| Summary: | The People’s Labor Union of Russian Solidarists is the least popular among Russian
historians of organizations operating on the territory of the Russian Federation.
Formed in Serbia in 1930, by emigrants, it was the oldest Russian national
organization opposing the communist regime in the USSR. During the years of
perestroika, the solidarists were unable to create a unified party structure in the
Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic and act independently. As a result,
the organization collaborated with anti-communists from «Democratic Russia»,
influenced the formation of the Russian Christian Democratic Movement. Members
of the People’s Labor Union of Russian Solidarists actively participated in the
discussion of economic and social issues relevant to the new statehood, including
national administrative construction. The analysis of the organization’s documents,
memoirs of its participants, and party journalism allow us to conclude that the lack
of a unified program for the transformation of the country, focusing primarily on
criticism of the Soviet experience, led to the transformation of the organization into
a «discussion club» with further disappearance from the political life of the country.
However, the created atmosphere of rejection of the national administrative
reforms of the USSR led the solidarists and their supporters to justify and glorify
the dissolution of the USSR, the loss of a number of territories and the creation of
numerous points of confrontation between the federal government and the subjects
of the federation. |
