Union Of The Russian People
The Union of Russian People (Russian: Союз Русского Народа) was a loyalist right-wing nationalist party, the most important among Black-Hundredist monarchist and antisemitic political organizations in the Russian Empire of 1905–1917.
Founded in October–November 1905 in Petersburg, URP has soon shown itself as a counter-revolutionary party of reactionary representatives of the urban lower middle class and middle class, landowners, nationalist intelligentsia, clergy, workers and peasantry. Its leaders organized a series of political assassinations of deputies and other representatives of parties which supported the Russian Revolution of 1905. Some modern academic researchers review URP activities in the context of Russian Fascism of 1900–10 model. Soon after the February Revolution of 1917 URP was suspended and its leader Alexander Dubrovin was arrested.
Abbreviations: English: URP (from translated name), SRN (from transcribed "Soyuz russkogo naroda"); Russian: СРН.
