Limonov, Eduard (1943- ) (Russia)

Eduard Limonov is a controversial Russian writer and the head of the National Bolshevik Party. He was born on February 22, 1943, in the town of Dzerzhinsk, Gorky Province, Russia. His birth name was Eduard Savenko, but later he adopted the pseudonym Limonov. His father was a Ukrainian NKVD (secret police) officer and his mother a Russian. During his youth, the family lived in Kharkov. Despite strict discipline at home, Limonov was a juvenile delinquent as a teenager and was frequently in trouble with the police. He left school at the age of 16 and became a welder. By this time, Limonov discovered the Soviet underground literary world. A brief visit to Moscow in 1966 provoked him to settle there on September 30. He lived in the Moscow literary world and survived by obtaining part-time work.

Limonov became a novelist writing nationalistic books. His anti-Soviet views led to his exile from the Soviet Union in 1974. Soviet authorities were dissatisfied with his bohemian lifestyle and offered him the choice of leaving Moscow or emigrating. Limonov decided to emigrate. He settled first in New York City for six years before moving briefly to Los Angeles, where he married the poet, writer, and musician Natalia Medvedeva. They tired of American culture and moved to Paris in 1982. Limonov despised American democracy and what he saw as corporate domination of the political process. During his stay in Paris, Limonov met with several prominent extremists, from Alain de Benoist, the French right-wing theorist, to Jean-François Thiriart, the Belgian pan-Europe advocate. Soon after the collapse of the Soviet Union Limonov returned to Russia. He wrote a series of novels that became popular, but they were never critically acclaimed.

Soon after his return to Russia, Limonov turned to right-wing politics. Russian authorities reinstated his Russian citizenship in 1991. He founded the National Bolshevik Party in September 1992 to unify half a dozen groups from both the extreme left and extreme right. His goal was to revive Russian culture, create a socialist economy, and rebuild the Russian empire. In September 1993, Limonov thought that the time was ripe for a coup d’état against the Yeltsin government. Yeltsin had just disbanded the Russian parliament when Limonov and members of the National Bolshevik Party participated with other groups, including the neo-fascists following Aleksandr Barkashov, in an assault on the Russian parliamentary building. After the assault failed and several hundreds were killed, Limonov was arrested. He was freed in the February 1994 amnesty passed by the Russian parliament.

Limonov was an early patron of Vladimir Volfovich Zhirinovsky. He recognized the political potential of Zhirinovsky, noting that Zhirinovsky's only drawback was his father's Jewish background. Zhirinovsky also realized the importance of Limonov's backing. He appointed Limonov to the post of head of the Intelligence Department of the Liberal-Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR). Limonov escorted Zhirinovsky on his Paris visit in September 1992 and introduced him to the French extremist and head of the National Front, Jean-Marie Le Pen.

Limonov's goal of turning the National Bolshevik Front into a viable political party was stymied by the emergence of Russian President Vladimir Putin. He tried, with limited success, to take advantage of the economic dislocation in Russia. Limonov tried to speed the disintegration process by political demonstration, but when he tried to stockpile weapons, Russian authorities arrested him. Federal Security Service (FSB) agents arrested him in 2001 on charges of forming illegal armed units in preparation of overthrowing the government. After two years of incarceration in Lefortovo Prison, Limonov finally came to trial in May 2003 and received a four-year prison sentence. His sentence lasted less than three months before he received a conditional early release by court order. Limonov returned as head of the National Bolshevik Party, with the goal of returning to an active role in politics. His most recent campaign has been the sponsorship of the Russia Without Putin movement in an effort to unseat Russian President Vladimir Putin by boycotting the March 14, 2004, presidential election. Limonov attacks Putin over the war in Chechnya, widespread terrorism in Russia, Russian ethnic troubles in the Baltic states, and American penetration into former Soviet republics of Central Asia.
