The Left Bloc (LB; Russian: Левый блок; ЛБ; Levyj blok, LB) was a social movement that united activists of the Russian left and far-left organizations. It was formed in late November 2015 from a split in the Left Front. It is strongly critical of President Vladimir Putin.
On 12 November 2023, the Left Bloc announced that it was ceasing to operate its website and social network accounts due to increased repression.
