The Party of the Orthodox or the Bloc of Orthodox Voters and Russian United Organizations (Latvian: Pareizticīgo vēlētāju un krievu apvienoto organizāciju bloks) was a political party in Latvia during the inter-war period. Primarily representing Russian Orthodox peasants in Latgale, it was led by Archbishop Jānis Pommers.[1]

## History

[edit]

The party won two seats in the 1925 parliamentary elections, retaining both in the 1928 parliamentary elections. It was reduced to a single seat in the 1931 parliamentary elections. As all parties, it was dissolved after the 1934 coup.

## Ideology

[edit]

The party's ideology was focused on the 1920 land reforms and attempts to revise them in favour of their supporters.[1]
