Repression against anarchists and anti-fascists in Russia - presentation in Baltic Anarchist Bookfair 2026

I will give a presentation about repression against anarchists and anti-fascists in Russia at the Baltic Anarchist Bookfair in Tartu next Saturday at 1 PM EET/Moscow time (12 PM CET) at Hell (Tiigi 76A).

You can also follow the presentation on Twitch.

Short summary fo the talk: 

After Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, more and more anarchists and anti-fascists have ended up in prison for resisting the war and the regime in Russia. Who are the anarchists and anti-fascists imprisoned for anti-war and other political activities? What initiatives exist to support them, and what can ordinary people do? Are social movements in Russia still possible despite increasing repression?

Antti Rautiainen lived in Moscow from 1999 to 2012 and participated in anti-fascist and anarchist movements until he was deported. Since his deportation, he has remained active in supporting anarchist prisoners in Russia.
