Vaps Movement
Political party in Estonia / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vaps Movement[2] (Estonian: Eesti Vabadussõjalaste Keskliit, later Eesti Vabadussõjalaste Liit, vabadussõjalased, or colloquially vapsid, a single member of this movement was called vaps) was an Estonian political organization. Founded in 1929, it emerged as a mass anti-communist and populist movement from the Union of Participants in the Estonian War of Independence,[3] an association of veterans of the Estonian War of Independence (1918–1920).[2] The leaders of this association were Andres Larka (formal figurehead and presidential candidate) and Artur Sirk.
