Anarchists choose sport.

On February 6, activists from Serpukhov city jogged to show support for a healthy lifestyle. By this action we want people to pay their attention to the issue of drug and alcohol addiction in Russia. This problem affects everyone regardless of his/her political beliefs, social status, nationality, sex, age and other signs. Our main goal is to cut the harmful influence that the youngsters get from commercials and to construct a popular social alternative - a healthy lifestyle.

This problem affects everyone – this aggressive propaganda affects your children, younger brothers and sisters. This propaganda aims to receive the highest profits for capitalists. Capitalistic system doesn’t matter whether its client is an adult or a teenager, a female or a male, of Russian or other nationality. That’s why we’ve decided to speak out on this issue as anticapitalists.

There are a lot of alcohol free or almost alcohol free sportsmen among anarchists and antifascists all over Russia. We hope you are the next to speak out.

Also by this action we would like to inform people, that anarchist and antifascist are not dirty words meaning asocial Russophobe and drug addict (as our opponents want to show). We are people who said NO to common governmentally imposed world view. Most of us represent Russian culture and we appeal to representatives of other cultures to have mutual respect to each other. That is the only way for a multicultural society to peacefully exist and go forward.
