Following the death of Alexei Navalny and the dismantling of opposition structures in Russia, there is no one who can credibly unite the various factions of the opposition. Ilya Yashin, the chairman of the newly founded “Peaceful Russia” party, may have name recognition and charisma, but his leadership is by no means universally accepted.
Furthermore, while the opposition in exile can build networks and develop a platform, its direct influence on the population in Russia is limited due to state repression. The new party can therefore hardly have any concrete political impact at present. Its actual purpose is to keep personnel, ideas, and organizational structures ready for a possible political transition after Putin.
However, as long as the deep divisions within the Russian opposition are not overcome, it cannot present itself as a credible alternative to the current system.
