The Russian People's Democratic Union (RNDS; Russian: Российский народно-демократический союз; РНДС; Rossiyskiy narodno-demokraticheskiy soyuz, RNDS), initially named as People for Democracy and Justice (NDS; Russian: Народ за демократию и справедливость; НДС; Narod za demokratiyu i spravedlivost, NDS) was a liberal opposition political party in Russia, founded in 2006. The party was a member of the opposition coalition The Other Russia and was founded by former Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov after he failed to win the leadership of the Democratic Party of Russia.
