Russian Communist Workers Party

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Russian Communist Workers' Party (in Russian: Российская Коммунистическая Рабочая Партия; transcription: Rossiiskaja Kommunističeskaja Rabočaja Partija) was a communist party in Russia. It was established in November 1991 with the aim of resurrecting socialism and the USSR.

It published a newspaper called Trudovaja Rossija (Трудовая Россия; "Working People's Russia") and the journal Sovetskij Sojuz (Советский Союз; "Soviet Union").

The RKRP considered the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF) to be reformist. In October 2001 it merged with the Russian Party of Communists to form the Russian Communist Workers' Party – Revolutionary Party of Communists.
