History

The founding conference of the Union of Communists was held in December 1992, and it was registered with Ukrainian authorities in March 1993.[4][5] At the time of organization on 12 March 1993 it claimed to have 2,000 members in 13 oblasts.[4][5] Yurii Solomati was registered as the leader of the organization.[5] The main stronghold of the party has been Luhansk.[5] Initially many party members were also affiliated to the Communist Party of Ukraine (KPU), although the KPU soon began purge dissident elements.[5][6] Whilst the influence of the Union of Communists waned, it acted as a competitor of KPU in south-eastern Ukraine at an early stage.[6]

At the 23rd congress of the Union of Communist Parties – Communist Party of the Soviet Union held in March 1993, the Union of Communists is included as an associative member.[7] Considering itself as the legitimate heir of the CPSU, the Union of Communists demanded return of CPSU property seized by the Ukrainian state.[6] The organization called for the reconstruction of the Soviet Union.[6]

The Union of Communists began publishing the theoretical journal Marksizm i sovremennost' (Марксизм и современность, 'Marxism and Modernity') from Kyiv in 1995.[8] Politically it is close to the Russian Communist Workers Party, with many people (including Yabrova) holding dual memberships.[6]

As of the early 2000s, the group was led by Tamila Yabrova.[6]

In 2013, the party took part in the founding of the Initiative of Communist and Workers' Parties.[9]

In May 2015, laws that ban communist symbols came into effect in Ukraine.[3] Despite that, the Union of Communists of Ukraine remained active.

In June 2022, the party released a statement condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine as "imperialist".[10]
