The '''National Bolshevik Front''' ('''NBF'''; {{langx|ru|Национал-большевистский фронт; НБФ|Natsional-bolshevistskiy front, NBF}}) was a Russian [[political party]] with a political program of [[National Bolshevism]]. The party was founded in 2006 by supporters of [[Aleksandr Dugin]] following a split within [[Eduard Limonov]]'s [[National Bolshevik Party]]. The NBF is affiliated with Dugin's [[Eurasian Youth Union]].

The "National Bolshevik Front" name had previously been used for multiple strands of National Bolshevism. The name was initially used by the Russian National Bolshevik Party when the party was founded by Eduard Limonov and Aleksandr Dugin in 1993. The group soon changed its name as it emerged as a [[political party]]. Although abandoned by the Russian party, the National Bolshevik Front name was still used by a loose federation of [[Europe]]an National Bolshevik organisations. The name was also used by National Bolshevik parties in [[Venezuela]] and [[Bolivia]].{{Citation needed|date=May 2019}}

== History and ideology==
In August 2006, the "National Bolshevik Front" name was taken by Alexei Golubovich for a new anti-Limonovist splinter group from the NBP that he led. This new group has links with former NBP member [[Aleksandr Dugin]] and closely cooperates with the [[Eurasian Youth Union]], a group of young supporters of Dugin's [[Eurasianists#Eurasianism as ideology|neo-Eurasianism]].<ref>Galina Kozhevnikova, Alexander Verkhovsky (20 June 2007).

The NBF's founders split from the NBP as they disagreed with what they perceived to be Limonov's policies of forging political alliances with pro-[[History of liberalism|Western liberals]] and [[Business oligarch|oligarchs]] in order to overthrow [[Vladimir Putin]]'s government. The NBF considered this policy to be a betrayal of the original National Bolshevik fight against [[Liberal democracy|Western style democracy]] and [[capitalism]]. In the NBF's view, the NBP is no longer a National Bolshevik party, but rather the radical-looking wing of a wider revolutionary front supported by the enemies of Russian sovereignty.

The new NBF perceives exiled oligarchs like [[Boris Berezovsky (businessman)|Boris Berezovsky]] and [[Vladimir Gusinsky]] and liberal-democratic pro-[[Western world|Western]] and pro-[[Market (economics)|market]] political forces (such as the [[Union of Right Forces]], [[Yabloko]], [[Democratic Union (Russia)|Democratic Union]] and [[Garry Kasparov]]'s supporters) as Russia's internal enemies, the external ones being perceived as [[NATO]], [[American imperialism]] and the [[New world order (politics)|new world order]]. NBF ideology is deeply rooted in the Russian and German National Bolshevik traditions ([[Ernst Niekisch]], [[Nikolay Vasilyevich Ustryalov|Nikolay Ustryalov]], the [[Smenovekhovtsy|Smenavekhite]]s and the [[Mladorossi]] movement) and they reject [[Liberalism|political]] and [[economic liberalism]] as well as claiming to reject [[Ethnocentrism|ethnocentric]] and [[Chauvinism|chauvinist]] [[nationalism]].
