{{Quote|Russia is everything, the rest is nothing!|The National Bolshevik Party's motto.}}

The '''National Bolshevik Party''' was a Russian political party founded in 1993 and was dissolved in 2007.

== History ==

=== Early years ===
The party was founded by [[Eduard Limonov]] and [[Aleksandr Dugin]] on the 1st May 1993, after [[Eduard Limonov|Limonov]] was inspired by the works of [[Aleksandr Dugin|Dugin]]. Afterwards, the NBP joined the National Salvation Front, which brought together communists and nationalists in the opposition against Boris Yeltsin. However, the NBP was forced to quit due to disagreements with Vladimir Žirinovskij and even within the NBP itself, which caused the farewell of one of its founders and main ideologue [[Aleksandr Dugin]] who blamed [[Eduard Limonov]] of depraving National Bolshevism and selling himself and the party to the enemies of Russia like the USA.

=== Mass apostasy ===
In the last years of the party, a substantial slice of national-Bolshevik militants, noticed a change in the political-ideological line of the NBP have decided to abandon it.

=== Foundation of a new party ===
In August 2006, the dissidents, led by Aleksej Golubovič, created the National Bolshevik Front, allied with the Evrazijskij Soyuz Molodëži, the new youth group created by  [[Aleksandr Dugin]], decidedly anti-Atlantic and supporter of the president [[Vladimir Putin|Putin]].

=== Judicial problems ===
On the other hand, the original branch of the NBP was running into serious judicial troubles and since 2005 has been fighting in the courtrooms to modify a banning decree. From 2006 until 2007, [[Eduard Limonov|Limonov]] and his followers allied themselves with the neoliberals Garri Kasparov and Mikhail Kas'janov in the Drugaja Rossija cartel.[[File:NBP Odintsovo.jpg|thumb|Militants of the NBP attacking an election place during Duma Elections, 2007.]]
=== Banning ===
On the 7th August 2007, the NBP was officialy banned. This would ultimately cause various riots made by militants of the party for manifesting against the banning.

== Ideology ==

=== Theoretical bases ===
The National Bolshevik Party was an openly anti-Atlanticist, anti-Western, Eurasianist and nationalist party. It supported [[Stalinism]] and [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union|Soviet communism]] together with the [[Third Position]].

=== Inspirations ===
The party took inspiration from various philosophers including Julius Evola, Ernst Niekisch, Georges Sorel, Hegel, Bakunin and Yukio Mishima.

=== Ideological changes ===
Although this, the party, thanks to [[Eduard Limonov]], decided to side with the neoliberals, softened the anti-Western sentiment and positively evaluated the "Ukrainian Orange Revolution".
