The group, called the People’s Deputies of Russia, has drafted a new constitution and developed plans to hold elections for a newly formed parliament. They even voted to change the name of their homeland to the Russian Republic from the Russian Federation.

“All of us know that the time when Putin’s regime will fall down could be very soon and we must prepare for that period and organize laws for the people, to build a new parliament, to build new democratic institutions.”
