Russophiles for the Revival of the Fatherland

On November 1, 2008, a congress was held to create Revival of the Fatherland with 500 generals and officers of the Bulgarian Land Forces in attendance.[1] The two founding groups of the party were two Veterans' organizations; "For the Honor of the Pagan" and the "Green Alliance" with the party officially being founded in 2009 and receiving court recognition on February 11, 2010.[2] In 2014, the party became part of the Patriotic Front coalition. In 2019, the party has been part of the Coalition for Bulgaria led by the Alternative for Bulgarian Revival. In the 2019 Bulgarian local elections the party saw 64 councilors and 8 mayors elected.[3] During the party's congress on September 5, 2020, the party elected Nikolay Malinov as its leader and four members of its Russophile wing were elected to the party's executive board. For the 2021 Bulgarian general election the party was part of the Left Union for a Clean and Holy Republic coalition and signed a memorandum of cooperation with United Russia.[4][5][6]
