Democratic Union (Russian: Демократический Союз) was the first an openly proclaimed political opposition party in the Soviet Union. It was founded on May 8, 1988 by a group of Soviet dissidents including Valeriya Novodvorskaya and Yevgeniya Debryanskaya. The party has become known after a series of unsanctioned demonstrations organized and consistently taking place from 1988 to 1991 in Moscow and Leningrad (Saint Petersburg), with the protesters getting arrested. The party charter specifies the main goals of the organization (among others) as follows:

Popularization of liberal ideas
Strengthening the rule of law
Supporting liberal reforms
Support and protection of private property
Fighting against occurrence of communism, nazism, fascism, and socialism.
