White Aryan Resistance (Sweden)

White Aryan Resistance (Swedish: Vitt Ariskt Motstånd, VAM) was a militant neo-Nazi network active in Sweden between 1991 and 1993.

According to Stieg Larsson, a researcher of white supremacist organizations, the group was rather styled on the then already defunct US white supremacist group The Order, led by Robert Jay Mathews.

[1] VAM was founded by Klas Lund, other leading members were Torulf Magnusson and Peter Melander, editor of the group's magazine Storm.

[2] According to a report prepared and jointly published in November 1999 by Sweden's four largest daily newspapers, Aftonbladet, Expressen, Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet, many former members of the organisation are members of present-day neo-Nazi organisations.

Another VAM offshoot was the now-defunct National Socialist Front which was formed in 1994.
