The Social Democratic Party of the Russian Federation (SDPR; Russian: Социал-демократическая партия Российской Федерации; СДПР; Sotsial-demokraticheskaya partiya Rossiyskoy Federatsii, SDPR) is the oldest social democratic organization in modern Russia, founded in May 1990. SDPR was one of the first new parties created in the USSR. LDPSU was created a little earlier - in April. SDPR has become the first new party, not only created, but also registered in Russia - registered by the Ministry of Justice of the RSFSR March 14, 1991, registration number 27.
At the end of 1994, it actually split into two parties with the same name: SDPR (chairman Alexander Obolensky) and SDPR (chairman Anatoly Golov). In September 1995, a formal unification was achieved, Sergei Belozertsev was elected as the new chairman. The election of S. Belozertsev as chairman did not solve the problems of the party - at the 8th Congress in December 1996, the post of chairman was abolished, and the Presidium of the Board began to lead the party.
In 2002, the SDPR was closed by a court decision, which allowed the Ministry of Justice to exclude it from the register of parties and register in May 2002 under the name of SDPR the party created by Mikhail Gorbachev and Konstantin Titov - the so-called New SDPR. The adoption of the name of the SDPR by this new party took place, despite the fact that the leadership of the SDPR, especially Alexander Obolensky and Andrei Lumpov, was at that time waging a judicial struggle with the Ministry of Justice to preserve the party, about which the members of the Gorbachev-Titov party were notified in advance. That created the incident of the simultaneous existence in Russia of two different parties with the same abbreviation.
On March 28, 2007, the Tagansky District Court of Moscow ruled to overturn the previous decision to close the SDPR and exclude it from the list of political parties. The Moscow City Court, having considered the cassation appeal of the Federal Registration Service, upheld the decision of the Tagansky District Court. However, at the suit of the Ministry of Justice on April 1, 2011, the Tverskoy District Court of Moscow made a decision: “To recognize the All-Russian public organization“ Social Democratic Party of the Russian Federation ”ceased to operate as a legal entity and to exclude it from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.”.
The reason for this, adopted behind the scenes, without the participation of representatives of the SDPR, the decision was an organizational mistake of the leadership of the SDPR, who replaced A.M. Obolensky, who left the party in 2008. It considered that it was not mandatory to submit the official reporting provided for by the law before the restoration of the record on the state registration of the SDPR in the departmental (Ministry of Justice) register of public associations.
Foundation[edit]
The social democratic wing in the informal movement of the Perestroika period emerged in 1987. Initially, there were clubs "Democratic Perestroika" in Moscow and "Perestroika" in Leningrad, on whose initiative the Social Democratic Association (SDA) was created in January 1990. During the founding congress of the SDA, a group decided to create a Russian Social Democratic party. The party was created at the I Constituent Congress on May 4-6, 1990 in Moscow (238 delegates from 104 city organizations from 4243 people took part). Among them were 6 people's deputies of the USSR, 4 - people's deputies of the RSFSR, 41 - local Soviets. The members of the CPSU practically did not participate in the creation of the party - there were only 13 of them among the delegates. The Social Democratic faction, which was part of the Democratic Union (DU) party, withdrew from the DU and joined the SDPR. Among the guests of the congress were also two Mensheviks who went through the Stalinist camps and exiles and made a connection between times and generations. So the SDPR continued the living tradition of the RSDLP. The Congress adopted the Charter of the SDPR and the Declaration of Programming Principles. The declared goal of the party's activities is "the creation of a civil society of social democracy", a break with the Bolshevik tradition, the proclamation of the implementation in practice of the real sovereignty and state independence of the Russian Federation with a confederation within the republic.
In July 1990, the SDPR joined the Democratic Alliance, a coalition of several parties that fell apart a month after Nikolay Travkin's interview with the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper criticizing the coalition.On November 17-18, 1990, the Republican Party of the Russian Federation (RPRF), formed on the basis of the Democratic Platform, which left the CPSU, at its Constituent Congress adopted a generally social democratic program and embarked on a course of unification with the SDPR.
