      The creation of the movement "For truth" was announced on 29 October 2019 at a press conference by Zakhar Prilepin, Alexander Kazakov, Vadim Samoilov, Eduard Boyakov and Vladislav Bevza.
      The party has called for Russia's annexation of eastern Ukrainian territories as well as the breakaway Georgian regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

In the Ryazan region, the party received 7% of the vote, winning 2 seats in the regional parliament, and gaining free access to federal parliamentary elections. In other regions, the party received less than 5% of the votes without passing the electoral barrier.
