The neo-Nazi National Corporativism (NKORP) was founded in 2004. Its policies were mixture of nationalism, neo-Fascism and neo-Nazism doctrune. The membership base overlapped with other extreme right-wing groups, so it formed a kind of bridge between a legal political party the "Workers’ Party" and the openly neo-Nazi "National Resistance." National Corporativism was gradually consumed by internal conflicts and in 2008 was shut down, and its leaders encouraged supporters to join the Workers’ Party.

The National Resistance Prague (NO) was a short lived National Socialist group formed under the leadership of Filip Vavra and Jan Brcak in late 1998 who tried to organize public demonstrations against such things as broadcasting Radio Free Europe to Iran and Iraq, and free speech issues. In August of 1999, they organized a demonstration to pay tribute to the memory of Rudolf Hess, who they called the "last victim of World War II."

The Nacio'n and Revolucio'n (NR) is one of many small ultra-rightist political parties now existing in Spain. Nation and Revolution first appeared in the general elections in 2008 using a flag diagonally divided in black and red, with a white trident outlined (fimbriated) in black and white in the center.

The National Socialism Ecuatoriano (NSE) is a neo-Nazi, racist, right-wing conservative group in Ecuador with possible ties to the Legión Blanca (White Legion), a shadowy right-wing organization in Ecuador that is responsible for numerous death threats since 2001 to politicians, human rights workers and left-wing activists in the country. In addition, the group claimed responsibility for a March 2003 arson attack on the Ecuadorian Congress building which caused a large amount of damage, but no casualties. No arrests were ever made in the arson. Further, the White Legion has not claimed responsibility for any attacks since the March 2003 arson, and reports of death threats from the group have all but ended since October of that year.

The ultra-right National Socialist Initiative (NSI) was formed in St. Petersburg in 2009 by Dmitri Bobrov, nicknamed Shul'ts, but since then has spread to other locations such as the city of Cherepovets. Bobrov was originally the leader of an informal group of Nazi skinheads called Shul'ts-88, which were active in St Petersburg and the Leningrad Region (2001-2007) before the police suppressed them. Bobrov himself was arrested in December of 2005 and sentenced to six years in jail on a conviction of violence as the leader of the Schulz 88, but was released in 2009. After that, he founded the National Socialist Initiative.

Nation is a French-speaking ultra-rightist movement, founded in 1999 in Wallonia and Brussels. They claim to be "the only French-speaking nationalist organization struggling in a credible way against the multiculturalist society." In 2000, they formed a youth branch called Jeune Nation (Young Nation).

Nation has participated in demonstrations in Belgium and in other European countries in recent years, together with other like-minded European "nationalist" groups. Their flag has been identified as the flag of "national-anarchism" and it's use has spread. However, their actual political success has been limited.

National Bolshevik Front has been used as a name by three separate far-right groups in Russia. The name initially applied to the Russian National Bolshevik Party of Eduard Limonov when it was founded in 1993. Although the name was soon abandoned by the Russian group when it became active in politics, the term National Bolshevik Front is still used to refer to a loose federation of National Bolshevik organizations that spreads across much of Europe and South America. Of these, the most important is still in Russia.

The Natsional’naya Bol’shevistkaya Partiya (NBP) was been led by Eduard Limonov since its founding in 1992 as "National Bolshevik Front" when it was formed by the amalgamation of six minor groups. The "National Bolshevik Party (also known as Nazbol) is dedicated to the ideology of National Bolshevism. Their platform calls for a revolution and extermination of all non-Russians in Russia. Since 2005, the party was barred from election registration and was completely outlawed in 2007.

NBP Flag Type #4 (shown here in 1:2 size ratio)		NBP Flag Type #5 (shown here in 1:2 size ratio)

In 2010, Eduard Limonov founded another party, named "Other Russia," which replaced all of the National Bolshevik flags with a black-yellow-white horizontal tricolor, charged with the party name inscribed in black on the yellow field. It seems that not all the members of National Bolshevik Party have followed their leader into his new party and that some of them have formed a number of new organizations, which might have kept some or all of the old flags in use.

