The former Kharkovian, flagrant writer Eduard Limonov, announced to be a person non grata, allegedly may come back to the native land. During his Kharkiv visit, the President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko promised to hunt down this question.
“I must examine this question”, Viktor Yushchenko announced to Kharkiv journalists, answering the question if the new authority reverse its attitude to the disgraced writer. The President promised to find out if there’s any official decision about Eduard Limonov.
As we remind, no long ago the leader of Russian national-bolshevics writer Eduard Limonov couldn’t get to Kharkiv to see his parents. The frontier guards took him in border outpost “Goptovka”. By order of the Security Service of Ukraine Kharkovian Eduard Limonov announced to be a person non grata, and on the territory of Ukraine he is out of law.
In April 2003 Saratov court sentenced writer Eduard Limonov to four years of imprisonment. He was accused in attempt to subvert Russian government and in illegal purchase of weapon. In June 2003 Engels town court in Saratov region decided to parole Limonov. The writer was released so that in the minimum-security facility he spent more than half of his sentence and had no penalties. Besides this, the court took into account his good conduct certificates and the intercession to release him signed by Deputies Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Alexey Mitrofanov, Vasiliy Shandybin and others. This intercession was also advocated by Limonov’s publishers – directors of publishing houses “Ad Marginem” Alexandr Ivanov and “UltraCulture” Ilya Kormiltsev.
