The All-Russian Union of Cities ({{langx|ru|Всероссийский союз городов|Vserossiysky soyuz gorodov}}) was a political organisation set up in Imperial Russia in August 1914 to help achieve Russian war aims. It was a liberal organisation which after 1915 operated in conjunction with the All-Russian Zemstvo Union.{{cite web|title=Unions of zemstvos and cities|url=http://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages\U\N\Unionsofzemstvosandcities.htm|website=Encyclopedia of Ukraine|publisher=Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies.|accessdate=8 February 2016}} The Kadet politician, Nikolai Kishkin, was the deputy chief representative.{{cite web |title=Nikolai Kishkin |url=https://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Nikolai+Kishkin |website=TheFreeDictionary.com |publisher=The Great Soviet Encyclopedia, 3rd Edition |accessdate=23 May 2019}}
