Before the schism, the national republican world was largely under the de facto leadership of [[Russia]], through the [[International Republican Coalition|International Republican Coalition (IRC)]]. While a handful of nations maintained a large level of diplomatic and political autonomy, such as [[China]] with its [[State Yangism]] variant of national republicanism, most nations were heavily influenced by Russia's interpretation of the ideology. This interpretation emphasized strict authoritarian governance, protectionist economic policies, and a focus on self-sufficiency.
==== The Russian Lustrum (1973-1978) ====
{{Main|Russian Lustrum}}Political dynamics shifted in Russia during the 1970s. During this period of political change, known as the [[Russian Lustrum]], hardline figures like Chairman Ilya Kiselev and other staunch national republicans were ousted by more liberal factions within the party. These reformists sought to depart from the strict authoritarianism and isolationism of the past, advocating instead for a more democratic form of national republicanism.
In 1978, Sergey Gromov ascended to the chairmanship in 1978, through the first democratic elections in Russia,. Under his leadership, Russia embarked on a path of reform, embracing a more liberal interpretation of National Republicanism aligned with democratic values. This change in policy evoked both criticism and support within the national republican bloc, leading to significant divisions and ultimately contributing to the deterioration of the once-cohesive bloc.
