The Nordic Resistance Movement is a Neo-Nazi movement in the Nordic countries and a political party in Sweden. On 14 June 2024, the United States Department of State designated NRM and its leaders as Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGT) and was banned in Finland in 2019.[1]
Ideology
The aim of Nordic Resistance Movement is to establish a Pan-Nordic neo-Nazi republic "consisting of the Nordic countries Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and possibly even the Baltic countries".[2]
The organization says its struggle will require bloodshed, implying they are a militant organization. The NRM has praised Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler and Fascist politician Corneliu Codreanu in their publications.[3] Their main tactics are distributing leaflets and making public speeches in inner-city areas in support of neo-Nazism, denouncing immigration. They also publish the Nationellt Motstånd magazine.[4] NRM-affiliated far-right activist Tobias Bratt created the 2017 neo-Nazi propaganda film Europa: The Last Battle.[5]
