Nordiska Rikspartiet (NRP, Swedish, "The Nordic National Party") was founded in 1955 as Sveriges Nationalsocialistiska Kampförbund by Göran Assar Oredsson. Oredsson was the also the party leader except for a few years during the 1970s when he wrote his autobiography Prisat vare allt som gjort mig hårdare ("Blessed be everything that has made me harder"). During that time, his wife Vera Ordesson took on the role as party leader.

In 1973 NRP ran for the Swedish parliament but only obtained a few hundred votes.
