Creation Igor Norchenko, a member of the Central Committee, cited the "People's Movement for the Power of God", created in 1997, as the "forerunner" of the KPE. Initially, the party was called "The All-Russian Political Public Organization - All-People's Party of Peaceful Will "Unity"". In July 2000, a founding congress was held in
Perm, and on 24 September 2002, the organization was registered by the Russian Ministry of Justice, founded by General Konstantin Petrov and entrepreneur Natalya Apalkova. The name "Conceptual Party "Unity"" was adopted at an extraordinary congress, which took place in April 2002 in
Zvenigorod.
Participation in elections The party participated in the
2003 Russian legislative election and won 1.17% of the vote. The top three of the federal list of candidates, in addition to party leader Konstantin Petrov, included Vladimir Gribov, General Director of Independent Gas Company LLC, and Dmitry Poltoratsky, composer and singer-songwriter. Among other well-known persons, the federal list includes Viktor Yefimov, General Director of the 1st Petersburg Macaroni Factory, and Valery Pyakin, Editor-in-Chief of the Measure for Measure newspaper. During the televised debate, Petrov announced support for the party by the
new religious movement "
Ringing Cedars of Russia" ("Anastasia"). He also stated that he sees the
Lord's Prayer as an appeal to Satan, that the
Russian Orthodox Church is a sect, and that
astrology should be returned "to the bosom of mathematical sciences." Representatives of other political forces accused the party of "sectarianism" (
Natalya Narochnitskaya,
Rodina Bloc) and "inciting religious hatred" (Yuly Nisnevich, "
New Course — Automobile Russia"). The leader of the party "For Holy Rus'", Sergei Popov, on air on
Public Russian Television, described the ideology of the KPE as "
Satanism" and also accused the party of using quasi-scientific and quasi-medical terminology in its program, similar to that used in the materials of new religious movements.
Liquidation On 15 May 2007, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation satisfied the claim of the Federal Registration Service for the liquidation of the party. The reason for the liquidation was cited as an insufficient number of registered members at the time of verification in several regions. On 10 July 2009, at the founding congress in the sanatorium "Vysokiy Bor" near
Rzhev, on the same ideological basis, former members of the KPE created a public organization - the Russian People's Movement "Course of Truth and Unity" (ROD KPE).) On 20 November 2013, the
Lefortovo District Court of Moscow recognized the book
Dead Water, the Concept of Public Security as extremist material. By decisions of other courts, the KPE books published under its publishing brand "Academy of Management" were also declared extremist: •

Sochi recognized as extremist the books of the anonymous group of authors "Internal Predictor" (VP): • Internal Predictor of the USSR.

Doctrine The Concept of Public Security "Dead Water" (Russian: Концепция Общественной Безопасности "Мертвая Вода") is a religiopolitical doctrine named after the magical water from Russian folklore that heals the wounds of the dead. The doctrine was first elaborated by the sacerdotal council called the Priestly Centre of the Internal Prophet of the Soviet Union, possibly existing since 1985 in
Leningrad. The doctrine was incorporated as the Conceptual Party "Unity" (Концептуальная Партия Единение), officially recognized in 2001, and the base of supporters organized themselves into the popular movement Towards the Power of God (К Богодержавию). After the party's liquidation, the Moscow branch and other branches of the movement refused to join the new movement, and some incorporated as the Association of Supporters of the Public Security Conception (Объединение Сторонников Концепции Общественной Безопасности). The Dead Water movement's goal is to liberate Russia from Jewish ideas. Classical Russian literature, such as the work of
Alexander Pushkin, is sacralized, and Dead Water adherents propose rejecting Judeo-Christian terminology from the Russian language. Anti-Christianity, antisemitism, anti-Westernism, and anti-communism are combined with an exaltation of
Joseph Stalin's ideology. ==Theoretical platform==
