The Political Party "Socialists" (Ukrainian: Політична партія «Соціалісти», romanizedПолітична партія «Соціалісти») was a pro-Russian left-wing political party in Ukraine. Founded in August 2014 as Political Party of Workers, Peasants, and Intelligentsia of Ukraine[3] (Ukrainian: Політична партія «Робітників, селян, інтелігенції України»), the party adopted its current name in February 2015.[4] The party's last leader, Yevhen Anoprienko, was elected in November 2019.

The activity of the party was terminated on 19 March 2022 by the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine under martial law.[5] On 23 September 2022 after its final appeal at the Supreme Court of Ukraine was dismissed, the party was banned in Ukraine.[6]
