Summary/Abstract: The National Radical Camp (NRC) in Poland in the midwar period was exceptional phenomenon. In the whole bunch of national assosiations this one was open to new wave of ideas coming from the West, known as national-revolutionary or national-radical. In the polish national camp, national-radicals occurred due to disappointment of liberalism and democracy. From this reason came characteristic rush to revolutionary renewal, searching for new organizational, ideological, political and constitutional solutions. In the common knowledge, image of the NRC history was established by historiographical works, written on the basis of the party’s Warsaw headquarters. Rather unknown are the activities of the local NRC sections in Poland. In the meantime, the NRC sections had some impact on the shape of local social relations. This article presents radical go-ons in Vilnius. Author approaches the mechanism of organisations actions, way of functioning, attitude towards current events. On the example of Vilnius radical organization we can follow the stages of The National Radical Camp development and eventually it’s final collapse.
