History
The Fatherland Socialist Party was originally founded in 1993 by Vadim Baskayev, who had been removed from the nationalist Adæmon Tsædis movement after he publicly supported the 1991 Soviet coup attempt. Located on the fringe of local politics, the party took a hardline stance in regards to the East Prigorodny conflict, arguing that it was impossible for Ossetians and Ingush to live together, and further supported increasing the powers of the government of North Ossetia–Alania. During the 1995 Russian regional elections the party won no seats in the Parliament of the Republic of North Ossetia–Alania.
The party was denied registration by the Central Election Committee during the 2004 South Ossetian parliamentary election, and subsequently dissolved. It reformed itself in South Ossetia in 2007. The party's current incarnation is closely related to A Just Russia – For Truth.
The party participated in the 2009 South Ossetian parliamentary election being notable for being the only anti-Russian party to stand for election. They would come in a distant fourth place with 6.53% of the vote and no seats in Parliament. After the election, party leadership would go on to claim that the Pro-Russian parties rigged the election in their favor to prevent any meaningful opposition entering parliament.
The party would go on to stand during the 2014 South Ossetian parliamentary election garnering 3.26% of the vote and the 2019 South Ossetian parliamentary election receiving 3.20%.