In late 1990 - early 1991 Social Democrats, Republicans and close to them non-party People's Deputies of the RSFSR formed a united deputy group at the Congress of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR in the amount of 57 deputies, held a number of joint conferences and made fundamental decisions on the need to merge these two parties. In February-May 1991, either supporters or opponents of social democracy prevailed within the RPRF, and the process of unification of the two parties either accelerated or slowed down. In a number of cities, united organizations of the SDPR and the RPRF were created, in some places they turned out to be relatively stable (Saratov, Saint Petersburg, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, etc.), having existed for some time even after the Congress of the RPRF in June 1991 finally abandoned the idea of unification ... In the fall of 1993, the SDPR withdrew from this bloc.
History of the SDPR[edit]
Party in 1990—1993[edit]
On October 25-28, 1990, the II (Program) Congress of the SDPR was held in Sverdlovsk. It was attended by 94 delegates with a casting vote and 14 with an advisory vote, representing 62 local SDPR organizations: 40 guests were also present (14 from other parties and socio-political organizations; guests from the social democratic parties of Lithuania, Latvia, Moldova, The Democratic Platform (outside the CPSU), the Democratic Union, the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Russian Democratic Party). About 90% of the delegates to the congress are representatives of the humanitarian and technical intelligentsia, 10% are workers.
The main issue on the agenda was the discussion of the draft program of the Ways of Progress and Social Democracy Party, prepared by the Program Commission and the Presidium of the SDPR, to which more than 20 projects of individual authors and local party organizations of the SDPR were attached, as well as documents of the international social democratic movement. In addition, in the course of the congress, delegates met with the labor collectives of Sverdlovsk and the Oblast. On October 28, 1990, the delegates took part in the SDPR festival and the rally "For environmentally friendly Ural and Russia" in the Historical Park of Sverdlovsk, as well as in a rally organized by the initiative group of the Uralmashzavod strike committee. The delegates of the congress also laid flowers to the victims of the civil war at the place of execution of the royal family and at the eternal flame at the grave of the Communards.
At the II Congress, the Board of the SDPR was replenished with 11 more members, including five People's Deputies, including People's Deputies of the USSR and the RSFSR Sergey Belozertsev, Nikolai Tutov, as well as Leonid Volkov, L. Grigorchuk, Ilya Grinchenko, Valentin Davituliani, Vladimir Kardailsky, Eldar Kovrigin, Alexey Kondrashechkin, Vyacheslav Lyzlov, Sergey Markov, Nikolay Sazonov and others.
It was at the II Congress that the division of the SDPR into three main political currents began: right (social liberal), centrist and left. Already during the congress, on the initiative of Vyacheslav Lyzlov and Eldar Kovrigin, 10 delegates signed a "Declaration of Intent to Create a Social Liberal Faction in the SDPR," which states the need to "more decisively dissociate from Marxism." Organizationally, the Social Liberal Faction (SLF) took shape on October 26, 1991 (after V. Lyzlov and E. Kovrigin left the party, its coordinator was Vladimir Rybnikov, among the supporters were Yuri Khavkin, Anatoly Golov, Leonid Kulikov, Denis Pankin).
At the very end of the Second Congress, on the initiative of Igor Averkiev, the Social Democratic Center platform was formed, uniting part of the centrist and center-left members of the party. Pavel Kudyukin was elected the leader of the faction. The creation of the faction was a reaction to the actions of the social liberals. As the results of the voting in the leadership elections showed, the liberal faction split the party. The Social Democratic Center set itself the task of preventing a split in the party.
In 1990, three party members were elected to the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR, and several dozen more took leading positions in a number of city and regional councils. People's Deputy of the RSFSR O. Rumyantsev became the secretary of the Constitutional Commission of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR and one of the leading developers of the draft Constitution of the RSFSR submitted for national discussion (December 1990 - March 1991). From the second half of 1990 to the spring of 1991, practically the entire Social Democratic faction of the SDPR in the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR became a consultant to the Chairman Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR Boris Yeltsin. Subsequently, after his election as President of the Russian Federation, the Social Democrats continued their work mainly in a number of parliamentary commissions and the Constitutional Commission of the Congress of People's Deputies of Russia.
