Mark Ames asked me to write about National-Bolsheviks’ Party and punks movement. So I am forced to take a look at my past, despite the fact that I am very much involved in the present time, because Mark.
I have arrived to New York City from Soviet Union in February, 1975. That was exactly the year punk movement was born. The first what I see of punks in 1976 was fanzine called “Punk.” It was sort of samizdat publication, black and white, formatted A4 size, made on Xerox machine. One of the editors had a strange name — Legs McNeil. That name “Legs” have shocked me. It was a lot of comics inside and caricatures. I remember one where a girl denied some guy his invitation to dance. She said, “Sorry but no, I only dance with faggots.”

A few figures for the beginning. Now in Strasbourg European human rights court there are 42 claims of members of the National-Bolshevik Party against Russia, against the repressive and unfair decisions, taken by Russian courts.
Now 26 members of the National-Bolshevik Party are in prisons. Altogether 110 members of the NBP have passed through prisons since 1999. I draw your attention to the fact, that arrests and repressive court decisions started in 1999.

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.

In 1994 I have founded National-Bolsheviks party. I was so sick of conventional politics that I have decided to create some entirely new idiology based on style. Much later I have declared that National-Bolsheviks were in existence before National-Bolsheviks Party was created. Yes, when in 1994 somebody asked Egor Letov, Russian punk idol, why he is so poorly dressed, I was present in that moment. Letov answered that he is wearing clothes which his admirers normally wear. “And they are poor people, you know,” explained Letov. “That why I wear cheap baskets, he pointed at his sneakers.”
Taking example from Letov we have recommended to our followers in few first issues of “Limonka” to wear black jeans, black footwear, to cut their hair short. That was precisely those clothes that poor moscovits youngsters were sporting in those days, and now. So our party style was an imitation of street style. In that very sense it is true that National-Bolsheviks were valking streets of Russian cities before National-Bolsheviks Party was created. Black is very practical colour, stains and dirt are less visible on black clothes. Later some vise journalists wanted to tie our black clothes to fascist black shorts. I always pointed out that poor moscovites youngsters are dressing up in black. And short hear is practical, it doesn’t require much care.

// Ours starts a drive in schools
Extracurricular reading
Leaders of the propresidential youth movement Ours gave a presentation yesterday called A Program for Fighting Fascism. As part of this program, they published a brochure entitled Extraordinary Fascism, which talks about a united campaign against Russia being carried out by opposition politicians like Eduard Limonov, Irina Khakamada, Vladimir Ryzhkov, Dmitry Rogozin, Gary Kasparov, and Gennady Zyuganov. The brochure will be distributed free in Russian schools, colleges, and universities.

Russian lefts grow swiftly younger. Rallying students succeed grandmothers. They are struggling against Putin the “dictator”, unmasking Zuganov the “revisionist” and are waiting for the anticapitalist revolution any day. In order to brighten up the process of waiting they bombard elder politicians with ketchup and mayonnaise.
On the 23d of February Russia’s left radicals are going to carry out the action “Russia without Putin”. Evidently they will not manage to organize a mass rally, their most significant actions have gathered only about 2000 participants so far. Under Yeltsin mass left radical open-airs mainly attracted grandmothers with saucepans. Now - students.

part two of the eXile interview with Eduard Limonov
— To me, His Butler’s Story is one of your best books. One of the reasons I was shocked when I first read it was that somehow you managed to describe what Jenny, an ordinary American of the time, was like. I read that and looked around at the rest of American literature and nobody repeated it. I always wondered what made it so hard to Americans to describe carefully what was happening. You needed to go to a Russian…
— Probably really because I was new and fresh from the other world. What I saw was probably banality for the Americans. And I came from a completely different social situation. And I had some kind of a good eye… (more…)

Yesterday, a group of activists of Eduard Limonov’s National-Bolshevik Party (NBP) captured the public vestibule of the “United Russia” party in Pereyaslavsky Lane. Having smashed the security, the nazbols penetrated into the building and carried out an action under the motto “Russia without Putin”, arranged with the presidential elections.
The reporter of the newspaper “Kommersant” Oleg Kashin watched the action and was arrested by the police together with its participants. (more…)

For the last half-year NBP demonstrated that often in political struggle tomatoes and eggs are a more effective weapon than bombs and money. When they shot Veshnyakov with mayonnaise and made an omelet of Kasyanov - this is called “velvet terrorism”.
The tomato attacks on officials from the highest echelons of power developed through the entire Russia quickly transformed the nazbols from crackheads and delinquents in fighters with corrupt bureaucracy and defenders of the Russian people. (more…)

But for the limonovists, life would be boring
Like smart scullions they scurry about political kitchen without getting tired and pleasing the gourmets with exotic dishes (”Nikita Mikhalkov With Eggs”, “Chubais Under Mayonnaise” and others). Also they are publishing their newspaper, which one mustn’t publish neither in good conscience, nor according to the law (those who’ve read it know why).
They are withdrawn a licence, scolded for extremism, but they don’t care a straw. There was “Limonka”, now it’s “General Line”. If “General Line” is banned, limonovists will certainly invent something else. The Central Committee of the NBP member Nina Silina (sounds extremely seriously, but in fact it’s a good-looking smiling girl) has told us about the secrets of fantastic vitality of the party.
