We are really sad to have to announce the death of our beloved friend and comrade Daniil Galkin, also known as Victor, Птица (Ptitsa).
Daniil, had a particularly hard life. He was only 15 years old when he lived in an extremely violent orphanage. He was into punk and participated both in the skin and punk scene of Moscow. He was tortured by the cops for his involvement in the anarchist scene, his political activities and convictions. This situation obliged him to leave his home-country Russia forever at the young age of 18. That was the beginning of a long odyssey which led him through Ukraine, Belarus, Poland and which came now to its tragic end in Belgium where he got political asylum for some years. After the Russian invasion in Ukraine in February 2022 he organized discussions/ solidarity activities to support his anarchists friends and comrades there. In his last years in Western Europe he was strongly missing Russia, his home, his language and culture which didn't stop him from having his good, loud laugh and a sarcastic and black but funny humor with which we will always remember him.
We are trying to raise the money to pay for the funeral house and to send his body or ashes (we're not sure yet) back to his home country and family. You can send some money to the following account:
BE22 6511 9672 9847
BIC/SWIFT: KEYTBEBB XXX
Name: Chome-Rolfs
Communication: Victor, Daniil or Птица
From tomorrow on it will be possible to visit his body at " Funérailles et Funérarium van Ees" in the Léon Théodore street 138, Jette. Since the body is in an advanced state of decomposition it will not be possible to see him. But he will be in a coffin with a foto of him. We still don't know how many days he will be exposed. We will keep you up to date for the ceremony of saying good bye.
Please share this with his friends and the people that knew him.
T-shirt in photo reads, "Electroshocks cannot kill ideas."
