Party of Peaceful Renovation

The Party of Peaceful Renovation (Russian: Партия мирного обновления) was a liberal political organisation in the Russian Empire, based amongst landlords and the bourgeoisie.[1]

In September 1906, liberal members of the Union of October 17 party split off to found the Party of Peaceful Renovation due to the Octoberists support of repression.[2] The party was initially led by Pyotr Heiden, and was quickly followed by Dmitry Shipov after Heiden's death.[2] Other influential founding figures included N. N. Lvov, P. P. Ryabushinsky, Mikhail Stakhovich, prince Evgenii N. Trubetskoy and his brother Grigory Nikolaevich Trubetskoy.[1][2]

In contrast to the Octoberists, the Peaceful Renovationists took a critical opinion of the June Coup, the repeated dissolutions of the Duma, and the Stolypin government.[2] The Peaceful Renovationists also argued for cooperation with the Octoberists and the Kadets, so as to strengthen Russian constitutionalism.[3]

After the October 1907 Russian legislative election, the Peaceful Renovationists formed the Progressive Group.[4]
