What does FITUR stand for? 

FITUR

The Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Russia (Russian: Федерация Независимых Профсоюзов России, ФНПР, romanized: Federatsiya Nezavisimykh Profsoyuzov Rossii, FNPR) is the largest post-Soviet national trade union center in Russia, with a membership estimated between 28 and 31.5 million (down from 70 million at its formation). The FNPR is widely recognized as the de facto successor to the Soviet era trade unions system, although the General Confederation of Trade Unions (GFTC), as the umbrella organization of trade unions in the former Soviet Republics, is technically the equivalent of the former. The FNPR is closely affiliated with ruling Russian party called United Russia and is notable for fraudulent activity with real estate property it had inherited after dissolution of the USSR.
