Young Russia (liberal movement)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The All-Russian Political Social Movement "Young Russia" (Russian: Общероссийское Политическое Общественное Движение «Россия Молодая» (ОПОД «Россия Молодая»)) was a Russian liberal political movement “created on the Internet”[1] which existed from 1998 to 2001. It was one of the founders of the electoral bloc Union of Right Forces.[2] The head of the movement was the co-chairman of the People's Freedom Party and one of the leaders of the Solidarnost, Boris Nemtsov.[3]

In 2001 the movement announced their decision to self-disband with the goal to join the Union of Right Forces, following a similar decision of Irina Khakamada's "Common Cause" («Общее дело») movement.[4]
