Russia: The End of Peaceful Protest

via raddle.me

Peaceful and "legal" protest in Russia has been suppressed. Moreover, it is now impossible in principle: in a matter of days, the state has adopted a package of laws which make even shouting "No to War!" illegal. And liberal human rights activists are already handing out instructions: don't shout and write "No to War!", while pro-government journalists are making Orwell spin in his coffin by seriously producing stories that the slogan "No to War" came from Nazi leaflets.

Anarchists and Religion and About the 'Telegram Riots' Conspiracy Uncovered by State Authorities

But we appeal to you, comrades, literally with a prayer. It doesn't matter whether it is a public appeal or a secret conspiracy. Observe anonymity measures and safety precautions: TOR, VPN, SIM cards purchased without a passport or with false data, no real information in your account, clearly separate telegram accounts for personal communication and political struggle. Principle: do not be afraid, but also do not substitute. And may the force be with us. For each of their blows, the answer is one: ORGANIZE , ORGANIZE , AGAIN Organize!

Don’t give up, don’t give out

hang in there, baby

Don’t give up, don’t give out. Tortures & confessions

Since 2017 our movement has faced the repressions of the scale and intensity previously unseen. The main “spice” of the situation is massive usage of tortures by FSB secret service. Before the cases of beatings and tortures of the anarchists in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus were mere separate exclusions. We’ve heard that Jihadists and Fascists are tortured brutally. Someone would also recall “Odessa case” against communists and anarchists. But one thing is “to know” abstractly and to experience on your own is something very different.

These are the points of mobilization that do not allow us to give up and just accept. That is why we are ready to make efforts, to take risks so that to create a new society. Organized revolutionary struggle is the path along which we will achieve the goal outlined in this text. Victory is possible, and therefore we must win.

Атрад Супраціву (The Resistance group) fired on Zavodskoy District Court in Minsk

We take responsibility for the attack on Zavodskoy District Court in Minsk, which we see as an occupying part of the government. We declare that, if mass repressions and forceful breaking up of demonstrations continues, our group will do everything we can so that not all of those helmed bastards with batons will live to see the trial. That's not a threat, that's a fact! We – among you, we know your addresses and positions, we have your photos. Stop now or the end of you will be dreadful and inglorious!

From AMW

Situation in Belarus: Anarchist Perspective Briefly

Finally, we face the outrage of Belarusian people in the streets. The increase of resistance is enormous. Many people say that such an uprising was never seen before during the rule of Alexander Lukashenko. These three nights, probably all the world has seen crowds of people giving fight to the police special forces, using barricades, burning tires and Molotovs.
