Mironov promises to break into State Duma.

MOSCOW, August 11 (Itar-Tass) - Just Russia leader Sergei Mironov
"cannot guarantee that nobody will leave the party anymore", but promises
that the main skeleton, the face of the party will remain".
Alexander Babakov, Mikhail Starshinov and Vasily Shestakov who joined
the Popular Front and were expelled from the Just Russia Party, "played no
role in the party, and it turned out that they were just fellow
travellers, while Yelena Vtorygina was really a comrade-in-arms who stood
at the formation of the party", Mironov noted in an interview with the
Izvestia newspaper, published on Thursday.
Mironov explains the mass exodus from Just Russia by the fact that
many of its members turned to be unready to embrace tough and principled
stand of the party which "grew stronger as a political force" and which
"has become the real opposition to United Russia".
Mironov also claimed that the very good rating of his party at the
start of the election race "scared United Russia very much and then luring
his colleagues started".
"The Kremlin is afraid of our ungovernable nature," the Just Russia
leader reckons. "But nobody have ever governed us. I have not given any
promises, and the party has always been independent. When I was a member
of the Russian Security Council, I closed personally my mouth. But when I
left the post of the Federation Council speaker, I untied my hands,"
Mironov continued.
"We are bracing for a tough version at the elections to the State
Duma: they will try to bar us from the elections, and we arrange
mechanisms in such a way so that it would not be possible to do this,"
Mironov noted. "We shall break into the State Duma this time too," he said
with conviction.
