BTW, are the National-Bolsheviks running candidates? Is Limonov still in jail anyway?
Running candidates for what? For prison council representative? I doubt. They aren't a registered political party, they can't run candidates.
No, Limonov isn't in jail, AFAIK
Weren't they involved with 'Other Russia' or something like that a while back? I don't really follow the Russian opposition, and certainly not the more weirdish parts of it, but Limonov at least had some merits as a poet/writer, which I doubt are to be found in Zhirinosky's oeuvre. And then of course there's the Karadzic video, so I take a bit of an interest in what befalls Limonov. (Also, appearantly there now is an Emmanuel Carrère book about him that's been described to me as quite good).
