The Union for the National Revival of Alania (Russian: Союз национального возрождения Алании, romanized: Soyuz natsionalnogo vozrozhdeniya Alanii), abbreviated as Alania (Russian: Алания, romanized: Alaniya), was a political party in the Russian republic of North Ossetia–Alania during the early 1990s.
History[edit]
The Union for the National Revival of Alania was established on 28 April 1991[1] by Aleksandr Ramonov and other officers of the Soviet Army. Subscribing to National Bolshevism, the party argued for the preservation of the Soviet Union under the Communist Party,[2] It additionally supported increasing the rights of the Digor people, and recognition of Ossetians as being direct descendants of the Alans.[3] The party's political programme called for active measures to strengthen the Ossetian language, ensure a "national-cultural revival", and conduct scientific studies on the historical origins of the Ossetians.[1]
In July 1994, Alania founded its own newspaper, known as Alanta.[4] During the 1995 Russian regional elections, it failed to win a single seat, and the party subsequently fell into inactivity during the mid-1990s.[2]
