The Vovk Battalion (Khoroshiyan: Батальйон Вовк) was a terrorist group that operated in Gjorka, mainly in Roscommon, from 1955-1983. The Group was far-right in nature and advocated for the Independence of Khoroshiya. The Battalion was founded in 1955 as a splinter from the Front for the Liberation of Khoroshiya as the Front leaned further to the left (likely to alleged support from Ajakanistan and Zloveshchiy). It grew increasingly far-right as operated eventually becoming fascist in nature. While never being outright enemies, the Front and the Battalion did have occasional skirmishes due to the extreme difference in political ideology. Following the Black Revolution, the Group's activities decreased until in 1983 their leader Polina Marchenko was arrested causing the battalion to dissolve.
Since 2006, calls to reform the battalion in response to increased violence against Khoroshiyans have steadily increased.
