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.

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…)
The 19 February, from 14.00 to 15.00, the national-Bolsheviks picketed the office of the company “Itera” on the Sevastopoloski prospect in Moscow. The action was arranged for the birthday of the Turkmenbashi, celebrated in Turkmenia as a governmental holiday. “Itera” is one of the largest business-partners of Niazov.
The member of the NBP Central Committee Sergei Fomchenkov is answering at the instance of Edward Limonov.
1. Could you present us the National-Bolshevik Party, its ideology and aims?
The National-Bolshevik Party now represents an acting political organization with 10 years of history of struggle, counting about 12000 members, having more than 50 regional departments around Russia. The party members are mainly the youth(15-30 years old), people discontent with their social position, marginals, nonordinary personalities with literary and artistic propensity, even “hereditary” revolutionaries. On the whole all the strata of society, different nationalities, religions are represented.
Our ideology is based on the works of such theorists of national-bolshevism as Ustryalov, Agurski, the works of Edward Limonov. We also borrow the ideas of current importance from Lenin, Mussolini, Mao and others.
Our aim is to come to power in Russia by means of National Revolution. We aspire to the establishment of the national and social justice in Russia, to the complete replacement of the ruling class - the power of functionaries and former nomenclature elite removal, redistribution and nationalization of property.
I’m tired - there was always somebody who tried to tell me who is Eduard Limonov. The same thing now, a fifty years old, mustached, sturdy-complexioned representative of the intern agencies. “Don’t you understand that he’s a CIA agent?”
Stop. All of this began a little earlier.
The back seat of a “Volga”, the head below the knees, the left hand squeezed by my own body, a bracelet is snapped on the right. Blows are pouring on the head and the kidneys. (more…)
Last week, National Bolshevik leader and eXile hero Edward Limonov sat down with eXile editors Mark Ames, John Dolan and Jake Rudnitsky to discuss politics and literature. What follows is the first part of the roundtable, in which we cover Russian and world politics at the turn of the century. Next issue we will print our discussion about Limonov’s own books, the practical side of writing, and his views on what makes for quality literature.
The campaign to clean up electioneering by Russia’s top electoral official, Alexander Veshnyakov, has got off to a bad start. As he closed a five-day conference involving 27 political parties at the Manezh exhibition centre in Moscow, the mud-slinging, or rather the mayonnaise-slinging, began. (more…)
