Political party: Since April 19, 2003, leader of the Russian Party of Life (http://www.rpvita.ru/english/). In the December 2003 Duma elections, the RPZh ran in an electoral bloc with then Duma Speaker Gennady Seleznyov's Party of Russia's Rebirth. Mironov then launched "Russia of Justice" with Rodina and the Pensioners Party, in a move widely seen as Kremlin approved realignment of political forces and an attempt to peripheralise the Communist vote. Mironov, since taking over at Russia of Justice, is viewed largely as a runner of ideas for the Kremlin and has made several public announcements to the effect that he hopes for the return of Vladimir Putin to the Presidency in 2012.

Married to Lyubov Ivanovna. They have two children.
