Does anybody know anything about these guys? Supposedly they're an independent Marxist-Leninist group in Russia. They seem like tankies, but I'm wondering if they're closer to the national bolshevik side of things than the anti-revisionist side of things?

Thier website is all in russian from what I can see, and the wiki page doesn't really have much, I looked on you tube and found some videos of thier protests, and an interview but they didn't dicuss their politics.

They are anti-revisionist, they used to be the youth movement allied to this party

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Communist_Workers_Party

which now merged into RKRP-RKP (which is now the biggest communist party besides the mainstream KPRF, although they do still endorse the KPRF's presidential ticket, not to disperse the communist vote)

Although ideologically they call themselves anti-revisionist. Their tactics resemble the european Black Block or ultraleft RAF type movements, portraying themselves as communist football hooligans. They seem to attract mostly angry depraved youth, but arent really nested in society. They do have strict internal dicipline though, and are pretty organized in the major cities. They now act as an independent communist youth movement, and broke with their motherparty because their tactics where to "passive". but still have close ties to the youth of the KPRF and the RKRP-RKP. They are also in the coalition for "another russia" led by Kasparov, which also houses the Nazbols, although they dont have any affiliation with the NBP.

I like a lot of things about them, but their affiliation with the looney wing of Russian politics (Kasparov's western-hyped movement, NBP, etc.) is not one of them.
