Patriots of Russia (Russian: Патриоты России, Patrioty Rossii) was a left-wing political party in Russia. It was established in April 2005 by Gennady Semigin, who was expelled from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation after he failed in a power struggle with Gennady Zyuganov.

History

[edit]

In 2006 Gennadiy Semigin and his new party “Patriots of Russia” joined the Rodina faction in the Duma. Following Rodina's merger with the Russian Party of Life and the Russian Pensioners' Party under the leadership of Sergey Mironov in October 2006 to form the A Just Russia party, “Patriots of Russia” declared its intention to run as a separate party in the 2007 elections.

In 2008, the Party of Russia's Rebirth and Party of Peace and Unity teamed up with the party of Patriots of Russia[5][6] In the 2016 State Duma elections, one of its candidates was Alexander Rutskoy, former Vice President of Russia.

The Patriots of Russia announced that they would not run in the 2018 Russian presidential election and that the party would support current president Vladimir Putin for the elections.[7]

On 22 February 2021, the party united with the party For Truth, which subsequently merged into the A Just Russia party.

Ideology

[edit]

The party was officially democratic socialist and collectivist.[8] The party had many of the same policy positions as the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.
