The Nordic Resistance Movement (Swedish: Nordiska Motståndsrörelsen; NMR, Norwegian: Nordiske motstandsbevegelsen; NMB, Finnish: Pohjoismainen vastarintaliike; PVL, Danish: Nordiske modstandsbevægelse; NMB) is a Nordic Neo-Nazi movement that exists in Sweden, Finland, and Norway. It had a branch in Denmark before it was disbanded for inactivity in 2016.
In the mid-1990s, a number of former members of the former White Aryan Resistance (Swedish: Vitt Ariskt Motstånd, also known as VAM,), having been released from prison, formed the Svenska motståndsrörelsen (SMR) or the Swedish Resistance Movement.
In 2016, a Nordic Resistance Movement was formed with separate departments in Swede, Finland, and Norway. A Danish affiliate was disbanded. The Nordic Resistance Movement advocates an immediate stop to what they call mass immigration to the Scandinavian countries, and repatriation of people that are not of North European descent. It also advocates Nordic self-sufficiency and withdrawal from the European Union.
The Swedish branch of Nordic Resistance Movement was known earlier as Svenska motståndsrörelsen (or Swedish Resistance Movement) (SMR) and was founded by Klas Lund. Its present leader is Simon Lindberg, whereas the political wing in Sweden is managed by Pär Öberg. It is known for its opposition to non-white immigration to Sweden. Svenska motståndsrörelsen is considered a central actor in Sweden's white power movement.
In the mid-1990s, former members of White Aryan Resistance (VAM) were released from prison and formed the core of Svenska motståndsrörelsen. The organisation was founded in December 1997 by individuals working with Folktribunen, the neo-National Socialist magazine, and members of National Youth and VAM, the now discontinued far-right organisation.
