The Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) was the founding and ruling political party of the Soviet Union.

The party was founded in 1912 by the Bolsheviks, a majority faction detached from the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party, led by Vladimir Lenin, who took power in the October Revolution of 1917. After 74 years, it was dissolved on 29 August 1991 on Soviet territory, soon after a failed coup d'état by hard-line CPSU leaders against Soviet president and party general secretary Mikhail Gorbachev and was completely outlawed three months later on 6 November 1991 in Russian territory. The remnants of the party reformed after the transition into the Russian Federation into the Communist Part of the Russian Federation (CPRF) led by Gennady Zyuganov.
