In the 2003 Russian legislative election, the party won 1.2% of the popular vote and no seats. The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation liquidated the party on 15 May 2007, citing failure to prove the required registration numbers. Some key texts of the KOB are banned in Russia and included in the Federal List of Extremist Materials.
Since 2012, the party has been active as the Russian Public Movement "Course of Truth and Unity" (Russian: Российское общенародное движение "Курсом правды и Единения"), chaired by Sergey Kamenev.
