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 group of activists of the radical National Bolshevik Party stormed the Health Ministry headquarters on August 2 to protest the government’s plan to replace Soviet-era benefits with cash payments. Protestors were detained by the police after they seized one of the ministry’s offices shouting antigovernment slogans from the window and waving flags. In a statement released by the NBP following their detention, the party said its members were savagely battered by FSB officers at the Tverskoye police department.
In an interview to Gazeta.Ru, Eduard Limonov, a novelist, leader and founder of the NBP, comments on the incident.
