The 2018 presidential campaign of Boris Titov was announced on 26 November 2017, during a meeting of the federal council of the Party of Growth in Abrau-Dyurso.^[3] Titov is a somewhat marginal figure in the world of Russian politics, with 87% of the country's citizens admitting that they have "never heard of Boris Titov" in a survey held in December 2017.^[4] Political analysts were quick to dismiss Titov's electoral chances and predicted that he will garner no more than 1.5% of the vote.^[5]

Boris Yurievich Titov is a Russian politician, businessman, and Presidential Commissioner for Entrepreneurs’ Rights. He has led the Party of Growth previously known as "Just Cause" since February 2016. Titov represented his party in the 2018 Russian presidential election.

Founded on 18 February 2009 as a merger of the Union of Right Forces, Civilian Power and the Democratic Party of Russia, the party's main policy stances are liberal free market economy, democracy and protecting the rights of the middle class.
