History

The party was established by Svyatoslav Fyodorov. In the 1995 parliamentary elections the party received 4% of the proportional representation vote,[1] failing to cross the electoral threshold. However, it won a single constituency seat in the State Duma.[2] Fyodorov contested the presidential elections the following year, finishing sixth out eleven candidates with 0.9% of the vote.

The party did not contest any further elections;[3] Fyodorov formed a new alliance, the Andreii Nikolayev and Svyatoslav Fyodorov Bloc, which won one seat.[4]
