Dear friends,
Once again we are doing mailout abroad much late, 4 months after printing, but we won't say we are sorry because we have been very busy with other things... if you want our rag sooner next time, drop us a note and we will see what we may do. Actually we would be happy for any feedback, much of you folks have stopped sending us your papers so if we do not hear anything, soon you won't see the most shining xUSSR anarcho-journal anymore!
Yes we are still journal of Autonomous Action, which has local groups in 15 cities of Belarus and Russia.
And we are still interested to expand our mailing list - if you know people who would be interested to read our materials, please contact them for us! Currently German correspondence is done by Nizhniy Novgorod section, Italian and Spanish by our members in Tyumen and all other languages in Moscow - please send press with respective languages to cities dealing with respective correspondence. In another hand, mailing out is so expensive that we would like to post our papers only to people who understand what is written in them.
Addresses are the following:
