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…)
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.
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They are withdrawn a licence, scolded for extremism, but they don’t care a straw.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.
SARATOV, Volga Region — Writer Eduard Limonov has never been one to keep his thoughts to himself, especially when it comes to “the evil force called The System.”
Under communism, Limonov’s anti-Soviet views got him expelled from the country. When he returned to Russia in the mid-1990s after 20 years abroad, he headed up a fringe ultranationalist movement and railed against the new regime in the Kremlin, preaching extremism and social justice “by any means necessary.” (more…)
