The Unity of the People (Russian: Единство народа; Georgian: ხალხის ერთიანობა, romanized: khalkhis ertianoba) is a nationalist political party in South Ossetia, a partially recognized Caucasian republic, considered by most countries to be a part of Georgia. The party is led by Vladimir Kelekhsaev.[1]
In 2015, then South Ossetian president Leonid Tibilov proposed a referendum on the annexation of South Ossetia into Russia, with Unity of the People issuing a press release calling for such a referendum to take place immediately and that annexation is the "dream of a generation."[2]
In the party's 2019 congress, members focused on agricultural issues, stating: "The most important thing today is [bringing] attention to agricultural issues; it is necessary to determine the fertility of the land, which will allow [the development of] horticulture, viticulture and raising cattle. Today, 90% of agricultural products are imported from Russia. We must be self-sufficient.”[3]
