A series of (uncomfortable) conversations with anarchists across Europe, Ukraine, Belarus and Russia about the solidarity of resistance against occupation
A few days ago, one of my comrades sent me a relatively old text (https://t.me/stupidisthenewcool/1001) criticizing the statement by Russian anarchists on the war in Ukraine and the exclusion of Belarusian and Ukrainian comrades from public events in the “West”[1]. Most of the text is a perfectly adequate critique of the statement, but one thing struck me and made me sit down to write this text.
From History is What's Happening by K. C. Sinclair, June 15, 2026
Sholem Schwarzbard, Simón Radowitzky, and Nestor Makhno were three of the most infamous anarchists to ever come out of Ukraine. What do their lives, which were lived in a different historical period and under distinct conditions from our own, have to tell us about the Russia-Ukraine war of the past couple of decades, and what does their struggle as anarchists have to tell us about the relationship between militarism and fascism?

In June, a series of presentations and discussions will take place across France focusing on imprisoned anarchists and anti-fascists in Russia, anti-war resistance, and solidarity with Ukrainian society.
Olexander “Vampire” — an anti-fascist, a fighter and a comrade — has been killed at the frontline. This is a painful loss for his friends, comrades, and everyone who knew him or crossed paths with him in the shared struggle. Below, we share a few memories of the kind of person he was, his life’s journey and how he will be remembered.

Ignacio de Llorens is a historian and philosopher. We met with him to discuss his newly published book, a compilation of research conducted intermittently over several decades: Life Will Shine on the Cliff: Volin (V. M. Eichenbaum) published in Spanish by KRK editions. It is the first biography of this Russian anarchist, whose life is as fascinating as it is unknown.

Yesterday, sister Sati passed away. She died almost instantly - before my eyes. I'm sorry that I personally couldn't do anything for you. It was an extremely difficult situation - a UAV explosion, two critically injured people, and the understanding that you need to help someone who still has a chance... Ten minutes before your death, you gave me a tangerine. We ate it for two, and I called you a wonderful girl - because that's what you were. Thank you for everything.

Thousands of Russians have been fighting against the invasion to Ukraine. During first month of protests against the war, 15 000 people were detained. Small street actions are still sporadically taking place, although they are heavily persecuted. More than 300 people have been imprisoned for anti-war activities, including six anarchists and antifascists. What are the current anti-war initiatives in Russia to follow? How to support Russian anti-war movement, which is operating in more and more repressive circumstances? Why Russian anti-war movement has this far failed to change the course of war? Who are the current anarchist and anti-fascists prisoners in Russia, and how to support them?
