About Russian Party of Social Democracy

Russian Party of Social Democracy, initially United Movement of Social Democracy was a political party in Russia. It was founded in February 1995 on the initiative of Alexander Nikolaevich Yakovlev, the 'architect of perestroika', who in 1994 had called for forming a united movement of Russian social democrats. At first it seemed that many notable perestroika era politicians with social-democratic or 'generally democratic' views would join the new organization. Among them were A. Golov, P.Bunich, I. Kivelidi, G. Popov, Y.Chernichenko.
