Abstract
The Nordic Resistance Movement (NRM) is a far-right neo-Nazi organisation, active in Scandinavia. This article examines whether the Nordic Resistance Movement can be classified as a terrorist organisation. The study aims to analyse the movement’s activities within the framework of selected definitions of terrorism and relevant typologies. The research is based on an analysis of scientific articles, media coverages, and statements made by the organisation itself. The findings indicate that the movement’s actions exhibit clear characteristics of terrorism, leading us to classify it as such in our conclusion.
Key words: political terrorism, right-wing extremism, neo-Nazism, Nordic Resistance Movement, Northern Europe.