Among the major events that were organized by the SDPR in the second half of 1990 were:
- Festival SDPR in the Gorky Park in Moscow,
- more than a dozen large rallies and demonstrations in a number of cities of the RSFSR.
On December 22-23, 1990, the 3rd plenum of the SDPR Board made a decision that Russia can sign a new union treaty not earlier than the new Constitution of the Russian Federation is adopted and only if the other union republics agree.
The IV Plenum of the Board of the SDPR was held on February 2–3, 1991, and was held jointly with the Coordination Council of the Republican Party of the Russian Federation (RPRF), an allied social democrats. The following issues were considered: about the political situation in the country, about deepening, cooperation between the SDPR and the RPRF, privatization of state property, about the attitude towards the union referendum. Relevant resolutions were adopted.
On March 23, 1991, the V Plenum of the Board of the SDPR was held. It considered a report on the political situation in the country (Alexander Obolensky), on the attitude to the union and federal treaties, on the situation in connection with the split of the Social Democratic Party of Chuvashia, on the convocation of the III Congress of the SDPR. An Appeal to the President of the USSR and the Constitutional Court of the strike committees of miners and the corresponding agenda of the resolution were adopted.
On April 29, 1991, the VI Plenum of the Board of the SDPR was held in Leningrad. It discussed some issues on the upcoming III Congress of the SDPR.
From April 30 to May 2, 1991, the III Congress of the SDPR was held in Leningrad. Its delegates heard and discussed political reports on the situation in the country and the tasks of the SDPR at the current stage, made some changes to the Party Charter, and re-elected the governing and working bodies of the party. At the congress, a split appeared over the issue of nominating a candidate for the post of President of Russia. Two options were proposed: 1) to support the candidacy of Boris Yeltsin, 2) to nominate his own candidate. Although the surname of Alexander Obolensky was not named, it was implicitly assumed that this candidate would be he, as Mikhail Gorbachev's rival in the election of the chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR at the I Congress of People's Deputies of the USSR. Yeltsin's candidacy, which was lobbied by Rumyantsev, who later became the secretary of the constitutional commission under the President of Russia, won with a slight advantage.
In parallel with the congress on May 1, 1991, the VII Plenum of the Board of the SDPR was held in Leningrad, at which some of the organizational issues raised at the congress were considered.
VIII Plenum of the Board of the SDPR was held in Moscow on May 19, 1991.
On July 29-30, 1991, the IX Plenum of the Board of the SDPR was held. It discussed issues of attitude towards the project of the United Democratic Party (UDP) and a number of other issues. At the Plenum, N.I. Travkin made a presentation on the concept and ideas of creating an ODP. As a result, a resolution was adopted, which denied the possibility of the SDPR joining such a party.
On September 28-29, 1991, the X Plenum of the SDPR Board was held, at which the political situation in the country after August 1991 was considered, and the party's strategy for participating in the campaign for the election of heads of local administrations was developed.
In November 1991, the SDPR, along with other democratic-oriented parties, signed a protocol on cooperation with the President of Russia and constructive support for the reforms carried out by Boris N. Yeltsin. In November-December 1991, the SDPR took an active part in the work of the Organizing Committee and the Founding Congress of the Democratic Reform Movement (DDR).
According to the party leadership, at the beginning of 1992, the number of the SDPR was about 6,500 people. There were about 110 local primary organizations and more than 200 initiative groups to create primary cells of the SDPR. The strongest local SDPR organizations were located in Moscow (15 regional organizations and 4 in the Moscow Oblast), Saint Petersburg, Novosibirsk, Chelyabinsk, Orenburg, Novgorod, Perm, Volgograd, Tambov. The social and professional composition of the party: mainly representatives of the intelligentsia and highly qualified workers.
In January 1992, the Social Democratic Party of Russia was one of the founders of the New Russia bloc of political parties, together with the Peasant Party of Russia and the People's Party of Russia.
On February 13-16, 1992, the II session of the SDPR on the labor movement was held in Moscow. The session was attended by representatives of the Independent Trade Union of Miners of Russia (NPGR), the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Russia (FNPR), representatives of Sotsprof were present as observers.
On the same days, February 13-16, 1992, representatives of the SDPR took part in the work of the Constituent Congress of the Russian Democratic Reform Movement, but the party did not enter the movement.
