CWDIS
Members of the organization advocated the creation of a "revolutionary workers' party", are not used with any structures. CWDIS began a unifying discussion with the Marxist Workers' Party, in the framework of which several seminars were held on the class nature of the USSR. However, the unification never took place. In 1998, at the Sixth Congress of the CWDIS in Moscow, one of the leaders of the organization, Sergei Biets, proposed to join the Committee for the Marxist International (KMI). His proposal then did not find support.[4]
In January 1999, the Seventh Congress was held, at which the organization decided to join the KMI. At the same congress, the CWDIS was renamed the Revolutionary Workers' Party.[5] At the same congress Boris Stomakhin was expelled from the organization.[6]
