The term red–brown (movement/activists/political forces) (, "krasno-korichnevye") was originated in post-Soviet Russia to describe an alliance of far-left (communist) and far-right (nationalist, fascist, monarchist, religious) opposition to the liberal and pro-capitalist Russian government in the 1990s, opposing economic and social reforms (rapid transition to a market economy through "shock therapy", followed by a sharp increase in poverty and drop in living standards, removal of many restrictions on people's behaviour). Such an alliance was first suggested by Aleksandr Dugin, founder of the National Bolshevik Party and the writer of the new Communist Party program . As the leader of the opposition, Gennady Zyuganov oversaw the partnership of the Communist Party with Russian National Unity, a prominent neo-nazi party. After Zyuganov publicly proclaimed this new "red–brown alliance", there was a noted rise in antisemitism within the Communist Party, particularly driven by the party official Albert Makashov, who openly called for the expulsion of Jewish people from Russia.
