Brotherhood of Russian Truth
- Brotherhood of Russian Truth
The Brotherhood of Russian Truth ( _ru. Братство Русской Правды) was a Russian patriotic organization established by Pyotr Krasnov and other former members of the White movement (such as Prince Anatoly Lieven), for the purpose of overthrowing Bolshevism in Soviet Russia. The term "Russian Truth" is the word used to describe the Russian code of laws established by the Russian Prince Yaroslav the Wise. The political program of the Brotherhood was anti-communism with a pro-Monarchist, Orthodox Christian sentiment.
The main method of struggle for the brotherhood was the establishment of an underground network of counter-revolutionaries within Soviet Russia. The brotherhood sent in agents to cross the Soviet border illegally, as did the Russian All-Military Union and the NTS. Unfortunately for the brotherhood, agents working for the Inner Line disrupted their activities, which caused a considerable amount of casualties.
