Front of National Revolutionary Action

The Front of National Revolutionary Action (FNRD; Russian: Фронт национал-революционного действия; ФНРД; Фронт национал-революционного действия, FNRD) was a youth national-patriotic organization that existed in Russia at the end of the 20th century. Until the end of 1992, it was called the Union of Russian Youth (SRM).

The predecessor of the FNRD, the Union of Russian Youth, was formed on 11 November 1991. Officially, this was to mark the birthday of Fyodor Dostoevsky; however, according to the members of the SRM, the day was chosen due to its proximity to the date of Hitler's beer hall putsch on 9 November. It was founded by leader Ilya Lazarenko [ru] and ideologue Alexey Shiropayev [ru]. At first, the Union of Russian Youth subscribed to typical Russian national-patriotic ideas of its time: Orthodox fundamentalism, antisemitism, and monarchism were preached in the ranks of the SRM while the Russian Empire and the White movement were glorified. But even at the time, the SRM stood out for its radicalism; the members of the SRM called themselves "monarcho-fascists" and criticized the White movement for the absence of a pogromist, Black Hundredist worldview.

The Union of Russian Youth did not have official registration, although attempts were made to register the organization. The social base of the organization were students and high-schoolers; any Russian young man no older than 25 could become a member of the SRM.

For a short period, the SRM was considered the youth branch of the Christian Revival Union (KhV), headed by Vladimir Osipov and Vyacheslav Demin, and also worked closely with the Russian Assembly, which was headed by taxi driver Igor Shcheglov, and Cossack organizations near Moscow.

The SRM did not organize its own actions (at least officially), but took an active part in many conservative events. These were mainly congresses, rallies, prayers, and processions held by the KhV Union and the Pamyat Society, as well as mass events organized by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (for example, a rally for the preservation of the USSR on 23 February 1991 on Manezhnaya Square in Moscow).

Already in 1992, a disengagement with traditional Orthodox-monarchist organizations took place: the SRM declared itself the legal successor of the All-Russian Fascist Party and the All-Russian National Revolutionary Labor and Workers 'and Peasants' Party of Fascists, which operated in the 30-40s among the White émigrés. The name of the organization also changed; it was now called the Union of Russian Youth - National Revolutionary Action (SRM-NRD) (Russian: Союз русской молодёжи — Национал-революционное действие (СРМ-НРД)), and since January 1993, the Front of National Revolutionary Action (FNRD).

In January, the National Revolutionary Action Front was formed in Moscow - a Russian youth radical right-wing organization that involves cooperation with foreign national revolutionary movements defending the interests of white peoples. The FNRD has its own organ - the newspaper Nash marsh. It is focused on creating a Russian new conservative ideology that embodies Orthodox, national, and social ideals
