In August 2006, the "National Bolshevik Front" name was taken by Alexei Golubovich for a new anti-Limonovist splinter group from the NBP that he led. This new group has links with former NBP member
Aleksandr Dugin and closely cooperates with the
Eurasian Youth Union, a group of young supporters of Dugin's
neo-Eurasianism. The NBF's founders split from the NBP as they disagreed with what they perceived to be Limonov's policies of forging political alliances with pro-
Western liberals and
oligarchs in order to overthrow
Vladimir Putin's government. The NBF considered this policy to be a betrayal of the original National Bolshevik fight against
Western style democracy and
capitalism. In the NBF's view, the NBP is no longer a National Bolshevik party, but rather the radical-looking wing of a wider revolutionary front supported by the enemies of Russian sovereignty. The new NBF perceives exiled oligarchs like
Boris Berezovsky and
Vladimir Gusinsky and liberal-democratic pro-
Western and pro-
market political forces (such as the
Union of Right Forces,
Yabloko,
Democratic Union and
Garry Kasparov's supporters) as Russia's internal enemies, the external ones being perceived as
NATO,
American imperialism and the
new world order. NBF ideology is deeply rooted in the Russian and German National Bolshevik traditions (
Ernst Niekisch,
Nikolay Ustryalov, the
Smenavekhites and the
Mladorossi movement) and they reject
political and
economic liberalism as well as claiming to reject
ethnocentric and
chauvinist nationalism. == See also ==
