Russian Party of Social Democracy (Russian: Российская партия социальной демократии abbr. RPSD) was a political party in Russia. It was founded in February 1995 on the initiative of Alexander Nikolaevich Yakovlev the ‘architect of perestroika’ who in 1994 had called for forming a united movement of Russian social democrats. At first it seemed that many notable perestroika era politicians with social-democratic or ‘generally democratic’ views would join the new organization.
