TheSocial Democratic Party of Russia (SDPR;Russian:Социал-демократическая партия России; СДПР;Sotsial-demokraticheskaya partiya Rossii,SDPR) was apolitical party founded inRussia byMikhail Gorbachev on November 26, 2001. The first name of the party wasSocial Democratic Party of Russia (United).

The Social Democratic Party of Russia was acoalition of severalsocial democratic parties, had approximately 12,000 members, but had no seats in the RussianState Duma. Gorbachev resigned as party leader in May 2004 over a disagreement with party chairmanKonstantin Titov who had insisted, over Gorbachev's opposition, on a deal with the pro-KremlinUnited Russia Party in the previous year's general election.

Konstantin Titov, in turn, announced his resignation at the 3rd convention of the party held September 4, 2004. The convention elected the new chairman,Vladimir Kishenin, leader of theParty of Social Justice, who was favoured by Titov.

On April 13, 2007, the party lost its official status due to its small membership. The vast majority of the party's base has regrouped under the banner ofUnion of Social-Democrats, a new party organized and led by Mikhail Gorbachev, founded on October 20, 2007.^[1]
