Manual for youth aggression
Sunday, February 8th, 2009Revolutionary Rock
Friday, October 24th, 2008Opposition groups release a new collection of protest songs.
Russian rock music, which was in didactic opposition to the Soviet Union before its fall in the early 90s, has lately tended to compromise with the increasingly authoritarian Kremlin rather than challenge it.
Some leading Russian rock figures, for instance, entertained the Kremlin-backed youth movement Nashi at its summer camp on Lake Seliger in 2005 and 2006 as well as performed on Red Square to celebrate the election of Dmitry Medvedev to the presidency on March 2 this year. (more…)
Kremlin Public Enemy No.1
Friday, May 4th, 2007Police-state is not the same state that is fascist state. Russia before April 14, 2007 was a police state, but it became a fascist state after brutal suppression of “March of Dissenters” on April 14 in Moscow, and April 15 in St. Petersburg. I went through both of them.
On the morning of April 14 center of Moscow was looking like a military camp. Army vehicles, columns of special forces. Passersby were severely scrutinized by soldiers and police officers. Suspected to be dissenters were dragged out almost immediately. I met Garry Kasparov at about 11:30 am near Zubovsky Bulvar. Mikhail Kasyanov was blocked somewhere, so we have decided to go at Pushkinskaya Ploschad, where we have announced dissenters should meet. On telephone we have received an information that biggest group of dissenters have concentrated itself near Museum of Revolution on Tverskaya Ulitsa. We decided to go there. Kasparov’s car have passed across the street on yellow light, so a car with me and my security people have arrived to the place of destination near Museum of Revolution with few minutes delay. I saw Kasparov surrounded by police special forces soldiers. Other soldiers were running towards Kasparov. One of Kasparov’s security people saw my car and me in it, ready to get out, so he signaled me with his hands, “No, don’t go out!”

Germany, my Germany
Friday, April 22nd, 2005
I started this text on April 19th, having in mind to write about Germany. That fucking Germany I heard about from the tender age about 2,5 or three years old. That fucking country of Goethe, Schiller, Vagner and Hitler.
Then my telephone ringed. National-Bolshevik M. have called from Butirskaia prison. He said that hunger strike that have started yesterday lunched at first by seven National-Bolsheviks at Butirka; was under menace. That special militia forces: OMON, operating in prisons, have arrived at Butirskaia prison and have applied pressure on the heads of prison’s criminal underworld. Those guys in their turn are pressing National-Bolsheviks in order to force them to stop hunger strike. Jesus! That is last thing what we been in need, thought I. Goodbye Germany, anyway. I wanted to say that I am not forgiving them for killing my relatives and devastating my country. But for now they should wait, Germans.

At 10:45 a.m. on August 2, about 30 members of National-Bolsheviks Party arrived to the main entrance of Russian Ministry of Health Care at Rakhmanovski pereulok in Moscow. Some of them were wearing a green overalls, pretending to be workers. They presented themselves as a team of sanitarians, arrived to do a disinfection of ministry premises. So they asked clerks to live for a while. Office workers have agreeably obeyed orders. National-Bolsheviks have occupied offices of Minister Zurabov, as well as a few other offices on the second and third floor. They opened the windows, fixed National-Bolsheviks flags out of the windows. Then they start to shout slogans and throw leaflets out of the windows.
They shouted, “Zurabov is enemy of the people!”, “For our elders we’ll cut your ears!”, “Privileges to the people, Ministers to the guillotine!”, “To people — free medicine, ministers to the guillotine!” (more…)

Punk-Fascism in Israel
Tuesday, May 25th, 2004Children Of The Anxious Times
Punks - this word means so much for a russian heart… The most reckles informal movement of the last decade - one could always pick them out in the crowd of other “hippie-rockers” by a bright irokez and a striking number of ear-rings in different places. Frightful customs were asociated with the punks, eating the products of one’s own vital activity during the initiation ceremony was the best-known one. Punk-music of the 80-s was foreboding Apocalypse, and the songs’ texts seemed to be an absolute nonsense. But whatever they were spoken about and whatever frightful rumours they were spread about, on the basis of nihilism russian punks, and first of all legendary “Grajdanskaya Oborona”, managed to create their own world and culture, deserving if not respect, study at least. The new generation of irokez bearers even don’t dream about it… In the new millennium the punk culture has noticeably given up its positions. The word punk is more and more associated with an unprincipled rabble, who’s happiness is in drinking, smoking, doping… But today we’ll meet, perhaps, the last of the punk Mohicans, the bearers of the unique underground life philosophy, which will soon become history. Besides we’ll find out if they like living in the historic motherland, surrounded by the admirers of Shlomo Artsi and Sarid Hadad…
Moldova’s National-Bolsheviks: Revolution Today
Tuesday, May 4th, 2004
Political spring in Kishinev turned out to be hot. For really youth public organizations, among which the Kishinev department of the NBP is leading, too. News releases of this youth group are not gay with popmpous reports on received grants. They rather remind of reports from the field of military operations:
“Today, on the 22 of April at about 9.10 a.m., 4 or 6 activists of the National-Bolshevik Party were arrested not far from Moldexpo centre, when going to the rally alternative to that of the PKRM and devoted to V.I. Lenin’s birthday. Let me remind you that the rally of the alternative Left Forces had been organized by the city administration of Kishinev and took place from 9.30 till 11.00 near the entrance to the Moldexpo exhibition centre. The action was held under the slogan “Yes to Lenin, No to Voronin!”
