Sergei Baburin
A candidate of the Russian All-People’s Union, Baburin, 59, proposed in 2007 that the government pay each Russian citizen $150,000 as compensation for privatizing formerly stateowned enterprises after the fall of the Soviet Union. He supports a return to Soviet-style social programs.
He wants to strengthen Russia’s grip on Crimea through economic development. Baburin vowed to expand Russia’s role in an economic system with countries such as Brazil, India and China, so Russia isn’t subjected to U.S. and European sanctions.
Polls give Baburin less than 1% of the vote.
