The NTS included not only Russians but other traditional peoples of Russia (e.g., [[Georgians]], [[Balts]], [[Kalmyks]]), hence the organization used the term ''[[Ethnic groups in Russia|Rossijane]]'' (россияне; meaning "peoples of Russia") rather than ''Russkie'' (русские; meaning "ethnic [[Russians]]") in their political programs. Many [[Russophilia|Russophiles]] also joined the organization, e.g., [[Germans]], [[Polish people|Poles]], [[Slovenes|Slovenians]].
 
The organization adopted a logo of the Russian flag with the [[Symbols of the Rurikids|symbol of St. Vladimir]], which is also the [[Coatcoat of Armsarms of Ukraine]] and the [[Ukrainian People's Republic]], to demonstrate the [[All-Russian nation|continuity and interrelatedness of Russian and Ukrainian tradition]]. The trident was also used by NTS as a revolutionary symbol, called the "forks of the people's anger".
 
Perhaps the most famous NTS member was [[Alexander Galich (writer)|Alexander Galich]], a Soviet screenwriter and [[Bard (Soviet Union)|bard]] who joined after he was exiled from the USSR for his critical songs and [[dissident]] activities.<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Rebirth of Russian Democracy: An Interpretation of Political Culture|last=Petro|first=Nicolai N.|date=1995|publisher=Harvard Univ.
