Ukraine

"Here, we have hurriedly translated two statements from Russian anarchist groups. Both, of necessity, are underground groups: one is based in Siberia, and the other is the Anarcho-Communist Combat Organization, which we interviewed last year."

This is not a post to debate and discuss the relative merits of the Anarchist and Anti-Authoritarians who chose to defend Ukraine from the Russian Invasion. We're not here to get lost in sophistry, rhetoric, or politic. We're here to remember the fallen.

It is with pain in our hearts that we wish to inform you of a terrible tragedy. On April 19, 2023, our comrade and friend, the Russian anarchist Dmitry Petrov, better known to you as Ilya "Leshy", died in the battle for the crucial road to Bakhmut.

After being taken prisoner on 24 June, Maksym Butkevych was kept in the Luhansk remand centre the entire time. Other than a brief call with his parents, there was no communication with Butkevych, and independent Russian lawyer Leonid Solovyov was not allowed to see him.

We need to persevere on the side of ordinary people who are resisting the Z-fascist occupiers in Ukraine. At the same time, it is also necessary to stand up to Putin's fifth column and to refuse all kinds of sympathy for aggression, totalitarianism and genocide.

This is a collection of articles written by Anarchists in response to the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation. It is a living document and is currently in it's early format as a dumping group for links.

“National glory” and “state interests” have always been bought with the blood of common people who share no interests with the rulers that demand their sacrifice.

We stand firmly with our Russian and Ukrainian friends against the tyranny at their door. We stand against the dictator, his lackeys and enablers.

"...our position remains that of revolutionary defeatism, solidarity, fraternisation and rebellion against the High Command of each State."