From February 29 to March 1, 1992, the All-Russian conference of the SDPR on party building was held in Volgograd.
In March 1992, the third faction of the SDPR, "Left Platform", which included Galina Rakitskaya, Alexander Obolensky) and their supporters, took shape.
On March 10-11, the 11th plenum of the SDPR board was held in Moscow, which considered a number of organizational issues, problems of party building and the question of the next (IV) party congress, which was scheduled to be held before mid-1992.
On May 7-10, 1992, the IV Congress of the SDPR was held in Moscow and Lyubertsy, in which 103 delegates with a casting vote and 15 delegates with an advisory vote from more than 60 organizations with a total number of 2.5 thousand people took part. By a majority of 2/3 votes, the congress spoke in favor of "responsible interaction" with the government (the left wing proposed a transition to "constructive opposition"). Changes were made to the Charter, the post of Party Chairman was introduced. Boris Orlov was elected chairman of the SDPR, and Oleg Rumyantsev, Vladimir Rybnikov and Igor Averkiev were his deputies.
According to a survey of 75 participants in the 4th Congress of the SDPR, 51% of the polled delegates gravitated towards the Social Democratic Center faction, 20% - to the Social Liberal Faction, 12% - to the Left Platform. Until 1994, the St. Petersburg organization was mainly controlled by the right wing, the Moscow Social Democratic Organization (MSDO) - by the center-left (Yury Voronov, chairman of the MSDO executive committee).
The right-wing members of the MSDO in June 1992 created the Moscow Social Democratic Center (MSDC). In November 1992, on the basis of the MSDC, the Russian Social Democratic Center (RSDC) was formed, an organization of social-statist orientation, which initially included mainly the right and some of the centrists in the SDPR (Oleg Rumyantsev was elected chairman of the RSDC Council).
After the IV Congress of the SDPR, the increased friction between Boris Orlov and Oleg Rumyantsev led in September 1992 to the exclusion of Rumyantsev from the number of deputy party chairmen and from the Board of the SDPR. One of the reasons for the conflict was the disagreements between them on the national-state structure of Russia (B. Orlov is a supporter, and O. Rumyantsev is an opponent of the confederation) and the Kuril problem (B. Orlov - for the return of the islands, O. Rumyantsev - for the Russian-Japanese condominium).
Acting Chairman of the SDPR I.V. Averkiev with his associates - P.M.Kudyukin, N.I. Pustovetov and others - tried to work out a constructive policy of the party, opposing both the President and the Supreme Soviet. On March 17, 1993, the Statement of the Political Council of the SDPR was adopted: “One cannot choose between plague and cholera.” And on March 19, an open letter was sent to the President with a proposal to carry out a radical political reform through a broad dialogue of all healthy forces of civil society, the adoption of a new Constitution by the Constituent Assembly and the holding of early elections for all branches of government under the new legislation.
On May 7-10, 1993, the V Congress of the SDPR was held in Nizhny Novgorod, at which the majority turned out to be on the right wing. The left and the centrists refused to run for office. A new faction "United Social Democrats" (OSD) was created, which included the left and centrist Social Democrats, as well as part of the right. Anatoly Golov was elected the new chairman of the SDPR. The number of SDPR according to the credentials of the V Congress was 3600 people, which coincides with expert estimates. Officially announced after the 5th Congress by Sergei Belozertsev, the number of the party "about 5360 people in 48 regional branches" looks clearly overstated.
On May 29-30, 1993, at the regular Plenum of the Board, 3 deputy chairmen of the party (Leonid Kulikov, Sergei Belozertsev, Vladimir Boldyrev) and a political council of 11 people (including the chairman and three deputies) were elected. In the 1993 elections, the SDPR became one of the three official founders of the Yavlinsky-Boldyrev-Lukin (YABLoko) electoral association. Some of the right-wing Social Democrats ran on the lists of Gaidar's Choice of Russia bloc. The OSD faction negotiated a coalition with the RSDC O. Rumyantsev, as well as the Russian Green Party (RPZ) and the Labour Party (PT), but these attempts were unsuccessful (RSDC entered the Civic Union, PT joined Fatherland, RPZ made an unsuccessful attempt to speak on her own).
