Pyotr Alexeyev Resistance Movement

The Pyotr Alexeyev Resistance Movement (DSPA; Russian: Движение сопротивления имени Петра Алексеева; ДСПА, romanized: Dvizheniye soprotivleniya imeni Petra Alekseyeva) was a left-wing political organization in Russia.

DSPA members believed the expansion of capitalism leads to greater exploitation of poor people, the growth of social inequality, lost freedom and ecological disasters.

The DSPA proposed an alternative society based on a socialist planned economy and rational use of resources with the mandatory cultivation of civil and working self-management.

During this period all members discussed the movement’s theory, ideology and practice, and established relations with other left-wing groups and organisations.

Along with street campaigns, DSPA took part in labor movements and in civil initiatives directed against illegal construction.
