History
Power to the People! was established in 1995 as an alliance of several groups, including the Russian All-People's Union, the For Social Equality movement and Popular Movement "Union". In the 1995 parliamentary elections the alliance received 1.6% of the proportional representation vote,[2] failing to cross the electoral threshold. However, it won nine constituency seats in the State Duma[3] and sided with other deputies in Narodovlastie faction.
The party did not contest any further elections;[4] the Russian All-People's Union contested the 1999 elections alone, winning two seats.
