On Saturday, September 20, the Anarchist Bookfair will take place in London — one of the main annual events of the anarchist movement in England. As part of the program, Antti Rautiainen will give a talk titled “Anarchism and Anti-War Resistance in Russia.” Time: 11:00–12:45 Thousands of Russians continue to resist the invasion of Ukraine. In the first month of protests against the war, 15,000 people were detained. Small street actions are still taking place sporadically, though they face harsh repression. More than 300 people have been imprisoned for anti-war activity, including six anarchists and antifascists. What are the current anti-war initiatives in Russia? How can the Russian anti-war movement, operating under ever harsher repression, be supported? Why has the anti-war movement in Russia so far failed to change the course of the war? Who are today’s imprisoned anarchists and antifascists in Russia, and how can they be supported? Antti Rautiainen lived in Russia from 1999 to 2012, until he was deported on charges of “endangering the security of the Russian Federation.” In Russia, he took part in anarchist initiatives supporting prisoners, as well as other projects such as the Avtonom magazine. Venue in London: Stage (26 Leake Street) The next day, on Sunday, September 21, the same talk will take place at the Cowley Club Library http://cowley.club/ in Brighton (address: 12 London Road). Time: 12:30–14:30
