The All-Russian Society of the Deaf is an all-Russian public organization of people with disabilities with complete or significant hearing loss. It was established on September 25, 1926.
The main objective of the Society is to express and protect the rights and legitimate interests of citizens of the Russian Federation with hearing impairments, their social rehabilitation and integration into society, and ensuring equal opportunities with other citizens.
Since 1955, it has been a member of the World Federation of the Deaf (WFD). Since 2007, the All-Russian Society of the Deaf has held a consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
