Patriots of Russia (Russian: Патриоты России ) is a Russian political party established in April 2005 by Gennady Semigin, who was expelled from Communist Party of Russia after he failed in a power struggle with Gennady Zuganov.

In 2006 Gennadiy Semigin and his new party “Patriots of Russia” joined the Rodina faction in the Duma. Following Rodina merger with the Russian Party of Life and the Russian Pensioners' Party under leadership of Sergey Mironov in October 2006 into a new party Fair Russia, “Patriots of Russia” declared its intention to run as a separate party in the Russian 2007 elections. They won 0.89% of votes, not breaking the 7% barrier, and thus no seats in duma. Party of Russia Rebirth, led by former Duma speaker Gennady Seleznev, merged with PoR.
