The Social Movement (Ukrainian: Соціальний рух, romanizedSotsialnyi rukh;[a] abbreviated SR) is a Ukrainian left-wing community organization founded in 2015, which stands on the principles of democratic socialism, opposing capitalism and xenophobia. It operates in the largest cities of Ukraine (Kyiv, Kryvyi Rih, Lviv, Odesa, Dnipro, Kharkiv).[1] The group is aspiring to become a grassroots political party and came to some prominence during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine when it called upon the international left to support the Ukrainian resistance to Russian imperialism and campaigned against wartime curtailing of certain labour rights by the Ukrainian government.[2]
