The National Democratic Alliance (NDA; Russian: Национал-демократический альянс; НДА, romanized: Natsional-demokraticheskiy alyans; NDA) was a social and political movement in the Russian Federation. It supported the creation of several Russian republics, the re-establishment of the Federation, and the establishment of a single federal agreement between the subjects of the Russian Federation. The NDA was co-chaired by Alexey Shiropaev, Ilya Lazarenko, and Mikhail Pozharsky.
The NDA was built as an association of regional movements that are united by a common ideology of achieving national democracy, as well as the goals and objectives laid out in the NDA Manifesto.[1]
NDA was an opposition movement.[2]
Although the movement was not formally disbanded, it effectively ceased any activity in the late 2010s due to the organizers going their separate ways: In 2021, Alexey Shiropaev returned to Imperialist monarchist views[3], and in 2022, he supported the Russian invasion of Ukraine[4]; Ilya Lazarenko emigrated to Cyprus and supports Ukraine[5]; Mikhail Pozharsky became a bleeding-heart libertarian, rejecting his previous nationalist views, and also supports Ukraine.[6]
