"Raska" offered futures for the upcoming elections to the Duma

In the exchange game "Raska" a new family of instruments appeared - futures for the upcoming parliamentary elections. The participants of the stock simulator got the opportunity to acquire assets, the final cost of which will be determined depending on how many percent this or that political force will receive in the State Duma of the new convocation.

Recall that the Raska project was launched by the FINAM investment holding on April 1, 2005. The number of participants in the game, which is defined as an interactive satirical exchange simulator, now exceeds 8.5 thousand people. Players can buy and sell securities, becoming financial bigwigs. In most cases, the events taking place in Rashka represent the author's interpreted reflection of the political and economic realities in Russia.

According to FINAM, at the first stage six futures were launched in Rashka, each of which, as expected, has its own ticker. Thus, investors confident of the victory of United Russia are buying derivatives under the EROS code, communist fans invest in the assets of KPRF, Fair Russia - LIFE, “Motherland. KRO "- RDNA, Zhirinovsky - LDPR. In addition, the game features OTHR futures, representing all the parties that are not included in the list of the main ones, but are not going to surrender without a fight. As the pre-election situation evolves, the Raska creators reserve the right to introduce additional tools that reflect the emergence of new political forces.

Party "Raska" are not complete analogues of existing in real life - each has its own "interpreted" face. For example, the game description of United Russia states that this structure is a “bottomless treasure of patriotism and a pillar of national democracy”: The goals of "United Russia" are to pull the best ideas from competing parties, to back them up with loud cheers-words ("unity", "democracy", "stability", "fatherland", etc.) and leave due to this in the elections .

The mechanism of parliamentary futures trading is as follows. Initially, each of them receives a price from 0 to 100 rashes (currency of the exchange game). This indicator is determined depending on the forecast of the distribution of votes in the Duma elections - 1% of the electorate’s sympathies is equivalent to one game currency. The payments received by participants of the Raska derivatives market will correspond to the futures price, which will be established on the basis of the election results. Some of these derivatives can rise in price substantially, some - lose in value.

“We believe that election futures will arouse great interest among the participants in our game,” says Sergey Mikheev, Director General of Finam.ru. - “Raska” has always been politicized - our users compensated for the departure of public policy from real life in the virtual space. In addition, the introduction of new tools plays an important teaching role. An analogue of the RTS Index futures is already represented in our game. Election derivatives will allow Raska citizens to better understand the influence of a political factor on the change in the value of certain exchange assets. ”
