Ex-leader of Russian Union of Right Forces party Leonid Gozman (L), head of business association 'Business Russia' and ex-leader of the party 'Civic Force' Boris Titov speak during a constitutive congress of 'The Right Thing' party in Moscow on November 16, 2008. The three Russian political groups united on to form the new liberal party called 'The Right Thing' under a plan that party leaders said had been set out by the Kremlin. Delegates at the party's founding congress in a Moscow hotel voted by a show of hands to approve the formation of the new party, criticised by some other opposition groups as being part of Kremlin moves to manage democracy in Russia.