NBP Flag Type #6 (shown here in 2:3 size ratio)		NBP Flag Type #7 (shown here in 2:3 size ratio)

Their flag is based on the nazi scheme (red or black, with a centered white disk with a black symbol, but instead of the swastika there they use the sickle-and-hammer device. The flag is an interesting merging of two well-known and opposite symbols, which reflects the strange merging of the Bolshevik and Nazi doctrines. The flag (type #5) appeared after the red flag with black hammer and sickle was banned, the word "CENZURA" basically means "censored," and was later replaced with the black flags with hammer and sickle (Type #2 and Type #5). Versions of the flag with the hand grenade (type #7) were very popular in the Latvia branch.

The neo-Bolsheviks in Latvia are a very active, but small movement centered mostly around Latgalia. Latgalia is a province in the south-eastern part of Latvia. Historically, Latgalia has a political and cultural history very different from that of the rest of the Latvia, which were long under German-Swedish rule. Latgalia remained under Polish-Lithuanian rule until 1772, when it was ceded to the Russian Empire. Today, this part of Latvia is almost entirely inhabited by ethnic Russians.

In Belarus, activities of the National Bolshevik Party are fairly minor, mainly vandalism, such as NBP emblems drawn on church walls and foreign embassies. Since they support stronger ties between Russia and Belarus, but also oppose current governments in both countries, they have become opponents to both the government and to most of Byelorussian opposition who mostly favor distancing themselves from Russia. The National Bolshevik Party is not even officially registered in the country.

The National Sovereignty Party of Russia (NDPR), or National-State Party of Russia is a extremist Russian nationalist party established in 2002 under the leadership of Alexander Sevastyanov and Stanislav Terekhov. It is affiliated with the Russian National Movement, and the Movement Against Illegal Immigration (DPNI), Russian National Union (RONS) and other extremist nationalist organizations. The party leadership openly states "Our goal is power. We don't hide the fact that a party of nationalists will come to power. We should throw both democracy and Jews out of Russia." The NSPR is, perhaps, not neoNazi, but ultra-rightist extremist, for sure.

The neo-Nazi Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands (NPD) was formed in the early 1960s when several right-wing parties merged and was rather successful in the elections during the 1960s, but lost most of its support in the early 1970s.

The NPD was founded in 1964 and has about 6,000 members making it the third largest right-extremist party in Germany. In 1969, it formed an youth organization called the Junge Nationaldemokraten (JN), or "Young National Democrats."

Imperial War Ensign		Imperial Naval Ensign

The German Imperial Flags are prominently displayed by the NPD. These Imperial flags are displayed at party conventions and during demonstrations. NPD demonstrators wave different versions of these black-white-red flags. There are other modern variants of black-white-red that are produced by flag makers for right extremists and used by them. Because of this, not only are flags from the Third Reich banned, but many from the Second Reich era are now becoming banned, most notably the Imperial Naval Ensign and the Imperial War Ensign shown above.

These are flags used by a Russian neo-Nazi organization called the National Front. The National Front is led by Ilya Lazarenko. First formed in 1991 as the "Union of Russian Youth," then renamed the "Front of National-Revolutionary Action" in 1992, and finally named the "National Front Party" which it has remained since 1994. Its doctrine is racist and fascist envisioning a "Great National-Socialist Russian Empire" under a "national dictatorship," which explains their use of flags reminiscent of both Nazi Germany and Imperial Russia. When Lazarenko disbanded the FNRA in 1992, and founded the NFP, some of the members did not follow, but continued under the old name and it is assumed under old flag as well. The split was because some members insisted on following Orthodox Christianity in religious matters, while Lazarenko became follower of Russian neo-paganism and even formed a neo-pagan "church" together with the party. It is unclear what activities these that remained behind became involved with, or how long they lasted.

