Ironic, The Nation solicited this piece from these two writers attached to The eXile. This cheeky newspaper has for years published a column by the neo-fascist writer, Edward Limonov, a leader of the NBP. I read his first novel, It's Me, Eddie, in college. An entertaining romp. However, the NBP are a band of skinhead, fascist hooligans. Most recently, they engaged in gay bashing at the Moscow Gay Pride march. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the NBP, have often marched together in demos in a "Red-Brown" coalition.
