Civic Initiative (GRANI; Russian: Гражданская инициатива; ГРАНИ; Grazhdanskaya initsiativa, GRANI) (Russian for "Facets") is a Russian centre-right political party. From 2018 to 2020, it was known as the Party of Changes (Russian: Партия перемен; Partiya peremen). The founder of the party is Andrey Nechayev, who served as Minister of Economic Development from 1992 to 1993. Alexei Kudrin, who took part in the 2011–2013 Russian protests and wished to play the role of mediator between the opposition and the government, created in April 2012 the "Committee for Civil Initiatives", the name for which was invented by Nechayev and liked the former finance minister. However, Nechayev initially planned to create a party together with Kudrin, and he did not mind. Such a project was eventually rejected due to the fact that, after talking with Putin, Kudrin "decided that it was too early to (create) the party, we must confine ourselves to creating a committee." Nechayev, who had already gathered people by that time, nevertheless decided to create a new center-right party. More information...
