Limonka (Russian: Лимонка) is a Moscow-based newspaper. Limonka is the official organ of the National Bolshevik Party. Limonka was founded by Eduard Limonov and it was first published in 1994. The name is a play of words on Limonov and is idiomatic Russian for grenade. It was forced to change its name to General Line after the authorities banned it for "promoting extremism and calling on overthrowing the constitutional order".[1] Since then, Limonka was printed in large letters under General Line in a smaller font, along with the note that the paper hasn't come out since September 20, 2002.
