FILE-RUSSIA-POLITICS-BOLSHEVIK

(FILES) A picture taken 29 November 2004 shows a member of the the ultra-left Nationalist Bolshevik Party (NBP) during the party’s congress in Moscow. The Russian Supreme Court, 15 November 2005, upheld a ban on the National Bolshevik Party, rejecting the radical group’s last legal appeal in Russia, the NBP leader said. Having started out in 1991 with a neo-Nazi ideology, the „NatsBols” now describe their aims as bringing about a revolution in Russia and restoring Russian power abroad. AFP PHOTO / DENIS SINYAKOV
