I remember discovering Limonov via the exile/exiled online. Read the three books of his I found in English, and the Emmanuel Carrère book about Limonov as well.
John Dolan wrote a “Note from the Translator” for The Young Scoundrel (Molodoy Niigodyay):
I read Sankya by Zakhar Prilepin recently. Not bad. Roman a clef based on the author's experiences in the National Bolshevik Party. He makes a composite character out of Limonov and Dugin. Apparently Srebrennikov adapted it into a play. Alexei Navalny contributed the preface to the English translation.
Serebrennikov is in Paris all the time, he just did Hamlet here and his Bolshoi version of Nureyev in Germany (I sort of speed-watched the latter on ARTE). The adjective you were grasping for might be "over the top". Or just super-gay - one reason for his problems at home, and also why many Western liberals have adopted him.
Yuri Dud did a long interview w/him, in which he prised out tha fact that, so Serebrennikov could leave Russia, the ₽ he "took" from the Gogol Centre were all
paid back by Roman Abramovich (I think it was him; it was certainly one of the bigger oligarchs.)
