Youth wings Subnational Multi-national The Pirate Party of Russia (PPR; Russian: Пиратская партия России; ППР; Piratskaya partiya Rossii, PPR) is a political party in Russia based on the model of the Swedish Pirate Party.

Two years later, in the summer of 2009, it was succeeded by the modern Pirate Party of Russia, founded in light of the success of other international pirate parties.

In January 2010, the first elections of the party's leadership took place.
