The Russian Public Workers' Association was a political party in Latvia during the inter-war period. Primarily representing Russian civil servants, it was led by Leontin Spolianski.[1]

History

The party was initially known as the Union of Russian Officials or the Party for Communal Activities.[1] It won a single seat in the 2nd Saeima after the 1925 elections, and gained a seat in the 1928 elections, by which time it had become the Russian Public Workers' Association. The 1931 elections saw it reduced back to a single seat in the 4th Saeima.
