Анархическое движение

Анархисты — это люди, готовые на восстание против несправедливости и угнетения прямо здесь и сейчас. Да, здесь и сейчас, немедленно. Власть, государство, капитал, авторитет, репрессия — все это поджидает нас на каждом шагу (в офисе, дома, в метро, на улице), далеко ходить не надо. Но кто способен атаковать противника незамедлительно, спонтанно, решительно, не сходя с места? Только настоящие анархисты.
Анархисты — сторонники безотлагательного восстания. Они не верят в телеологическое время социалистов, но пребывают в абсолютном настоящем прямой индивидуальной атаки, не опосредованной никакой догмой или дисциплинарной организацией.
Политическая, этическая, социальная и философская задача заключается сейчас в том, чтобы освободить индивидуума от государства и типов индивидуации, которые государство продуцирует и навязывает человеку. Освободить индивидуума от ложных политик фиксированной идентичности (по полу, по профессии, по национальности, по менталитету), от прозябания в тени государственных институций и их идеологий. Анархисты — это те люди в современном обществе, кто всем своим сознанием и своей деятельностью принадлежат этому освобождению и участвуют в борьбе за него на своих местах.

Statement from Russian-speaking anarchists to Western anarchist initiatives: listen to the Ukrainian comrades!

Statement from Russian-speaking anarchists to Western anarchist initiatives: listen to the Ukrainian comrades! (image by Xadad)

This text is a collective statement of Russian-speaking anarchist collectives (see the list of signatories below). It should have been published even earlier, but now it’s really the time for a consolidated statement about the war in Ukraine. We do not claim to represent the stance of each and every anarchist from Russia, but the need for a clear position, and contradictions associated with the war in Ukraine lead to the necessity to act as a united movement.

Anarchist Black Cross Moscow launches a Telegram channel

Hi, this is Anarchist Black Cross Moscow. Our group has been helping imprisoned anarchists, anti-fascists and their allies since 2003. Now we are facing a level of repression against members and participants of the anarchist and anti-fascist movements unprecedented in Russia's recent history. We can oppose the repression they want to shut our mouths with by standing in solidarity with our imprisoned comrades and comrades-in-arms.

«Autonomous Action»: support and take part

2024 was not easy for anyone: wars around the world, right-wing governments coming to power, tightening repression and screws were on the agenda in various countries.

The «Autonomous Action» Media Group is a community of Russian-speaking anarchists located in Russia, forced to leave it temporarily or living in other countries. «The most important war for us» is the Ukrainian one. The future of Russia directly depends on its outcome.
