^ nb: Within the context of National Bolshevism, which is described as "a peculiar form of Marxist–Leninist etatism that fused the pursuit of communist ideals with more etatist ambitions reminiscent of tsarist 'Great Power' (velikoderzhavnye) traditions",[13] the party is seen as an attempt by Limonov and Dugin to try to unite left-wing and right-wing extremists on the same platform,[14] and as having used, in reference to one of the party's mobilizations, "a bizarre mixture of totalitarian and fascist symbols, geopolitical dogma, leftist ideas, and national-patriotic demagoguery."[15] |
There have been smaller NBP groups in other countries. Its official publication, the newspaper Limonka, derived its name from the party leader's surname and from the idiomatic Russian word for a grenade. The main editor of Limonka was for many years, Aleksey Volynets. Russian courts banned the organization and it never officially registered as a political party. In 2010, its leader Eduard Limonov founded a new political party, called The Other Russia of E. V. Limonov.[18]
