TheRussian All-People's Union (Russian:Российский общенародный союз,romanized: Rossiyskiy obshchenarodnyy soyuz;ROS) was aRussian conservative political party formed in October 1991. In 2001, it merged into thePeople's Union (Russian:Народная Воля,romanized: Narodnaya Volya). In 2008, it was reorganized when the Narodnaya Volya dissolved itself. Its leader wasSergey Baburin.
The organization was founded byRussian nationalist-oriented members of the Russian Platform of theCPSU, and was launched on 26 October 1991 byRussian Supreme Soviet deputies of the factionRossiya. According to Nikolai Pavlov, one of the ROS leaders, the party was established as a "patriotic and democratic" force with the aim of uniting parties ofsocialist orientation. Pavlov also stated that they had similar positions with morecentrist organizations like the Cadet Party ofMikhail Astafyev, Viktor Aksiuchits'Christian Democratic Party of Russia, and theDemocratic Party of Russia; one of the ROS member organizations in 1992 was the Russian Party of Communists, which was led by A. Kryuchkov. The ROS was part of the United Opposition and laterNational Salvation Front, belonging to the FNS right-wing faction.[2] Besides socialist tendencies, the ROS had connections with traditional Russian nationalists and monarchists, and promotedpan-Slavist policies, including support forSerbia's expansion.[3]
The party published newspaperVremya (Time). The ROS took part in the1995 Russian legislative election within the blocPower to the People!, which was led by Baburin andNikolai Ryzhkov. It won 1.6% of votes, failing to pass the 5% barrier; the ROS got nine seats, all frommajoritarian districts. The party co-operated with other formations ofnationalist-communist orientation, such as theCommunist Party of Russian Federation, whose candidateGennady Zyuganov (supported by the ROS) was defeated in the1996 Russian presidential election by incumbentBoris Yeltsin. In 2001, the ROS joined with three othernationalist parties to form thePeople's Union (Narodnaya Volya). In 2008, the ROS was reorganized whenNarodnaya Volya dissolved itself.
On 22 December 2017, the ROS nominatedSergey Baburin as its candidate for the2018 Russian presidential election.[4] On 24 December, Baburin filed registration documents with theCentral Election Commission (CEC).[5] The CEC rejected Baburin's bid on 25 December because it identified violations in the information provided regarding 18 of his party's 48 representatives.[6] Baburin resubmitted the documents, and they were approved by the CEC.[7]
Baburin was nominated by his party again in December 2023 during the party's congress. He submitted documents to participate in the election on 26 December, which were registered on 29 December.[8][9] Baburin collected the required number of signatures, but decided to withdraw on the day before the deadline to submit signatures 30 January 2024 and endorsed Putin for the 2024 election.[10][11] The party was dissolved on 21 July 2025 for failing to take part in elections since 2018.[12]
In June 2025, theRussian Ministry of Justice filed a lawsuit in theSupreme Court to liquidate ROS, citing the party's failure to participate in elections over the past seven years.[13] On 21 July 2025, the Supreme Court upheld the claim, liquidating the party. The party's leader,Sergey Baburin, expressed his disagreement with its dissolution, calling it a "political action."[14]
