Background
Narodno-trudovoi soiuz (National Alliance of Russian Solidarists, known by its Russian abbreviation "NTS") was founded in
1930 by a group of young Russian "White émigrés" in Serbia. As a Russian patriotic, anticommunist organization, the NTS fought
communism by studying Soviet culture to understand the soul of people living in the USSR. It is the largest and most active
political association of Russian émigrés in Western Germany.
