Social Movement "For a New Socialism" (Russian: Общественное движение «За новый социализм», romanized: Obshchestvennoye dvizheniye «Za novyy sotsializm»; DZNS), also known simply as For a New Socialism, is a social movement and political organization led by Russian politician, diplomat, political scientist, and historian Nikolay Platoshkin.[1] The stated goal of the movement is to restore socialism in Russia through peaceful and legal means, namely elections.[2]
For a New Socialism supports the preservation of private property and seeks to form a mixed economy with state support for small and medium-sized businesses, based on Lenin's New Economic Policy, and an inclusive democracy with multi-party participation and a diversity of opinions.[3]
