Eduard Limonov - Balkanskii A.

Eduard Limonov is one of the most controversial figures of modern Russian literature and politics. During his life he managed to visit moscow bohemian poet, homeless expat in New York, fashionable writer in Paris, and then - a radical politician, whose books and performances invariably caused scandal. Having found itself in opposition to the authorities not only of Russia, but also of other countries of the former USSR, Limonov and the National Bolshevik Party created by him became famous for high-profile public actions, which eventually led the party to a ban, and its leader - to prison terms. Today, despite the venerable age, Limonov remains active and youthful in all areas - creativity, politics, personal life. His first Russian-language biography was written by a long-time associate of the writer, St. Petersburg politician and journalist Andrey Dmitriev (literary pseudonym - Balkan) based on personal memories and conversations with the hero of the book.
