| - The Union of the Russian People (Russian: Союз Русского Народа, romanized Soiuz russkogo naroda) was a Black-Hundredist counter-revolutionary, nationalist, monarchist and antisemitic political organization in the Russian Empire. It was formed in October 1905 in St. Petersburg. The Union of the Russian People (URP) combined reactionary representatives of urban petty bourgeoisie, landowners, nationalist intelligentsia, clergy, urban declassés, workers and peasantry. URP was founded by Alexander Dubrovin (chairman), Vladimir Gringmut, Vladimir Purishkevich and others. The organization's charter was adopted in August 1906. URP stood for unity and indivisibility of Russia, preservation of autocracy and russification of non-Russian population. The main organ of the organization was Head Council of 12 members. The URP had numerous offices in many cities, towns and even villages (in 1905-1907, there were up to 900 of them), the biggest of which were located in Moscow, Odessa, Kiev, Volhyn guberniya, Novgorod, Saratov, Astrakhan. URP’s chief newspaper was Russkoe znamya (Russian Banner). This newspaper was the first to publish the The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. The most popular URP newspaper in province was Pochayevsky listok (The Pochayev Circular). URP also printed its propaganda materials in Moskovskiye Vedomosti (Moscow News), Grazhdanin (Citizen), Kievlyanin (Kievan) and others. URP’s was the main instigator (through meetings, gatherings, lectures, manifestations and mass public prayers) of the pogroms against Jews (especially in 1906 in Gomel, Yalta, Bialystok, Odessa, Sedlets and other cities), in which the URP members often took active part. In October 1906, they formed a black-hundredist organization called Ob’yedinyonniy russkiy narod (Объединённый русский народ, or Russian People United), in which the URP played a leading role. In 1908 the clergy belonging to the Union petitioned for a right to carry firearms, but the petition was denied. The Union actively campaigned against Ukrainian self-determination, as well as against promoting of Ukrainian culture in general, and against the cult of the great Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko in particular. In 1908-1910, the infighting in the URP broke the organization into several smaller entities, which were in constant conflict with each other - Soyuz Mikhaila Arkhangela (Союз Михаила Архангела, or Union of Archangel Michael), Soyuz russkogo naroda (Союз русского народа, or Union of the Russian People ), Vserossiysky dubrovinsky Soyuz russkogo naroda v Peterburge (Всероссийский дубровинский Союз русского народа в Петербурге, or Dubrovin’s All-Russian Union of the Russian People in Petersburg) etc. After the February Revolution of 1917, all of the black-hundredist organizations were forcefully dissolved and banned.
