In 1991, 1996 and 2000, the party put forward its candidate, Lev Ubozhko, in the presidential elections in Russia, but the candidate did not register because of a lack of signatures. In 1993 and 1995, the Conservative Party collected signatures to participate in the Duma election campaign, but was unable to collect them in sufficient quantities. The party participated in the parliamentary elections in 1999, received number 1 in the bulletin, which attracted the attention of the press. In the State Duma did not pass, gaining only 0.13% of the vote. In 2003, after Ubozhko’s death, there was a split in the party. The new leader of the Conservatives, Yuri Tegin, was unable to ensure entry into the elections. Tegin was removed from his post as chairman, and a lengthy litigation began between the old and the new party leadership. The conservative party was denied registration in 2005 due to insufficient members.