The National Front Skinheads wear traditional black fascist uniforms and display their black Celtic crosses on their banners which they claim are based on the crosses of Novgorod and Jerusalem instead of the traditional swastika which is illegal in Russia. According to Lazarenko, his movement has contacts with the Russian National Unity (RNE) of Alexander Barkashov, but the relations are generally cool because they view the policy of the RNE as "absolutely erroneous."

Front of National Revolutionary Action Flag Type #3		Front of National Revolutionary Action Flag Type #4

At demonstrations the National Front Party has been seen displaying flags using the traditional neo-Nazi red and white, but also flags using the Romanov Imperial colors (such as the Front of National-Revolutionary Action Flags - Type #1, Type #2, Type #3, and Type #4), and even re-purposing and using the last Russian Imperial State Flag of 1914.

It should be noted that the Front of National-Revolutionary Action Flag Type #4 has been reported as being used as a variant of the Front of National-Revolutionary Action Flag Type #3, but not well documented in photographs.

In 1989, various far-right neo-Nazis from Hamburg, led by Christian Worch and Thomas Wulf, founded the Nationale Liste (NL). The National List used this black flag with white inscription "NL" at their rallies and meetings. During the 5 1/2 years of its existance the National List published a magazine that contained a list of names and addresses of left-wing and anti-fascist activists and organizations which led to attacks on some of the people listed.

The Narodowe Odrodzenie Polski (NOP) is a minor far-right, extremist nationalist political party in Poland. It is a member of European National Front. The NOP registered as a political party in 1992. It claims to be the reincarnation of National Radical Camp, the pre-war nationalist youth organization, which was banned in 1934.

National Rebirth of Poland Variant

In 2001, NOP membership in Poland was estimated at 500, consisting mainly of neo-Nazi skinheads. In 2006, it received only 0.6% of the popular vote in regional elections.

The National Patriotic Front, a splinter group from the Pamyat (Memory) Union, is a Russian ultra-nationalist organization sometimes identifying itself as the "People's National-Patriotic Orthodox Christian Movement." It has been accused of racism, xenophobia, and antisemitism.

The groups most well-known leader, Dmitry Vassilyev (who died in 2003), made the Pamyat Union the most prominent organized group of Russian nationalists in the 1980s. After several splits and name changes, and the imminent dissolution of the USSR, the organization launched its own newspaper "The Pamyat" in 1991, with print runs of 100,000 copies, and started their own radio station.

This flag is a symbol for the Nationaler Widerstand. It's not used by a particular party or organization, just for the whole action called "National Resistance." Recently, it has been used by organized Neo-Nazi groups in Germany, and it symbolizes national resistance.

A disturbing development that has emerged in some animal and environmental activist circles is the use of Holocaust imagery to promote their causes. This strange flag is being sold as an Nazi Animal Rights League flag.

This flag was first used in a demonstration in 1976 on the Fourth of July outside the White house by The National Socialist White Peoples Party. The party claimed the flag celebrated America's Bicentennial and had nothing to do with any bicentennial of the National Socialist Movement which, of course, began in 1919.

The National Socialist Christian Party, founded in Quebec, used a blue flag charged with a red swastika in a white disk between 1933 and 1938. Adrien Arcand (1899-1967), the would be "fuehrer" of Canada, led various National Socialist movements during his lifetime, and he and his followers used a variety of similar flag designs over the years. The party identified with anti-semitism, Adolf Hitler, and Nazism. Arcand's party eventual joined with other Canadian groups to form the Canadian National Socialist Unity Party or National Unity Party. At the height of its power, the party could only boast a few thousand members, mainly concentrated in Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta.

The Nationaal-Socialistische Nederlandsche Arbeiderspartij (NSNAP) was a minor Dutch national socialist party founded in 1931 and led by Ernst Herman van Rappard. Seeking to copy the fascism of others, notably Adolf Hitler, the group failed to achieve success and was accused by rivals of being too moderate for a fascist movement. It was absorbed by the more aggressive NSB in 1941.

