Ukrainian National Labor Party

The Ukrainian National Labor Party (Ukrainian: Українська націонал-трудова партія, УНТП) was a neo-Nazi organization that operated in Ukraine from 2005 to 2009. It began in 2005 as a civic organization composed largely of skinheads and a small group of neo-Nazi ideologues. It was officially registered on 19 April 2007. The party was led by Yevhen Oleksandrovych Herasymenko, a citizen of Russia who used the pseudonym "Krot" (Mole). The UNTP was scandalously known for recruiting skinheads and football ultras into its ranks. Throughout its existence, it organized and participated in numerous actions, including marches commemorating the UPA, anti-communist rallies, concerts featuring far-right bands, and violent clashes with police and ideological opponents. On 8 November 2008, following a meeting of leaders of Ukrainian nationalist organizations, the UNTP and several other groups declared allied relations with the Social-National Assembly as part of the creation of a "United Social-Nationalist Force." After 2009, the UNTP effectively ceased to exist as a unified organization. Some members, including former leader Yevhen Herasymenko, radically shifted their ideological position from ultra-right to ultra-left and became founders of the autonomous nationalist movement. Another part of former members remained within right-wing discourse, gathering for some time around the national-labor internet journal "Strike." As of 2020, the UNTP's VK public page was still active. The organization used specific symbols: initially an emblem and flag with crossed sword and hammer in a white circle on a red-black background; from 2007, a monogram of stylized crossed letters "N" and "T" in black with white edging on a red square flag. Note: The official website domain (untp.org.ua) currently hosts an online casino platform (Favbet), which is unrelated to the historical organization.

The Ukrainian National Labor Party (UNTP) began its activities in 2005 as a civic organization. At that time, the organization consisted of skinheads and a small group of neo-Nazi ideologues. It was officially registered on 19 April 2007. The leader of the UNTP was Yevhen Oleksandrovych Herasymenko, a citizen of Russia, known by the pseudonym "Krot" (Mole). On 8 November 2008, after a meeting of leaders of Ukrainian nationalist organizations, a decision was made to create a "United Social-Nationalist Force" — the Social-National Assembly. The UNTP and several other nationalist organizations declared allied relations with the Social-National Assembly.

Part of its membership (including ex-leader Yevhen Herasymenko) radically changed their ideological position from ultra-right to ultra-left and became founders of the autonomous nationalist movement. Another part of former UNTP members remained within right-wing discourse; this part gathered for some time around the national-labor internet journal "Strike". Until 2020, the UNTP VK public page was still active. Symbols: At the beginning of its existence, the UNTP used an emblem and flag with crossed sword and hammer in a white circle on a red-black background. From 2007, the national-laborites began using new symbols — a monogram in the form of a stylized image of crossed letters "N" and "T" in black with a white edge on a red field of a square flag.
