==I was just on a Russian National Bolshevik Party site where they were protesting Putin's repression of their 'great ideology'.
Something to keep in mind when considering whether to take Communist demonstrations at face value:

...Before we can understand the Communist role in strategic deception and terrorist warfare, we must answer one critical question: What is Communism?...Karl Marx and V.I. Lenin are widely known as the founders of Communism. However, not everyone who professes the ideology of Marx and Lenin is a true Communist. Lenin himself defined Communism as an international organization, akin to the Mafia, whose members would constitute an elite corps of professional revolutionaries.[40] As he described it in 1902, "In form such a strong revolutionary organization in an autocratic country may also be described as a 'conspiratorial' organization... such an organization must have the utmost secrecy."[41] Shortly after seizing control of Russia in 1917, Lenin revealed the secret of Communist success in a booklet, declaring that "The Bolsheviks could not have maintained themselves in power... unless the strictest, truly iron discipline prevailed in our Party."[42] Naive believers in Marxist ideology are constantly purged from the Party, for the organization can rely only on those people blindly willing to obey orders.[43] Communism explicitly disavows all moral rules, and its members must constantly shift tactics, sometimes even carry out seemingly anti-Marxist actions, as its leadership adapts the revolution to changing circumstances.[44] Thus Communists possess the fanatic discipline needed to carry out deception on a scale beyond the imagination of most outsiders, including staging their own alleged "collapse."

Something I wonder about regarding the NBP .... I must wonder if they are not a vehicle actually being used by a certain quasi-National Socialist element (which may include Putin) to foment extremism in general. It sort of reminds me of accounts I've read of the early days of the SA. Now a key difference is that unlike Hitler at the time, Putin is already in power. But no matter, the same sort of dynamic may arise. A radicalizing force can steer public opinion and plant ideas. Ideas have consequences.
