The Slavic Union Party (PSS) (Slavic: Партия славянского союза, Partiya slavyanskogo soyuza) is the sole governing party of the Slavic Union. The PSS was founded in June 1933 after Nikifor Osipov was appointed prime minister of the Slavic State in order to get more Osipovists elected to the Duma. The party grew quickly due to Osipovs immense popularity.
In 1938 Osipov established the Slavic Union, making the PSS the only party legally allowed in the Union.
The PSS is dedicated to pursuing the goals and ideology of Osipovism, based on the writings, policy, and general philosophy of Nikifor Osipov.
Ideology
See Also: Osipovism Osipovism is the official ideology of the Slavic Union, based on the writings and policies of Vozhd Nikifor Osipov. Slavic nationalism, militarism, pan-Slavicism and authoritarianism are key components of the ideology. Osipov advocated a war based economy focused on constant growth and expansion of the military but today this is a position held only by hardline Osipovists and economic system tends to vary based on the interpretation.
Osipov believed that to keep order in a nation, especially in a nation like the Slavic Union, force and power was a necessary tool, and that the governments only priority was to protect it's people from outside threats and that democratic systems simply got in the way of that priority. Osipov also wrote in his books that the most important thing a citizen could give their nation is complete and total devotion to the state.
Economically Osipov believed the military should be constantly expanding in order to protect the people of the nation, he also advocated for complete self-sufficiency, in both the citizens and the state itself in the form of autarky.
Foreign policy wise Osipov advocated for complete isolation in the form of armed neutrality. Desiring a united Slavic nation but also being very untrusting and suspicious of foreign powers, he also rejected the subjugation of other races as a goal, believing that the only thing that mattered was whether or not one was completely loyal to the state and that racial divisions simply fought against the unity which must be present in the state.
Osipovism is also sometimes referred to as unitism when discussing interpretations to Osipovs and foreign parties with the ideology.
