      You’re siding with a regime that used neonazis to kill our comrades in front of it’s goverment buildings, forced our Russian comrades to move from blunt weapons to firearms just to survive on the streets, supports crypto-fascist regimes, and openly finances French, German, Austrian, US neonazis, but claim we side with fascist? Hilarious. Maybe it’s time you volunteer to ‘Rusich’, now officially a part of FSB?

      Belarusian and Ukrainian refugees make up 1/4 of my city and half of the radical movement here. Like many of our comrades I’ve been traveling the region for over 20 years. Been to Moscow, been to deep Caucasian Russia, been to Ukraine a few times including the very areas that are now a battlefield and shared roof and drinks with comrades from other countries, who were now martyred there.
      But still instead of hearing out someone who’s committed their life to struggle, you’re better educated based on something you’ve read on the internet. Nothing like a western colonial mindset over the experience of local, working people deciding to fight against oppression.

        used neonazis to kill our comrades in front of it’s goverment buildings

        Their killers are now serving lifetime sentences with no chance for parole. And how were punished killers of our comrades Vadim Papura and Andrei Brazhevsky? There wasn’t even proper investigation of their murder, and the regime which protects their killers is now actively supported by some shitheads pretending to be “antifa”.

        forced our Russian comrades to move from blunt weapons to firearms just to survive on the streets

        I remember those times very well as it was significant part of my early adulthood. The simple fact that some of those who fought for antifa at the time later decided to support the Nazi coup in 2014 does not change the simple truth that post-Maidan Ukraine is a neo-Nazi shithole, and these “antifa” (mostly, but not exclusively, from the Arsenal and MTZ-RIPO/Partizan fan bases) are nothing more than subcultural scum. Those of them who died fighting for this shit deserve no other honor than Darwin prize.

        Now get fucked along with your friends and your “struggle”.
