Russia’s Supreme Court overturned a lower court decision banning the National Bolshevik Party, handing a rare victory to the radical youth organization known for flamboyant acts of political protest.

Party leader Eduard Limonov said the judges did not immediately provide an explanation for their decision.

A spokeswoman for the prosecutor general’s office said it would appeal. Prosecutors had argued that the group violated registration procedures and was involved in extremist activities.
