A distinctive feature of the SK was that its organizational work from the very beginning was focused not on the formation of its own structures, but on establishing contacts with supporters of the revival of the CPSU.
As an all-Russian organization, the party was registered by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation on September 29, 1992.
