The organization is known for controversial actions and statements. In June 1999 it signed a petition defending Aleksandras Lileikis, the former head of Vilnius branch of Lithuanian Security Police (a Lithuanian Nazi-sponsored collaborationist police force that operated from 1941 to 1944), accused of extermination of Jews and collaboration with the Nazis during the Second World War. Vilnija has been known to often organize or support anti-Polish actions and the academic works of its leader,the philologist Kazimieras Garšva, have been very negatively received by Polish government, media , and on occasion criticized by the Lithuanian government as well.
