A friend of mine sent me this the other day:
The Russian poet in question is Edward Limonov. He's the head of some Stalinist Russian cult-like political party and a columnist for english language russian weekly the eXile. A journalist I once met at a bar in Prague called him a "beatnik fascist" and the more I think about it, the more right that guy seems.
Limonov was jailed a couple years ago on weapons charges. He's kind of an evil dude, but I really like him a lot. His eXile column, which he writes in really charming broken English, is consistently hilarious. And he's like a low rent James Bond villain. What's not to like?
