National Bolshevism is a political ideology that combines elements of Bolshevism, which is a form of Marxism, with nationalist sentiments. It emerged in Russia during the early 20th century, particularly after the Russian Revolution of 1917. Proponents advocate for a strong, centralized state that promotes both socialist economic policies and national identity. The movement has been associated with various groups and figures, including the National Bolshevik Party founded by Eduard Limonov in the 1990s. National Bolsheviks often emphasize anti-Western sentiment and seek to unite the working class with nationalist ideals, creating a unique blend of leftist and nationalist thought.
