Ratniks
The Union of Warriors for the Advancement of Bulgarianness (, Sayuz na ratnitsite za napredaka na balgarshtinata), commonly known as just the Ratniks (, Ratnitsi) was a far-right Bulgarian nationalist organization founded in 1936. Its ideas were close to those of Germany's Nazis, including antisemitism and paramilitarism, but also loyalty to the Bulgarian Orthodox Church. The Ratniks wore red uniforms in outright competition with the communists for the hearts and minds of the Bulgarian youth, and also badges bearing the Bogar: a Bulgarian sun cross, which became the organisation's symbol.