In the State Duma of the 1st convocation, elected on December 12, 1993, there were two members of the SDPR - Anatoly Golov (elected on the list of the Yavlinsky-Boldyrev-Lukin bloc) and Igor Lukashev (elected in a single-mandate constituency, Volgograd, was also a member of the YABLoko faction).
Party in 1994—1995[edit]
After 1993, the SDPR was rapidly pushed to the sidelines of political life. This is facilitated by internal splits in the party - at the end of 1994, two parallel VI extraordinary congresses were held, the participants of which did not recognize the legitimacy of their opponents.
The first of these congresses took place on October 28-29, 1994 in Moscow and is known as the VI Congress of the SDPR (Obolensky). In it, according to the Control and Auditing Commission, 58 delegates with a decisive vote participated, representing 1256 of the 1917 party members available at that time. Another VI Congress of the SDPR, known as the Golov Congress, was held in December 1994. According to the organizers of the congress, it was attended by about 70 delegates, representing 1,700 party members out of 3,200 available at that time.
Obolensky's congress was held on the initiative of the SDPR Control and Auditing Commission, which gave many reasons to consider it legitimate. The majority in the KKK belonged to the United Social Democrats, the largest faction in the party. The congress spoke in favor of participation in the Russian Social Democratic Union (RSDS) together with the RSDNP Vasily Lipitsky. Alexander Obolensky was elected chairman of the party, and Pavel Kudyukin, Vladimir Boldyrev and Arkady Didevich were his deputies. In addition to the chairman, his deputies and the chairman of the parliamentary group of the party Igor Lukashev, the board includes 15 more people elected by the congress on a personal basis. Nikolay Pustovetov became the executive secretary of the board, and Alexey Sysoev became the chairman of the KRC.
On September 4, 1995, new elections were held for the leadership of the SDPR. Sergei Belozertsev was elected chairman of the SDPR. At the plenum of the new Board on September 6, the Political Council and 4 deputy chairmen of the SDPR (Soltan Dzarasov, Sergey Didin, Anatoly Golov and Pavel Kudyukin) were elected.
On the eve of elections in December 1995, the SDPR joined the electoral association “Faith, Labor, Conscience” formed with the Russian Free Labor Party (RPST), which was registered on September 26 by the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation.[1] In addition to these two parties, it also includes the Party of Victims of Political Repression and the Union of Free Workers of Russia. The all-federal list of the bloc was headed by Alexander Orlov-Kretschmer (head of the RPST and the Round Table of Russian Business), Sergei Belozertsev and Lev Pyurbeev (head of the Party of Victims of Political Repressions). The bloc members failed to collect the 200 thousand signatures required for registration and he was not allowed to participate in the elections
Some members of the SDPR, in particular Obolensky, joined the Social Democrats electoral bloc established by the Russian Social Democratic Union, the Russian Democratic Reform Movement and the Political Movement “Young Social Democrats of Russia”, at the same time the party as a whole in the bloc did not enter because of the disagreement of many delegates of the SDPR congress with the composition of the bloc's members. The top three of the Social Democrats bloc were Gavriil Popov, Vasily Lipitsky and Oleg Bogomolov. The bloc was guided by the use of the experience of the Social Democrats of the Germany, Finland, Spain and Greece in Russian conditions. The Duma elections on December 17, 1995 turned out to be a major defeat for the bloc - it won only 0.13% of the vote.
Five members of the SDPR, Anatoly Golov, Igor Lukashev, Olga Beklemishcheva, Mikhail Emelyanov and Igor Malkov, were elected to the State Duma on the list of the Yabloko party.
Party in 1996-2000[edit]
In December 1996, at the VIII Congress of the SDPR, a new version of the Charter was adopted. She abolished the post of Party Chairman and re-introduced the Presidium of the Board, to which 5 people were elected: Olga Beklemishcheva, Anatoly Golov, Soltan Dzarasov, Pavel Kudyukin and Andrey Isaev. The post of the Chairman of the Board of SDPR was also introduced, to which Vyacheslav Makarov was elected.
