On 30 May 2021, the party held its first congress.[3][5]
Ukrainian and Russian[citation needed] media outlets have speculated that the party is a project of Ukrainian oligarch Rinat Akhmetov and has been created to take votes away from Opposition Platform — For Life.[6][7] Kolesnikov stated in June 2021 that Akhmetov was "not happy" with the idea of creating the party and "he has nothing to do [with this]."[7] Kolesnikov also denied that the party's electorate were pro-Russian Ukrainians living in the country's southern and eastern regions, and instead claims that the party is centrist and has social conservatism at its core.[8] According to RBK Ukraine, the party was created as a "technical project" of the Office of the President of Ukraine.[9]
