Russian-speaking Ukrainian Nationalists (RUN) ( Ukrainian: Російськомовні українські націоналісти (РУН)) is a Ukrainian organization founded in the summer of 2013. [1][ unreliable source?] RUN is a platform for Russians in Ukraine who are Ukrainian patriots and supporters of Ukrainian independence. [2] It has a territorial nationalistic worldview. [1] [3] Run is led by Serhiy Zamilyuhin. [4]

History

The organization is the offspring of a social movement that appeared in the form of groups in social networks and became an NGO in the summer of 2013. [5] [3]

RUN stated in November 2014 that it aimed to take part in the October 2015 Ukrainian local elections. [1] But in October 2015 no such party named Russian-speaking Ukrainian Nationalists was registered at the Ukrainian Ministry of Justice. [6] In the October 2015 Kyiv local election the organization took part as a "non-party" on the election list of the Patriotic Party of Ukraine. [7][ unreliable source?]

Ideology and stances

One of the organization's goals is to change the Ukrainian educational system so that children will learn "Russian-Ukrainian" instead of the Russian language since the organization believes the latter one was "historically imposed". [5] The NGO has handed out pamphlets "to debunk the Soviet myths" about the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (in the summer of 2013). [3]
