The public movement Free Donbass is a political bloc in the Donetsk Oblast figthing for the seperation of the region from Ukraine. The bloc includes several parties and movemnts. The organization was formed in 2014, in the first six months after the proclamation of independence of the Donetsk People's Republic from Ukraine. Satisfying the requirements of the CEC, this party became one of two (along with the party "Donetsk Republic") admitted to participation in the general elections in the Donetsk People's Republic on November 2, 2014. After registration, the party joined in campaigning in the streets with voters, and also on the Internet. The party is a supporter for the independace of the historical and cultural region of Novorossiya from Ukraine.
Chairman of the organization, Yevgeny Orlov, said that the party "goes with the same slogans and with the same program that supported the absolute majority of the population of the region during the referendum on May 11".
