It depended on the Soviet Union and was supported by it. The ADP was founded as an opposition party against the Pahlavi dynasty.[citation needed] The Azerbaijani branch of the Soviet-supported Tudeh Party immediately defected to the ADP. The ADP, like the Tudeh Party, was communist and pro-Soviet, but emphasized questions of ethnic identity over class identity. The ADP ruled the Soviet-backed Azerbaijan People's Government from 1945 until 1946 with Pishevari as premier.
