There were 139 organizations that had the right to take part in the last elections to the Duma, including 6 purely women’s associations. These were the following movements: "Women for the Health of Nation", "Women’s Consolidated Union", "Women of Russia", the Movement of Women of Russia, the Russian Party of Social Protection of Women and the Movement of Mothers for Social Justice. 11 associations were headed by women. "Women of Russia" took part in the elections independently (their block was joined by the movement "Women for the Health of Nation"), as well as the Russian Party of Social Protection of Women. The Movement of Women of Russia entered into the political association "Fatherland – All Russia". Among the candidates who were to be elected from the party lists (225), the proportion of women was no less than 16% in any of the lists. Mind that there were 7% in 1993 and 14% in 1995. So the tendency to growing of the women’s proportion in the total number of candidates still exists. But as to the favorites of the election campaign – The Communist Party, "Fatherland – All Russia", "Apple" and "Bear" – the percent of women is lower than the average in the whole specter of claimants. In general there are 11% women among the candidates. The highest number of women – 17 percent – belong to the "Union of the Right Forces" list. The lowest proportion of women can bee seen in the lists of nationalist and so-called "patriotic" parties; for instance in the "Zhirinovsky Block" there are just 2.5% female candidates.
