These forces are not legally formalized, but since 2012 there has been a Permanent Conference of the National Patriotic Forces of Russia, which claims to unite all Russians patriots: from social democrats to monarchists.[6]
History edit
Leftists and nationalists have formed eclectic alliances in Russia since perestroika, a clear example being Alexander Nevzorov's Nashi movement in the early 1990s.
The National Salvation Front was a coalition of leftists and nationalists formed to oppose President Yeltsin and directly involved in the side of the Supreme Soviet during the 1993 constitutional crisis.
After the NSF was banned, leftists and nationalists rallied around the Communist Party of the Russian Federation. In 1996, the People's Patriotic Union of Russia (NPSR) alliance was created by the CPRF, which united part of the social conservative and left-nationalist movements in order to support Zyuganov's presidential candidacies.[7]
After the conflicts between Zyuganov and the leader of the NPSR Gennady Semigin, the latter left the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and founded the Patriots of Russia party, and the activity of the NPSR was de facto terminated.[8]
In July 2022, the leader of the CPRF Gennady Zyuganov stated he would allow the party to merge with the left-conservative party, A Just Russia — For Truth, but only if they adopted the Communist program.[9] The day before, the leader of the A Just Russia Sergey Mironov said that he "does not see any obstacles to the creation in Russia of a large coalition of left-wing patriotic forces".[10]

In August 2012, with the participation of Yury Boldyrev, the Permanent Conference of the National Patriotic Forces of Russia was founded.[13][14]
The PDS NPSR, together with the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the Left Front, participated in the nomination and presidential campaign of Pavel Grudinin in the 2018 Russian presidential election.[15][16]
Later, after the presidential elections, the PDS of the NPSR and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation supported the continuation of cooperation.[17][18]
As of May 2019, the PDS NPSR includes 29 movements.[12]
The movement strongly opposed the amendments to the Russian constitution in 2020.[19]
