Russian Labour Front (RTF; Russian: Российский трудовой фронт; РТФ), formerly Russian United Labour Front (ROT FRONT; Russian: Российский объединённый трудовой фронт; РОТ ФРОНТ) is a communist party in Russia. It was formed by Left Front, Russian Communist Workers' Party and several unions on 4 December 2012.[citation needed] On 27 February 2020 at the request Law "about political parties", the Supreme Court of Russia liquidated the party on the claim of the Ministry of Justice for insufficient participation in regional elections for 7 years.[2]
2022 split
In 2022, the organization split. On 20 March 2022, the RCWP headquarters in St. Petersburg hosted a conference "Za Pobedu! (For the Victory!)" in support of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which was also attended by The Other Russia of E. V. Limonov and Vladimir Kvachkov.[3] The attempt of Viktor Tyulkin and Stepan Malentsov to cooperate with the National Bolsheviks caused contradictions: some of the party members took a completely anti-war position, in contrast to the intermediate position of the leadership of the RCWP. In addition, there were contradictions on the issue of participation in the elections: if the RCWP was in favor of participation and planned to re-register the Front's companies, then the supporters of Alexander Batov opposed any participation in the elections. Alexander Batov and his supporters were expelled from the RCWP, some members of the Moscow and Novosibirsk branches left the party. On July 1, 2022, the organization was rebranded: the word "united" was removed from the name, the abbreviated name was changed from "ROT FRONT" to "RTF", the design of the website was changed, where the blue color began to prevail, not red, communist symbols were removed from the organization's symbols. In turn, the RKRP does not recognize the split, plans to recreate the ROT FRONT together with the United Communist Party.[4]
