Voronese Socialist Party

The Voronese Socialists (VS) are a political party in Vorona. The party describes itself as social-democratic, and is typically described as leftist. For a brief period, the Voronese Socialists were a member of the Socialist International, the primary international organisation of socialist and social democratic-parties, but they chose to redraw their membership soon after.

Since the party's founding in 3584, Vitaly Vasin has served as its chairman.

Early years
The Voronese Socialists were organised as a political party in 3584. The party was founded by members of the Voronese Confederation of Trade Unions, to serve as its political branch. Vitaly Vasin was elected as the party's first chairman the same year, on the first federal Voronese Socialist party congress.

Ideology
The ideology of the Voronese Socialists is typically descibed as progressive, populist and social-democratic. The party's first chairman, Vitaly Vasin, garnered many supporters in the initial years of the VS, by using an emotional, anti-establishment rhetoric. Core values of the party also include equality and social justice, workers' and women's rights, and non-violence. Despite in practice running a platform of internationalism, the Voronese Socialists are known for their patriotic profile.
