16th of September is exactly 2 months since 22-years old anti-fascist
was arrested in St.-Petersburg. He is charged with intended infliction
of serious bodily harm (article 111, point 1 of Russian criminal
code). On the 18th of July the court decided to keep him in jail
before the trial.

The night 12-12 June Alexej was walking the city streets with friends.
His friend and he was a bit behind the whole group when they faced two

In Sunday, on 7 October, in Russian embassy in Minsk passed the action of solidarity with the Russian antifascists.

More than 50 people participated in the action. Participants honored the memory of four victims, killed in recent years in Russia by the hands of neo-Fascists. So was extended banner “No to fascism!”.

Four participants were detained by police during this action. Now they are located in central ROVD Minsk.

Spontaneous meetings around the city are happening right now.

By this action we wanted to state that we cannot quietly look as in adjacent Russia with the taciturn connivance of authorities, extremist neo-Nazi groups act openly. None of them was stopped at the preparation stage for their terrible crimes. How much more people must die before the authorities of the Russian Federation will focus attention on the actions of neo-Nazi groupings?

Yesterday, 8th of June, in last day of the G8 summit in Germany, Moscow anarchists organised an action in German
embassy of Moscow in Leninski prospekt. 4 PM 30 activists showed up in embassy, and blocked entrance. Some of them
made a "star" with metal tubes, making their removal more difficult.

Action was directed against illegitimate structure of G8, as well as against repressions against protesters in Germany. People who joined action in Moscow wanted to remind, that those who support world without borders will not stay underground, and will always interfere anti-humane politics of those in power.

In summer of 2006, during summit of the G8, Russian president Vladimir Putin promised that Russia will join to international program to spread nuclear energy. Russia's role in this project is to be a storage of nuclear waste.

Electro-Chemical Industrial Complex of Angarsk (AEHK) was founded 1954, it is located in South-Eastern border of the city of Angarsk, 30 kilometers from Irkutsk and 90 kilometers from lake Baikal. It is a company involved in
nuclear fuel cycle, processing concentrate including Uranium to Uranium hexafluoride (UF6), which in turn is enriched to Uranium-235 for the Nuclear Industry. Complex is under administration of Rosatom, Russian Federal Agency

Anarchists in London showed their support for anti-G8 protesters in Russia, where any attempt to challenge the dominant voices of the world's leaders is being brutally suppressed.

They targeted the Russo-British Chamber if Commerce near London Bridge, entering the offices and unfurling banners that could be widely seen by in the busy street below. Whilst several of the group discussed the reasons for the protest with those in the Chamber of Commerce, others handed out leaflets to members of the public who demonstrated their support and sympathy with the protesters. The Chamber of Commerce is the main link between Russian and British corporations, whose interests are being promoted at the G8 summit at the expense of the majority of the Russian and British people.
