Union of Slavic Forces of Russia
The Union of Slavic Forces of Russia (USSR; Russian: Союз славянских сил Руси; СССР; Soyuz slavyanskikh sil Rusi, SSSR), also known by various other names, are a network of conspiracy theory-oriented political groups across Russia and the post-Soviet states whose supporters believe that the dissolution of the Soviet Union was illegal and invalid and that the USSR (or Russian Empire) continues to exist as a legal entity in international law; as a result, they believe the present Russian Federation illegitimate. Adherents promote various conspiracy theories. Many are adherents of Slavic Native Faith and express antisemitism. Some also believe in theories traceable to QAnon or the German Reichsbürger movement.
