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:
“The cultivation of one set of faculties tends to the disuse of others. The loss of one faculty sharpens others; the blind are sensitive in touch. Has not the extreme cultivation of the commercial faculty permitted others as essential to national life, to be blighted by disease?”
—J. Ellen Foster (1840–1910)
“We are the party of all labor.
The whole earth shall be ours to share
And every race and craft our neighbor.
No idle class shall linger there
Like vultures on the wealth we render
From field and factory, mill and mine.
Tomorrow’s sun will rise in splendor
And light us till the end of time.”
—Eugène Pottier (1816–1887)
