Dmitry Gennadyevich Gudkov (Russian: Дмитрий Геннадьевич Гудков; born 19 January 1980)[1] is a Russian politician and opposition leader.[2] He was elected as a member of the State Duma in 2011–2016.[3] His father, Gennady Gudkov, was also a Duma deputy in 2001–2012. Both father and son were members of the party A Just Russia.[4] Gudkov was expelled from the party on 13 March 2013 after it accused him of "calling on the American authorities to interfere in Russia’s internal affairs".[5][6] While Gudkov ran as candidate of Yabloko party[7][8] and worked with the non-systemic opposition, he lost in the 18 September 2016 election for the Russian Parliament.[9] In 2018, he and Ksenia Sobchak decided to align together, which lead to the creation of an opposition political party which is called the Party of Changes.[10]
