Russian National Socialist Party

The Russian National Socialist Party (Russian: Русская Национальная Социалистическая Партия, romanized: Russkaya Natsional'naya Sotsialisticheskaya Partiya) was a neo-Nazi and clerical fascist group based in Russia.

The party grew out of the followers of Konstantin Kasimovsky, a leading member of Pamyat in the immediate aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union.
