Limonka was founded by Eduard Limonov and it was first published in 1994. On July 26, 2002 it was banned by The Khamovnichesky Court of Moscow for "promoting extremism and calling on overthrowing the constitutional order".Лимонка №205. limonka.nbp-info.ru

Federal Agency on Press accused the newspaper of abuse of freedom of the press and violation of Article 4 of the Law "On Mass Media", pointing out that the publications in Limonka are aimed at inciting of social intolerance and discord and contain calls for the forcible seizure of power and propaganda of war.

Oleg Mironov, Ombudsman in Russia, in his report for 2002, substantiated the liquidation of the newspapers Limonka and Russian Host as "a series of steps to curb the propaganda of ethnic hatred".Report of the Ombudsman for Human Rights in the Russian Federation On the Activities of the Ombudsman for Human Rights in the Russian Federation Oleg Mironov in 2002 // Rossiyskaya Gazeta N 140, 15.07.2003; N 141, 16.07.2003; N 142, 17.07.2003; N 143, 18.07.2003; N 146, 23.07.2003; N 147, 24.07.2003; N 148, 25.07.2003; N 151, 30.07.2003; N 154, 05.08.2003; N 156, 07.08.2003

Since then, Limonka was printed under title General Line ({{langx|ru|Генеральная линия}}). After the ban of the newspaper General Line in 2006, Limonka was published as On the edge ({{langx|ru|На краю}}), and in 2007, as Trudodni ({{langx|ru|Трудодни}}). Issue 319 for July 2007 was published under the logo of Other Russia.

In all cases the title Limonka was printed in large letters under new titles (General Line, On the edge, Trudodni) in a smaller font, along with the note that the paper hasn't come out since September 20, 2002 (but retained continuous numbering of newspaper Limonka).

Starting from issue 327, the printed edition was discontinued in favor of digital distribution online in the form of PDF files.