The Movimiento Nacional Socialista Despierta Perú (MNSDP) is a radical neo-Nazi group in Peru whose activities center around Cieneguilla according to the Peruvian police. Their motto of "Peru Awake" is obviously paraphrasing "Deutschland erwache!" (Germany awake!).

Under the leadership of Mindaugas Murza, the National Socialist Party, which would under go various name changes in its existance (United National Workers Party, Lithuanian Alliance of Nationalist-Socialist Unity, etc.), attacked Lithuania's minorities of Jews, Poles and Russians, and demanded that these minorities be made to leave Lithuania. The Lithuanian neo-Nazi movement, who represents a very small minority, occasionally still use this flag at their demonstrations.

The Nationaal-Socialistische Beweging (NSB) was the most important Nazi party in the Netherlands between 1931 and 1945. In 1941 it absorbed the other Dutch nazi parties (like the NSNAP) and became the only one. The NSB wanted to unite the Netherlands and Flanders into a single German controlled country called "Dietsland."

The Nationalsocialistisk Front (NSF) was a Swedish neo-nazi political party. The organization was founded in 1994 in Karlskrona.

A new party was founded to replace it, the People's Front (Folkfronten) with the same people in charge.

The Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP), commonly known in English as the Nazi Party, was a political party in Germany between 1919 and 1945. It was known as the Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (German Workers' Party - DAP) before the name was changed in 1920.

The party believes in a return to the Shogun system as an indigenous take on National Socialist principles of leadership. It is virulently anti-Semitic, and believes in an international Jewish conspiracy employing Freemasonry to control Japan. Today, it is known as the National Socialist Movement, and it is not a significant force in Japanese politics.

The New Axis Flag uses a pinwheel type of swastika which is a variation on that used by many racists organizations and individuals. The National Socialist Japanese Workers and Welfare Party also has been known to use a variant of the old Tohokai Party Flag.

The Tohokai Party Flag		Modern Variant Flag

A series of flags were posted on websites to apparently bring into disrepute legiment Basque nationalists movements by attempting to connect them to the Nazi National Socialist movement. The Basque National Socialist Party of the Basque Country doesn't exist. The Lauburu symbol is, however, among the traditional symbols used by the Basque people. The non-existant Movimiento Nacionalsocialista de Euskalherria (National Socialist Movement of the Basque Country) claimed this flag, that uses the Lauburu in lieu of the Nazi swastika, as their flag. They called it the "lauburu o esvástica vasca" (Lauburu or Basque swastika), and say it represents their National Socialist movement in Spain.

Other fictitious flags claiming to be the flags of the National-Socialist Movement of the Basque Country have also been placed on the internet. As far as can be determined none of these flags or a National Socialist Party actually exists in the Basque Country.

		Other fictitious flags

The "arrano beltza" (black eagle) is also usually shown on Basque independentist flags, but has nothing to do with the National Socialist Movement.

Based on the belief that during the American Revolution, the active forces in the field against the King's tyranny never amounted to more than 3% of the colonists, militia groups calling themselves by such names as the "Three Percenters," (Threepers), the "Sipsey Street Irregulars," and the "Oath Keepers" (led by Nevada lawyer Stewart Rhodes, a former staffer of Congressman Ron Paul), have sprung up expressing anti-government (current administration) and anti-gun control sentiments, during President Obama's first year in office. They claim to be the ones who "the Founders counted on to save the Republic when everyone else abandoned it."

Basically, they are extremist groups of American gun owners who are preparing to "defend" themselves and "their right to bare arms" against "enemies, foreign and domestic," and warn those they call "collectivists" (those who favor gun control), and who they feel control the government, to leave them and their guns alone.

The Tohokai (Far East Society) was founded in 1936 by Seigo Nakano who advocated a fascist Japan. Their flag design was based on the Japanese letter meaning "east" and on the swastika. The ultranationalist Tohokai party supported the Imperial Japanese Navy and pressured the government to halt what they considered the Imperial Army's overly-ambitious aim of conquering all of Asia. This brought them in conflict with the pro-Imperialist faction led by General Hideki Tojo, who supported the interests of the Japanese Army and the continued conquest of the rest of Asia.

