The Lithuanian Nationalist Union (Lithuanian: Lietuvių tautininkų sąjunga LTS) also known as the Nationalists (Tautininkai) is a nationalist right-wing political party in Lithuania founded in 1924 when the Party of National Progress merged with the Lithuanian Farmers’ Association. It was the ruling party of Lithuania from the 1926 Lithuanian coup d’état in December 1926 to the Soviet occupation in June 1940. The party was re-established when Lithuania declared independence in 1990.