Sergei Belozertsev, refused to recognize the VIII Congress of the SDPR and to hand over party documents and press to the new leadership, which greatly impeded the activities of the party.
In June 1998, the IX Congress of the SDPR was held, which reduced the Presidium to three people: Olga Beklemischeva, Pavel Kudyukin and Alexander Obolensky. However, internal conflicts led to the fact that some of the party members went to the Yabloko party, especially since all the Social Democrats who got into the State Duma were members of the Yabloko parliamentary faction.
After Beklemischeva and Kudyukin left the leadership of the party, Obolensky fought to preserve the party. A lawsuit was filed against Sergei Belozertsev demanding to return the seal and the constituent documents of the party. The Leninsky District Court of the city of Ulyanovsk recognized that the documents were being withheld illegally (decision in case No. 2-1628 / 2000 of April 17, 2000) and ordered the documents to be returned to the rightful owner - the Presidium of the SDPR Board. However, Belozertsev went on the run and has since been absent from his place of registration. He was killed on December 2, 2013 in Korolyov near Moscow.
Party in 2001-2007[edit]
In June 2001, the X Congress took place, which adopted a new Party Program. According to her, the party seeks "to implement the principles of democratic socialism, to a society of developed political, social and economic democracy" and proposes a Keynesian economic model, which presupposes active government regulation of the market. A feature of the program is the combination of social democracy with state-patriotic values and the understanding of Russia as an original civilization. The Congress elected a Presidium consisting of Soltan Dzarasov, Obolensky, Alexander Obolensky and Alfred Sieppi
On December 8, 2001, the 65th plenum of the Board of the Social Democratic Party of Russia (A. Obolensky) took place, the participants of which opposed the appropriation of the name of the party by supporters of Mikhail Gorbachev and Konstantin Titov and approved measures aimed at “defending the political status of the SDPR by legal means - up to the appeal to the Socialist International and the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. " It was decided “in any development of events to continue the activities of the SDPR while preserving the party as an organized political force”. In addition, the Board summed up the results of the competition and approved a new form of the SDPR membership card.
On March 6, 2002, the Tagansky Court of Moscow satisfied the claim of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation and liquidated the All-Russian Public Association "Social Democratic Party of Russia" as not re-registered until July 1, 1999, contrary to the requirements of the Law "On Public Associations". The district court excluded the SDPR from the unified state register of legal entities. The Tagansky court decision was appealed to the Moscow City Court.
Speaking in the Moscow City Court, Alexander Obolensky argued that the district court had no right at all to consider a claim for the liquidation of an all-Russian public organization. In motivating his position, he referred to the norms of the Civil Procedure Code (CPC), according to which such cases are subject to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Russia. However, the Moscow City Court considered Obolensky's arguments unfounded and on May 16, 2002 rejected the cassation appeal of the members of the SDPR Board, upholding the decision of the Tagansky intermunicipal court. After that, Obolensky and a member of the SDPR Board, Andrei Lumpov, began a legal battle against the Ministry of Justice for the restoration of the party's registration.
