The National Bolshevik Party was a third positionist party that was fairly large and popular in Russia. It blended ideas of Soviet communism and Russian fascism and married them together into an unholy and bizarre ideology. The party started in 1993, as the brainchild of Eduard Limonov (a Sovietist and a Ruscist) and Aleksandr Dugin.[1]
The NBP has had several branches and offshoots in other countries (mostly post-Soviet/Russian sphere countries). The members of the party are referred to as Nazbols (Nazi Bolsheviks). Despite its popularity in Russian politics, the party was never officially registered as a legitimate politic party and was banned by Russian courts, and ceased operations.[2]
How did this happen?[edit]
During the 1990s in Russia between the collapse of the Soviet Union and the beginning of Russia, some people were deep followers and far-left adherents of of Soviet communism and Stalinism. Once the Soviet Union fell and Russia came along, many of these Russian nationalists also adopted far-right beliefs and blended these ideologies together in an unholy matrimony. The resulting ideology is something of a unique shitshow that hasn't been seen in other nations (aside from Stasserism in Nazi Germany).[3]
The communist left and the fascist right found common ground in a nationalist and anti-western ideology, going as far as to blend the ideologies together.[4] Nazbols inherited several ideological tenets from the Bolsheviks and the White Movement.[5]
