History
The first chairman of the party was Oleksander Mykolayovych Yakovenko. In the 2002 Ukrainian parliamentary election, the party won 0.41% of the popular vote and no seats.[2] Since then it has not taken part in any nationwide election.[2] In 2011, the KPRS chairman Leonid Grach was elected as the head of the party in February 2011; at the time he was member of the Ukrainian parliament.[3][4] Grach did not return to parliament after the 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election after losing as an independent candidate in single-member districts number 1 (first-past-the-post wins a parliament seat) located in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.[5][6] His party did not participate in the election.[7] The party was again absent in the 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election.[7][8]
In May 2015, decommunization in Ukraine came into effect in Ukraine, banning communist symbols, singing the Soviet national anthem or "The Internationale".[9] Because of these laws, the Ukrainian Interior Ministry stripped the party of its right to participate in elections on 24 July 2015.[10] The party did not challenge this ban and was thus on 30 September 2015 terminated by the District Administrative Court in Kyiv.[1]
