Today, July 21, anarchist Deniz Aydin celebrates his birthday. He turns 27 years old.
Deniz is an anarchist and anti-fascist from Tyumen. He played guitar in two bands: the hardcore group Siberian Brigade and the black metal project RASPUTIN. Shortly before his arrest, he enrolled in college to train as a locomotive driver. He planned to continue developing as a musician and dreamed of creating a support fund for political prisoners.
In August 2022, Deniz was detained together with Kirill Brik while testing a homemade firecracker in a vacant lot. Later, their comrades from Yekaterinburg and Surgut were also arrested. All of them were accused of participating in a terrorist organization in what has become known as the Tyumen Case. While in police custody, Deniz was beaten and tortured in an attempt to force a confession.
Despite everything, Deniz has not lost heart. While in pre-trial detention, he has been drawing, doing CrossFit, studying foreign languages, and writing poetry. He reads extensively across many genres, enjoys metal music, cinema, and art—and he also loves memes.
This is already the fourth birthday Deniz has spent behind bars under Putin's regime. You can support him by sending a letter, a postcard, or even a collection of memes.
