The National Bolshevik Party (NBP, Russian: Национал-большевистская партия, НБП, also known as Nazbol, Russian: Нацболы) was a Russian political party. Its political program was National Bolshevism. The NBP was a prominent member of The Other Russia coalition of opposition parties. The organization was banned in Russia, and has never been officially registered as political party. In 2010, its leader founded a new political party, The Other Russia. There are also smaller NBP groups in other countries.
The NBP's preferred political activity consisted of direct action stunts, mostly against prominent political figures. Its official publication was the journal Limonka. Its name derived from the surname of the party's leader, Eduard Limonov, and is idiomatic Russian for grenade. The journal changed its name after the authorities banned it for "promoting extremism and calling on overthrowing the constitutional order". The main editor of Limonka for many years was Alexei Vyacheslavovich Tsvetkov.

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or party:
“It is to be lamented that the principle of national has had very little nourishment in our country, and, instead, has given place to sectional or state partialities. What more promising method for remedying this defect than by uniting American women of every state and every section in a common effort for our whole country.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“Growing older, I have lost the need to be political, which means, in this country, the need to be left. I am driven into grudging toleration of the Conservative Party because it is the party of non-politics, of resistance to politics.”
—Kingsley Amis (1922–1995)
