Socialist Alternative (SA; Russian: Социалистическая альтернатива; СА; Sotsialisticheskaya alternativa, SA) is a Trotskyist political party in Russia. It is affiliated to International Socialist Alternative. The organization publishes a newspaper of the same name. From the early 1990s to 2009, a single CWI section called Socialist Resistance, existed in the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States. In 2005 a group of members left to form VPERED. In 2009 a further split occurred due to differing positions on the recent Russo-Georgian War, with about half the Russian membership supporting Russian military intervention in South Ossetia and therefore leaving the CWI in disagreement. Those who left continued to use the Socialist Resistance name in Russia, while the CWI members in the CIS reorganized into the new Russian section, simply known as Russian Section of the CWI, and Socialist Resistance of Kazakhstan. In 2015, a faction within the organization split off to form a new group called Marxistskaya Gruppa 21. The Russian section renamed itself Sotsialisticheskaya Alternativa and is a member of the old CWI majority now called ISA (International Socialist Alternative). More information...
