History

Power to the People! was established in 1995 as an alliance of several groups, including the Russian All-People's Union, the For Social Equality movement, and the Popular Movement "Union". In the 1995 Russian legislative election, the alliance received 1.6% of the proportional representation vote,^[2] failing to cross the electoral threshold; it won nine constituency seats in the State Duma,^[3] and sided with other deputies in the Narodovlastie [ru] faction. The party did not contest any further elections;^[4] the Russian All-People's Union contested the 1999 Russian legislative election alone, winning two seats.
