The party was founded by Vladimir Gringmut (ru), reactionary editor of the periodical Moscow News (Moskovskiye vedomosti), in February.[1]
It advocated the reestablishment of a powerful autocratic rule, martial law, and suppression of Jews, who they claimed were mainly the instigators of the revolutionary disorders.[1] It also stood for local self-government, public education, freedom of the press, and improving workers' and peasants' conditions. It had the following internal enemies: constitutional democrats, socialists, revolutionaries, anarchists, and the aforementioned Bundists.[2]
