The organization was formed of ethnic Lithuanians and led by Kazimieras Garšva. Its beliefs, elaborated in a monograph by Garszwa, were based on an assumption that Poles of what became a part of Lithuania in 1945 were in fact polonized Lithuanians and that their true identity had been erased by years of foreign occupation, and that they should be brought back to their Lithuanian roots by erasing any trace of alien (that is Polish or Russian) textbooks, symbols, teachers and symbols. The organization goal is also to counter perceived growing Polish influence in Lithuania, which Vilnija sees as a threat to that state.

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