How about Ivashov? Granted, Eng. lang. translations like his most recent at http://fondsk.ru are somewhat problematical. Keep in mind Limonov's own use of the Eng. lang. There're others as well (personal foibles aside: Roy).

He must be in his 30s by now. Seriously, how is anybody "promoting" Limonov in the English-speaking world? He hasn't had a book translated that was written after around 1980 (Дневник неудачника being the last one I think). And he writes a lot of books. I have at least five. Pelevin has more exposure. Wait, upon reflection, John Dolan did translate part of A Young Scoundrel. OK, but that's part of one book published by an obscure university press.

Let's see the "navigator" away from a softball Moscow News like interview environment. Or the anti-Tiraspol Times posted gibberish that has no legitimacy whatsoever.

If so and regardless, there're others as well. Especially when compared to some (stress some) of the regulars. Like the fellow who absurdly portrayed Russia Profile as a slanted rubber stamp for the Russian government. Always? If so and regardless, there’re others as well.