The Third Force (Tercera Fuerza), calling themselves a "cultural association," spread the usual distorted neo-Nazi version of the National Socialist world viewpoint. This small group, centered in the City of Pereira, operates a website openly under the protection of Article 20 of the Constitution of the Republic of Colombia, which guarantees full freedom of expression. They trace their origins back to 1956 and the original Third Force movement, whose main goal was to preserve their "pure" Hispanic Heritage.

Claiming that their flags and banners represent the "expression, tradition, and respect for the ideals and legacy of their heritage," they seem to spend a great deal of their time designing flags, seven examples of which are shown here.

The Unified Lithuanian National Workers Movement (VLNDS) is the current neo-Nazi party in Lithuania. It is the successor of the Lithuanian National Socialist Party and uses a range of flags, some of which are derived from that of its predecessor.

VLNDS "Party" Flag		VLNDS "Heritage" Flag

The flag most frequently used is described as the "National" Flag. The party describes the cross as the combination of two swastikas, one right-facing and one left-facing. The flag they call the "Honor flag" has yet to appear at any public demonstrations and is perhaps only used during private meetings. The VLNDS "Party" Flag has been reported on several occasions, usually in conjunction with the "national" variant. The last variant is obviously based on the previous Lithuanian National Socialist Party flag and is rarely seen being used. (For purposes of identification I have labeled it the "Heritage" Flag.)

The Vinland flag is a contemporary flag first used by the musical group Type O Negative to encompass a variety of leader Peter Steele's interests and political beliefs, including his own Icelandic heritage. The flag is designed in the style of a Nordic Cross flag, with a green field and a black cross with white fimbriation, the green and black being a common color scheme for Type O Negative.

Vigrid is a Norwegian neo-Nazi organization which combines racial teachings with the imagery of Norse mythology. Vigrid was founded in 1998, and in 2009 they ran for the parliamentary elections, but received less than 200 votes. The group has been known to display versions of the flag of the World Church of the Creator, as well as a flag displaying a fimbriated sun disc centered on the national flag.

Vlajka, which means in Czech "The Flag," was the name of a Czechoslovakian fascist and nationalist movement which became politically active in the 1930s. Their leader was Jan Rys-Rozsévac, a journalist and politician. The group publication, also called "Vlajka," was founded in 1928, its first editor was Miloš Maixner.

The American neo-Nazi organization Volksfront, headquartered in Oregon, wants a white homeland in the Pacific Northwest. The group was founded in 1994 in the Oregon State Penitentiary by Randall Krager. Although, since its formation, the group claims to have chapters in Oregon, Massachusetts, Arizona, California, New York, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, Washington State, Illinois, and Missouri, they only had approximately 100 members in 2007.

The symbol behind the sword is the ancient german rune for "Wolf's Angel," or werewolf. In the past this rune was a magical means to frighten away werewolves. According to ancient superstitions men were sometimes transformed into beings, half men, half wolves, that were extremely blood-thirsty and ferocious. These beings were called werewolves. In World War II, this sign was used by the Division Waffen SS Das Reich.

This flag is, of course, a variation of the Imperial German War Ensign, undoubtedly inspired by German World War I and World War II flags, and used by the Russian neo-Nazi organization White Legion 88.

One of the fastest-growing hate groups in the 1990s was the World Church of the Creator (WCOTC), based in East Peoria, Illinois, whose stated goal is "making this an all-white nation and ultimately an all-white world."

The current group sometimes calls itself "The Creativity Movement" and is an often violent white separatist organization that advocates a whites-only religion, Creativity. They consider Jews and nonwhites, whom they refer to as "mud races," to be the "natural enemies" of the white race. The movement's use of the term creator, however, does not refer to a deity, but rather to themselves, and despite the formal use of the word Church in its name, the movement is atheistic.
