Mindaugas Murza

Mindaugas Murza-Gervaldas (born December 16, 1973) is an anti-semitic Lithuanian politician, a radical nationalist former member of the National Democratic Party (Lithuania), former member of the Lithuanian National Defence Volunteer Forces (a Lithuanian government sponsored paramilitary organization), a one time leader of the Neo-Nazi National Socialist Party, and member of Šiauliai city municipality council. He is known for his anti-semitic statements.^[1]

In 1998 Murza and other members of his party, Lithuanian Alliance of Nationalist-Socialist Unity, in their publications "Voice of the Nation" attacked Lithuania's minorities of Jews, Poles and Russians, and demanded that conditions for these minorities be made so unbearable so that they would leave Lithuania.^[2]

In April 2005, Murza passed plans to establish a new political party, called the United National Workers Party. Its aims would be to encompass up to 3% of the population eventually, and win in the next municipal elections to Šiauliai city council.

At the creation of new party, Mindaugas Murza compared globalism to Zionism, which led to investigation against him being carried out by Lithuanian prosecutors on basis of preaching hatred (anti-Semitism).

On April 12, 2005 police seized hard drives from Murza's personal computer and computers of his colleagues. For legal reasons (prosecution pending) the court did not allow Mindaugas Murza to change his name to Mindaugas Gervaldas.

On November 19, 2011 his wedded on russian citizen Zlata Rapova.
