Ukraine video dispatch: Anarchists Against Putin – International Anarchist Mobilization
World,
Freedom is pleased to present the next Ukraine video dispatch produced for us by film-maker and journalist Alexis Daloumis. Alexis spent last few weeks in Kiyv, and previously you may have heard of him due to his other production, Belkî Sibê: A Journey Through The Syrian War and Rojava Revolution. If you haven’t watched last week’s dispatch, it is here. (zb)
The main piece of my reportage in Poland and Ukraine is about the practical mobilisation of Anarchists, their support for and their participation in the resistance against the Putin Regime’s invasion.
This video takes place in Poland and it’s the first part of that main piece. It explores the response of the anarchist milieu to the war in Ukraine, across the country and internationally. How there was a unanimous opposition to Russian imperialism and how this state of emergency united the movement, despite previous division and conflict, towards a common goal.
The second part, coming soon, will take place in Ukraine.
The eighth biennial Anarchist Studies Network Conference is approaching and I thought it might be good to reflect on the way the conference is organised, both for the purposes of transparency and (hopefully) to get everyone excited about attending.
When I discovered the Freedom Press collection of Alex Comfort’s anarchist and anti-militarist writings, I’d already known him for 15 years as the author of The Joy of Sex.
For this year’s International Anarchist Prisoner Solidarity Week, Freedom interviewed the Anarchist Black Cross-Moscow to discuss their long history in Russia supporting imprisoned Russian anarchists, the challenges they face under Putin’s regime and their work during the war on Ukraine.
In our third article from Palestine solidarity campers, the the Student and Staff Encampment Coalition write about their two months at the Univerity of Birmingham campus. Other articles in this series: On the 11th of July, at 5am we were evicted from our encampment on the University of Birmingham (UoB) campus.
