// National-Bolsheviks climbed the roof of Nikulinsky court building
Action of Protest
Yesterday, activists from National Bolshevik Party (NBP) seized Nikulinsky court in Moscow. They hanged on the roof a makeshift poster: “Putin, leave by yourself!”
Novaia Gazeta have recently accused me of going to tusovkas, they think that I have no right to partying, “in time, when his young activists been held in prisons.” That was written as “Editorial Note,” page 11, Novaia Gazeta N93, issuded on December 12. Later at night, radio station “Echo of Moscow” scrutinized my behaviour on same matter with a help of writer Alexander Kabakov and politician Dmitri Rogozin. Rogozin talked about me correctly, he demonstrated perfect diplomatical style, whereas Kabakov, he is known as Limonov-hater, so it was not surprizing to be supported by Rogozin and ferociously attacked by Kabakov. What is infuriating that liberal Novaia Gazeta and also liberal “Echo” have choosen to attack me, a man with a best personal record amongst leaders of political parties. I am only one who was arrested, was put on trial, was sentenced and eventually been held in diverse prisons and camp for two and a half years. No Russian political leader, liberal or communist have such record. Why to accuse me? What for? Liberals wants me to be in prison 365 days per year? Each year?
Of 39 activists of the National Bolshevik Party (NBP), who occupied a reception office of president’s staff a year ago, eight were sentenced to from two to three and a half years of prison December 8, 2005; 31 activists got suspended sentences and were freed right in the court hall. NBP leader, Eduard Limonov called the sentences “savage punishment targeted at scaring opposition parties.”
A year ago I wrote a poem, concerning nineties. I will translate it from my excellent Russian to my broken English as best, as I can.
