The Trade Union of Russian Citizens does not defend the interests of employees. It is rather a political party that defends the interests of the country, and not only within Russia, but also in the political arena.
The trade union of Russian citizens was established in 2011. This is a voluntary all-Russian public association. The leader and founder of the organization is Nikolai Starikov. He is a writer, publicist, commercial director of the St. Petersburg branch of Channel One. It is noteworthy that in 2013, on the basis of the Trade Union of Russian Citizens, a political party was created called the Great Fatherland Party.
What does the Trade Union of Russian Citizens do?
This organization holds actions, rallies, pickets. And he stands for such programs:
• Nationalization of the financial system of Russia and decoupling of the ruble from the dollar. The organization proposes to withdraw from all international financial institutions.
• Nationalization of subsoil and natural resources of Russia.
• State monopoly on trade in natural resources. Moreover, all the money from the sale of the country's natural resources should go to the needs of the Russians.
• The organization wants to lift the moratorium on the death penalty.
• Proposes to reintroduce free education.
• Proposes to ban on the territory of the country the propaganda of values that contradict the traditions of the peoples of the Russian Federation. Particular attention is paid to the prohibition of the promotion of homosexuality.
Among the actions that were carried out by the PGR are such events as the "March of Success". It takes place every year on November 1 in Moscow, Novosibirsk, Ivanov, Yaroslavl, St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad and Krasnodar. Also, the Trade Union of Russian Citizens held pickets in many cities of Russia against the country's accession to the World Trade Organization.
For several years in a row, members of the organization took part in pickets in support of Viktor Bout. Usually this event was held in St. Petersburg near the US Embassy. Organized the PGR and actions against Mikhail Gorbachev, the first and last president of the USSR. There were other actions, for example, “In the fields of Afgan between mines, Barack Obama sows heroin”. Organized rallies "For a United Power!" or "Eurasian Union - together again!"
What does the "Trade Union of Russian Citizens" stand for today?
Thus, it becomes obvious that this organization is not quite the trade union to which workers, employees, specialists, employees and their employers are accustomed. This organization does not defend the interests of hired workers in Russia, but rather acts as a radical party in the country.
But today, many of the organization's actions are not covered by the media, since they are either few in number or of no interest. At the same time, the organization has several thousand members in many cities of Russia. There is no information about what actions were carried out in 2014 by the PGR, even on the website of this organization, and last year one of the last was an action in support of Ukraine.