Despite the exclusion from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, the party continued its activities. On December 12-13, 2002, the XI Extraordinary Congress of the SDPR was held in the Odintsovsky District of the Moscow Oblast. Soltan Dzarasov, Alexander Obolensky and Alfred Sieppi were re-elected to the Presidium of the Management Board. From the Press Release:
“The peculiarity of this Congress was the semi-legal (informal) status of the party. In November 2001, well-known political figures M.S.Gorbachev and K.A.Titov held a founding congress of a new political organization and named it the SDPR. Then the actual theft of the name of the SDPR, which existed at that time for more than 11 years, was supported by the coordinated actions of the Ministry of Justice and the judiciary, who unlawfully deleted the SDPR from the state register in order to write in its place the Gorbachev-Titov party "(News of Social Democracy, No. 23 ( 217), December 2002)
On October 12, 2004, the Tagansky District Court of Moscow, having considered civil case No. 2-2166-04-bs on the claim of the Ministry of Justice against the public association Social-Democratic Party of the Russian Federation, made a decision: “The Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation in satisfying the claim against the Public Association the democratic party of the Russian Federation to refuse to liquidate the public association. " On May 22, 2005, the XII regular Congress of the SDPR was held in Moscow. The main issue on the agenda was the personnel issue - according to the Charter, it was necessary to rotate the leadership. Alexander Obolensky, Alfred Sieppi and Sergei Sheboldaev were elected to the Presidium of the SDPR Board. One of the resolutions of the Congress with the symbolic title "We are going our own way" defines the strategic tasks of the party as follows:
“The meaning of this path is to be with ordinary citizens in what is most urgent for them - the struggle for the very inalienable right to life, which is directly encroached upon by the creation of inhuman conditions of existence by the current Russian government. We are convinced that a good half of our fellow citizens, who systematically ignore the manipulations of the authorities in the course of elections and are left to their own devices, have the full moral and civil right to create their own institutions of self-organization in solving pressing everyday problems. And in the foreground of this struggle for life, there should be control and use of local self-government bodies in the interests of the population. An informal state within a state that meets the interests of the majority of the population at the closest and most understandable everyday level will inevitably lead to a change in the supreme power. Either due to the solidarity position of citizens, it will be taken during the elections according to any rules invented by the authorities, or the authorities will have no choice but to conduct them according to the rules agreed by the majority of the population. This is our way. "[2]
On March 28, 2007, the Tagansky District Court of Moscow, in the absence of the representative of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation at the meeting, determined: “Satisfy the application of the All-Russian public organization“ Social Democratic Party of the Russian Federation ”on the reversal of the execution of the court decision of March 6, 2002. In the turn of the execution of the court decision, include the All-Russian public organization "Social Democratic Party of the Russian Federation" in the departmental register of public associations. " After some time, the Moscow City Court considered the cassation appeal of the Federal Registration Service and upheld the decision of the Tagansky District Court of March 28, 2007. In December 2007, a representative of the SDPR A.I. Lumpov submitted an application to the Department for Non-Commercial Organizations of the FRS, containing a request to negotiations to clarify the procedure for the execution of a judicial act ”. The court decision on the restoration of the SDPR in the register of public associations has not yet been implemented.
On September 29, 2007, the XIII regular congress of the SDPR was held in Domodedovo, Moscow Oblast. The congress confirmed the decision of the Presidium to join the SDPR to the Coalition of Civil Forces and sent its representatives (Alexander Obolensky, Sergey Sheboldaev, Andrey Maltsev, Andrey Galkin and Andrey Lumpov) to the Public People's Council of Russia. The congress elected a new composition of the Presidium: Andrey Maltsev, Vladimir Maslov and Sergei Sheboldaev. Obolensky withdrew his candidacy in the Presidium elections and was elected to the KRC.
Party after 2007[edit]
On September 27-28, 2008, the XIV Extraordinary Congress of the Social Democratic Party of Russia was held in Nizhny Novgorod. Andrey Maltsev, Vladimir Maslov and Nikolai Prostov were elected to the Presidium of the SDPR Board. Obolensky quit the party.
On October 9-10, 2010, the 15th regular Congress of the SDPR was held in Nizhny Novgorod. Vladimir Maslov, Vladimir Michurin and Nikolai Prostov were elected as members of the Presidium of the SDPR Board.
On April 1, 2011, the Tverskoy District Court of Moscow made a decision: “To recognize the All-Russian public organization“ Social Democratic Party of the Russian Federation ”ceased to operate as a legal entity and to exclude it from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.” The reason for this, taken behind the scenes, without the participation of representatives of the SDPR, the decision was an organizational mistake of the leadership of the SDPR, which replaced Obolensky, who left the party in 2008. It considered that it was not obligatory to submit the official reporting provided for by the law before the restoration of the record on the state registration of the SDPR in the departmental (Ministry of Justice) register of public associations.
In 2012, under the organizational leadership of the DPR leader Andrei Bogdanov and the ideological leadership of the former activist of the "old" SDPR and the "new" SDPR, one of the organizers of the Russian marches Viktor Militarev, the third SDPR was created. Sirazhdin Ramazanov was elected chairman of the party's board at its III congress on March 21, 2013.
On April 27, 2014, a group of members of the Social Democratic Party of Russia, created in 1990, formed as a faction of internationalists, took part in the creation of the Union of Democratic Socialists.
