When the Soviet Union invaded Latvia in 1940, They have freed the Communists but not the Pērkonkrusts because Instead were arrested again also some of them are being deported to Siberian gulags but when Nazi Germany does Operation Barbarossa to occupied and liberate Latvia in 1941, Gustavs Celminš has moved back to Latvia to regained leadership of the original Pērkonkrusts in the service of the German Wehrmacht. The Pērkonkrusts have been restored with 15,000 members but many of them held positions in institutions set up by the German occupation such as the Latvian Auxiliary Police, the Schutzstaffel and the Sicherheitsdienst but also led the Latvian press that is allowed by the occupying authorities.

Modern Pērkonkrusts
Igors Šiškins was born in June 9th 1959 in Rēzekne inside of the Soviet Union with his Russian father & Latvian mother that split apart from each other and in 1975 he graduated from the Professional Builders Technical High School then he worked his life as a driver, locksmith, and stonecutter.

In the early 1990s the Pērkonkrusts have been revived by Jānis Rība whose stated goal was to overthrow the Liberal government for a Latvian Latvia and Igors Šiškins has joined this pre-World War II movement. The Pērkonkrusts has the Rība's Defenders and it was an unregistered splinter group from the self-proclaimed successor organization of the pre-World War 2 Aizsargi but in 1995 three former members left this group joined up with martial artist Juris Rečs to reconstitute the Pērkonkrusts in a proper way. Members of the Pērkonkrusts tried to bomb the Soviet Victory Memorial but failed until in June 5th 1997 they successfully done it with two members having to lost their lives and Latvian authorities have linked Igors Šiškins to the bombings because he is a member of the Pērkonkrusts. In January 1998 the Latvian government began to arrest Pērkonkrusts members, first Igors Šiškins in August then most of the their leaders in 2000 but they were realized one year later and then the Pērkonkrusts were banned in 2006.

In the 2006 Latvian parliamentary elections Igors Šiškins tired to get elected into the Latvian government with a Lithuanian Liberal Conservative political party but it only received 0.1% of the vote so he is not elected and also Igors Šiškins took part in an event called the "Remembrance Day Of The Latvian Legionnaires" to remember some Pērkonkrusts soliders that died for the Waffen SS. Igors Šiškins has founded the Gustavs Celmiņš Centre (GCC) in 2007 as a successor to the Pērkonkrusts and to preserve the Dievturība religion but after that Igors Šiškins was arrested for wearing forbidden symbols in public in May 9th 2007 along with being arrested by doing the same thing in May 9th 2007. Igors Šiškins has been arrested again along with his buddy during a halted march commemorating the liberation of Riga from the Soviets on July 1st 1941 and in 2012 he invited representatives from Far-Right groups in Ukraine, Russia, Germany & Poland to celebrate the "Remembrance Day Of The Latvian Legionnaires" but later he was arrested again but this time for attempting to purchase explosives and the Gustavs Celmiņš Centre (GCC) have been dissolved along with the website that is now fake news since 2016 also it was gone forever.

Ugunskrusts
Before the Pērkonkrusts, there is the Ugunskrusts and it existed since November 5th 1931 after the Latvian Parliamentary Election of 1931, in which the far-right candidates failed to gain power but also the Ugunskrusts was created by Adolfs Greble/J. Greble who is a footballer in order to unite the former members of the Latvian National Club. The Ugunskrusts has different names to itself such as Fire Cross, Firecracker & Firecrust but also the Ugunskrusts was registered by Riga Regional Court on January 19th 1932 and it has a founding meeting with the Riga Latvian Society (1868-Today) that took on January 24th 1932 at Riga with 69 people in it. The Ugunskrusts did not reach 200 members in the first months but in the summer of 1932, T-Groups/Alarm groups began to be formed to protect the Ugunskrusts after attacks by left-wing organizations for being Anti-Semitic, Anti-Democratic & Anti-German along with sympathy for Fascist Italy and in August 21th 1932, the Ugunskrusts have published a weekly newspaper called Firecracker even it was the same name but on September 14th 1932 the Riga Regional Court the seized the first four issues.

In the start of the year 1933 the Ugunskrusts had achieved some success among academic youth & student corporations for example they win 1 out of 40 seats in the elections the University Of Latvia and then the Ugunskrusts have gained more members. In March 1933 an Physical Education Society called the Patriotic Guardian was claimed to have activities that were closely related to the Ugunskrusts and it has T-Groups/Alarm Groups in it. On March 17th 1933, the Latvian government has adopted a decision on the ban of the Ugunskrusts but instead on March 27th 1933 they have banned the Latvian National Socialist Party and on April 12, 1933 the Ugunskrusts was dissvolved with a ban.
