All-Russian Union of Landowners

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The All-Russian Union of Landowners (Russian: Всероссийский союз землевладельцев) was a right-wing party in Russia. The party was founded in 1905 and lobbied the Tsarist government to defend landowners' interests.[1] Its founding conference was held in Moscow on November 17, 1905, gathering 203 landowners from 33 provinces.[2][3]

The party held its second congress in Moscow in 1906.[4] The Union withered away in 1907 as peasantry unrest declined.[5]
