From Anarchist Black Cross Belarus

When ideology gets in the way of solidarity

From Anarchist Black Cross Belarus

In the 15 years of our collective’s existence, we have gone through several major political crises. During elections, protests, and political repression, the Belarusan anarchist movement has not met with isolation from its comrades.
