A popular front is a term for a political coalition which is commonly made up of parties ranging ideologically from liberalism to communism, historically for the purpose of opposing the rise of fascism or far-right politics in general. In Post-Soviet states, the word has a different meaning, instead connoting a liberal intellectual organization formed to support self-determination for the territory in which it operated.
