A story on Russia's political youth movements in this week's Ogoniok (in Russian).

Here's the beginning of the segment on the National Bolshevik Party (NBP):

Formally, the age of the party's leader is not that of a child, but Limonov will forever remain "the adolescent Savenko" and NBP - the party of the young.


On the photo, however, Eduard Limonov, 63, is posing underneath a portrait of Stalin - and looks like nothing but an old fart.

  1. It first occurred to me that NBP was on Putin's payroll when I saw these photos of Limonov and Dmytro Korchynsky enjoying some godawful 'revolutionary' fashion show together. Here're some links, from Korchynsky's Bratstvo site:

    But even if they aren't on Putin's payroll, they are aiding him a lot - by giving lots of material to his 'anti-fascist' Nashi, for instance:
