Well, I certainly like Limonov as a writer, much less as a politician:) Good party wouldn't call itself double-trouble national (like the nazis) and bolsheviks - together they drunk way too much of Russian blood in the last century.
Did 'anonymous' (correction, 'anonymous coward', in slashdot terminology) reader actually read the article in question? Litvinenko never was a high-profile Putin critic (nor a spy); recovered-from-poison Gaidar wrote an article in FT, pointing finger at government enemies, not Putin, as the culprit; neither Putin, nor Kasparov declared that they would run in 2008.
This 'Other Russia' (that is, a surreal reincarnation) umbrella includes National Bolshevik Party - the very guys who have swastikas and a red flag as their symbols. Kasparov insist that it is OK, because 'they have all agreed on common principles in support of free speech and democracy'. Millions of Russians died because of the bolsheviks during and after the Revolution; tens of millions more fled to other countries. Hasn't Kasparov heard that story in school?
