For Truth (Russian: За правду; Za pravdu) was a national-conservative political party in Russia. It was established in February 2020 by writer Zakhar Prilepin. On January 28, 2021, the party united with the Patriots of Russia party and A Just Russia.

History

The creation of the movement "For truth" was announced on 29 October 2019 at a press conference by Zakhar Prilepin, Alexander Kazakov, Vadim Samoilov, Eduard Boyakov and Vladislav Bevza.[6]

The party has called for Russia's annexation of eastern Ukrainian territories as well as the breakaway Georgian regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.[7]

On 30 November 2019, Prilepin confirmed a plan to transform the movement into a political party to participate in the elections.[8]

On 1 February 2020, the founding congress of the party was held. At the congress, Zakhar Prilepin was elected party leader.[9]

On 19 May 2020, the Ministry of Justice added party to the list of parties that can participate in the elections.[10]

The party participated in the 2020 regional elections in five regions. In the Ryazan region, the party received 7% of the vote, winning 2 seats in the regional parliament, and gaining free access to federal parliamentary elections. In other regions, the party received less than 5% of the votes without passing the electoral barrier.[11][12]
