

Article 3 of the Law under consideration is given a clear explanation of the internal structure of the political party. According to the text of the second part of the article, it must comply with the following criteria:

• Regional departments of each should be based at least in half of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. In each of the cities there can be only one branch of a particular public organization.
• The minimum number of members of such an association should be 500 people.
  The headquarters of the leadership and all regional representation of the political party are located in the territory of the Russian Federation.
• The party emblem should differ from the symbolism of the Russian Federation and other states. All coincidences in this case are excluded. As a personal symbolism, an image that is offensive or threatening in relation to the state and its citizens cannot be used. Also, when using a different image, copyright should not be violated (art. 7, part 1-3).

In compliance with all the above conditions and with the appropriate solution, adopted at the constituent congress, the political party is considered to be created. It is necessary to clarify that any party decision is made on the basis of the overwhelming majority of politicians representing at least half of the territorial constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

A new socio-political association is entered into the state register as a legal entity. From that moment on, they may be accused of propaganda and information acts, not contrary to the Charter of the Constitution of the Russian Federation (Art. 11, Part 2, 3).

According to the current law 95-ФЗ, the actions of the political party cannot be intense. All its activities should be open and amenable to structural analysis. Principles and ideologies that are confirmed by one or another party should not violate the constitutional rights of citizens, threaten their lives or freedoms, regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion of these people. Otherwise, such a community recognizes extremist, and, as a result, illegal.

The elimination of the political party can be proclaimed at the congress, on the basis of the votes of most of its members. However, it can be abolished by decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation. This happens in cases:

• Non-compliance with the standards specified in paragraphs 4 and 5 of Art. 9,95-ФЗ;
• Defeats timely measures to stop violations, due to which the parties' activity was previously suspended;
• Refusal to participate in elections (Article 37);
• The qualitative inconsistency of regional branches with the requirements of subparagraph "A" Part 2 of Art. 3;
• The presence of ideology, agitation and activities recognized by extremist.

Thus, the state ensures the political and social security of citizens, not allowing to grow racial, interethnic and class dislike.

Like any other modern law, 95-ФЗ periodically undergoes edits and changes. This is due to constantly and rapidly changing political and socio-economic situation in the state.

In the 95 federal law "On political parties" the last amendments were made on December 28, 2016 and entered into force on March 1 of the following year.
