Limonov Set Free, Vows to Fight On.
(From The Moscow Times)
Eduard Limonov, a writer and head of the radical National Bolshevik Party, walked free Monday after serving almost 25 months of a four-year sentence on an arms conviction -- and immediately headed for the Volga River for a dip.
Four hours after his 9:20 a.m. release from the Engels correction colony -- and after the swim -- Limonov called a news conference in nearby Saratov to announce he will put writing on the backburner to focus on politics.
"I have not been corrected, and I have not abandoned my political beliefs," said Limonov, 60.
"I will devote myself only to politics, trying to change the system altogether and uproot the traditional Russian servility," he said, promising "to continue fighting by all legal means."
He said he did not plan to run for public office but that his National Bolshevik Party should consider joining forces with a like-minded party to seek seats in the State Duma in December elections, local news agencies reported.
Limonov, a cult figure for thousands of teenagers, was released early on parole for good behavior after serving half of his sentence. A Saratov court in April convicted him of ordering National Bolshevik members to buy weapons, while clearing him of more serious charges
