TheNational Bolshevik Front (NBF;Russian:Национал-большевистский фронт; НБФ,romanized: Natsional-bolshevistskiy front, NBF) was a Russianpolitical party with a political program ofNational Bolshevism. The party was founded in 2006 by supporters ofAleksandr Dugin following a split withinEduard Limonov'sNational Bolshevik Party. The NBF is affiliated with Dugin'sEurasian Youth Union.
The "National Bolshevik Front" name had previously been used for multiple strands of National Bolshevism. The name was initially used by the Russian National Bolshevik Party when the party was founded by Eduard Limonov and Aleksandr Dugin in 1993. The group soon changed its name as it emerged as apolitical party. Although abandoned by the Russian party, the National Bolshevik Front name was still used by a loose federation ofEuropean National Bolshevik organisations. The name was also used by National Bolshevik parties inVenezuela andBolivia.[citation needed]
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 memberAleksandr Dugin and closely cooperates with theEurasian Youth Union, a group of young supporters of Dugin'sneo-Eurasianism.[1]
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 andoligarchs in order to overthrowVladimir Putin's government. The NBF considered this policy to be a betrayal of the original National Bolshevik fight againstWestern style democracy andcapitalism. 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 likeBoris Berezovsky andVladimir Gusinsky and liberal-democratic pro-Western and pro-market political forces (such as theUnion of Right Forces,Yabloko,Democratic Union andGarry Kasparov's supporters) as Russia's internal enemies, the external ones being perceived asNATO,American imperialism and thenew world order. NBF ideology is deeply rooted in the Russian and German National Bolshevik traditions (Ernst Niekisch,Nikolay Ustryalov, theSmenavekhites and theMladorossi movement) and they rejectpolitical andeconomic liberalism as well as claiming to rejectethnocentric andchauvinistnationalism.
