History

The SDPR was established in May 1990, but this was preceded by a rather long "preparatory period". First (February 1989), the Social Democratic Confederation was created, bringing together a number of informal clubs and groups from different cities. In January 1990, KFOR, together with the Moscow club "Democratic Perestroika" and a representative of social democratic groups from the republic of the USSR (Ukraine, Belarus, Estonia), took part in the establishment of the Social Democratic Association - an organization of an all-union scale. At the same time, an organizing committee of the Social Democratic Party of the Russian Federation was formed in the SDA, the constituent congress of which was held on May 4, 1990 in Moscow. In the fall of 1990, the SDPR joined the Democratic Russia movement as a collective member. In addition, it planned to unite with the Republican Party of the Russian Federation, created in November 1990.https://megalektsii.ru/s7235t4.html Социал-демократическая партия Российской Федерации

In 1993, the SDPR entered the Yavlinsky-Boldyrev-Lukin electoral bloc (won 7.86% of the vote; its chairman, Anatoly Golov, passed from the SDPR to the State Duma).

In 1994, it split into two parts, in 1995 it formally united under the leadership of Sergei Belozertsev. Then party entered the electoral bloc “Faith, Labor, Conscience” (The bloc did not collect signatures, did not participate in the elections).https://web.archive.org/web/20160910235151/http://lawrussia.ru/texts/legal_861/doc861a481x911.htm ПОСТАНОВЛЕНИЕ ЦЕНТРИЗБИРКОМА РФ ОТ 26.09.1995 N 20/171-II О РЕГИСТРАЦИИ ИЗБИРАТЕЛЬНОГО БЛОКА ПО ВЫБОРАМ ДЕПУТАТОВ ГОСУДАРСТВЕННОЙ ДУМЫ ФЕДЕРАЛЬНОГО СОБРАНИЯ РОССИЙСКОЙ ФЕДЕРАЦИИ ВТОРОГО СОЗЫВА "ВЕРА, ТРУД, СОВЕСТЬ" (РОССИЙСКАЯ ПАРТИЯ СВОБОДНОГО ТРУДА, СОЦИАЛ-ДЕМОКРАТИЧЕСКАЯ ПАРТИЯ РОССИЙСКОЙ ФЕДЕРАЦИИ)

In 2002, the party was liquidated by the Ministry of Justice as not being re-registered under the new law.http://mrija2.narod.ru/docum/spravka12.doc Справка о Социал-демократическая партия Российской Федерации
