Beer Lovers Party (Russia)

Initially it was a kind of practical joke, supposedly created in an analogy with the Polish Beer-Lovers Party.

For example, its goal was "protection of interests of beer lovers regardless of racial, national, or religious affiliation".

The party now stood for "efficient means for preservation of main natural resources, such as land, air, and especially water, which is the basis of a good beer".

Among its official slogans were "Replete and Safe Life" ("Сытая и безопасная жизнь") and "Clever and Calm Politicians Grasping not only Beer".

[4] After the failure, the sponsors dropped their support and the party de facto ceased to exist and was not re-registered in 1998.
