Russian Bloc (Ukrainian: Руський блок, romanized: Ruskyi blok; Russian: Русский блок, romanized: Russky blok) is a currently (since 13 May 2014) banned political party in Ukraine that was registered in March 2001.[1][2]

The party associates itself with the

Russian Federation and employs the Russian tricolor. It promotes the idea of a united, Pan-East-Slavic state. The former name of the party is the Party For One Rus' (Ukrainian: За Русь єдину, Russian: За Русь единую).[2]

History

The history of the party began with the creation in June 1999 of the "Russian Movement of Ukraine".[1] It was formally registered as a political party in March 2001[1] under the name "For One Rus".[2]

During the

constituencies (it had competed in 10 constituencies[7]) and thus failed to win parliamentary representation.[8] The parties best results were in constituency 233 (in Sevastopol) with 27.80%, constituency 223 (in Kyiv) with 8.22% and in constituency 43 (in Donetsk) with 4.23% of the votes.[7]

Banning

The

2014 pro-Russian conflict in Ukraine.[9]

On 13 May 2014 the District Administrative Court in Kyiv banned the party "in connection with calls to overthrow the constitutional order and the violation of the territorial integrity of Ukraine".[1] The party appealed the sentence, but on 17 June 2014 the Kyiv Court of Appeals confirmed the decision and terminated the party.[10]
