Anti-war resistance in Russia and anarchists

From avtonom

Thousands of Russians have been fighting against the invasion to Ukraine. During first month of protests against the war, 15 000 people were detained. Small street actions are still sporadically taking place, although they are heavily persecuted. More than 300 people have been imprisoned for anti-war activities, including six anarchists and antifascists. What are the current anti-war initiatives in Russia to follow? How to support Russian anti-war movement, which is operating in more and more repressive circumstances? Why Russian anti-war movement has this far failed to change the course of war? Who are the current anarchist and anti-fascists prisoners in Russia, and how to support them?

The United States Department of State has decided to designate four European groups associated with the Antifa movement as “Foreign Terrorist Organizations” (FTOs) and “Specially Designated Global Terrorists” (SDGTs)—a move that marks a new escalation in the specific designations to have been applied to cells internationally linked to the anarchist and antifascist movement.

Challenges of Police Investigations Into Anarchist Direct Actions

Let's say a few anarchists are planning an illegal, anonymous direct action. [...] The goals of the police are to prevent actions like this from taking place and/or identify and arrest the anarchists and gather enough evidence for them to be convicted.

Germany: For More Attacks and Hate Against Every State (Poster)

From Indymedia NL

In February 2025, the public prosecutor of Munich again carried out a repressive operation against anarchists, this time in the form of raids and arrests. The Bavarian police state, embarrassed by anarchist publications and anonymous attacks, invents accusations and looks for suspicious individuals to blame. The anarchist agitation of recent years has developed a subversive reach that is difficult to assess but certainly is uncontrollable. Anarchist ideas spread on paper and put into practice can prove to be a dangerous mixture contributing to the spread of social revolt.

Weaponised Hate - The Hungarian State

From Organise!

The fascist government in Hungary has been ruling with two thirds majority in parliament since 2010, and with emergency powers since the COVID-19 pandemic began. They have full legal power to do anything they want to without cooperating with the arguably non-existent opposition, and have taken full advantage of this for their own ends.
