The author deals with the causes of organizational, conceptual and political crisis of this right-center party after failure of its leader N. Sarkozy at the presidential elections of 2012. Now the party founds itself in opposition. The diverse spectrum of the ideological and political streams that are united under the flag of this party is demonstrated and the possible ways of UNM’s evolution are analyzed.
