On May 23, anarchist Ruslan Sidiki was sentenced to a record-breaking 29 years in prison. He received this sentence for two acts of sabotage against military infrastructure: blowing up a railway track and carrying out a drone attack on an airfield. Ruslan explained his actions as an attempt to hinder attacks on Ukraine.
On 11 March 2022, at around 5am, Alexey Rozhkov left his house in the city of Beryozovsky in the Urals. He took three bottles of beer that he had made into Molotov cocktails, and went to the local military recruitment office.

From Cop City to the Dakota pipelines and Jane’s Revenge to numerous struggles worldwide, anarchist organizers are relentlessly targeted by the state today as they have been for over a century. Shadows in the Struggle for Equality is the firsthand account of Boris Yelensky, an activist of the Anarchist Red Cross (later the Anarchist Black Cross), during the Russian revolutionary movement from 1905 through 1917, and the subsequent Leninist/Stalinist repression.

This was revealed during session at the 2nd Western District Military Court in Moscow 9th of April, where Ruslan’s pre-trial detention was extended for another six months.The court also announced the date of the first substantive hearing — it will take place on April 15 at 11:00 AM, in the same court.
A Russian and Italian citizen, an electrician from [the Russian city of] Ryazan, an industrial tourist, a bike traveller, an anarchist and a partisan – all this can be said about 36-year-old Ruslan Siddiqi. In the summer of 2023, he dispatched four drones with explosives to attack the Diaghilev military airfield near Ryazan, and in the autumn, he decided to act “from the ground” – damaging railway lines with two bombs and derailing 19 freight train wagons. Siddiqi is currently awaiting trial in a Moscow pre-trial detention centre, with the prospect of a life sentence hanging over him.
