In early March 2010, 3rd issue of the international anarchist newspaper Bez Granits had been published. While the size and publishing schedule remained stable, the paper expanded its geographical coverage.

BEZ GRANITS #2 (January 2010)

On January 19, we opened a street-art exhibition on the outer wall of the State Museum of Political History (the former Kschenssinska mansion) in Saint Petersburg. The exhibition is dedicated to the memory of our friends the civil rights lawyer Stanislav Markelov and the journalist Anastasia Baburova.

16th November evening at around 9:00 p.m., 26-year-old Ivan Khutorskoi was shot and killed in the stairwell of his apartment building (Khabarovskaya, 2) in Moscow. While the greater public might not know his name, this is a truly enormous loss for many Russian antifascists and leftist activists. Ivan held leftist views and periodically participated in various social protest actions. First and foremost, however, he was known as one of the informal leaders of the Moscow antifascist movement. It is obvious to most of Ivan’s friends that Russian Nazis committed the murder.

This is no longer a metaphor. What which was awaited for, feared but not believed finally happened - the bulldozers of Gazprom assaulted the ruins of Nyenskans (XVII century) and Landskrona (1300) fortresses. They broke into one of the bastions, leaving a 50 square meters pit where an 1.6 meter ancient earthen wall stood. A hole large enough for an armored regiment to break in. A part of Landskrona moat was destroyed as well.

This is our first unrecoverable loss.

25th of May in the morning, police evicted squat "Pila" in Ligovsky prospect in St. Petersburg, which had existed for half a year. While police was breaking in, people managed to escape from windows with some valuables, and no-one was arrested. However many valuables were also stolen or destroyed by the cops, for example musical instruments of the squatters. 8 people were living in "Pila" and many activities were organised there. As most Russian squats, "Pila" was clandestine and its existence was not openly announced.

Special juvenal court will consider the criminal case about attack by Nazi-skinheads of the environmental protest camp near Angarsk town (in Eastern Siberia) which happened summer 2007. The anti-fascist from Nachodka (Far East) Ilya Borodaenko perished after being seriously injured. The court will consider 45 volumes of the criminal case on a charge of 20 young men, 11 of which were not 18 years old at the moment of attack.

8th of May 2009 Kuybyshevskiy district court sentenced Aleksey Bychin to 5 years in prison, according to statue 111 part 3 of the Russian criminal codex (conscious causing of grievous bodily harm to two or more persons).

About 1,000 people demonstrated against nuclear power generation in the north-western German city Münster on Saturday (25 April).

Located about 240 linear kilometres southwest of Hamburg, Münster is surrounded in close proximity by a nuclear waste dump at Ahaus, Germany’s only uranium enrichment plant at Gronau and another such plant at Almelo in neighbouring Holland (95 km northwest).
The demonstrators demanded that nuclear power production be stopped immediately.

Despite icy weather and light rain some 15,000 Germans demonstrated against nuclear power generation their Thursday evening with a chain of light 52 kilometres long.

The route linked Braunschweig, Wolfenbüttel and Salzgitter in the north, an area that contains two frighteningly failing underground nuclear waste dumps, Asse II and Morsleben, and another to start operating in 2013, Schacht Konrad in Salzgitter.

Germany's supreme court has handed down a ruling that nuclear opponents welcome as strengthening their rights.

The group that has resisted nuclear waste dumping at the north German village of Gorleben for 31 years says the ruling, confirming the right of residents along the waste transport routes to litigate against the transports, is a clear reprimand of lower courts.

The Lüchow-Dannenberg Civic Initiative for the Environment (BI) sees the ruling "strengthening the cause of the nuclear opponents".

On January 19, the famous Moscow lawyer Stanislav Markelov and Novaya Gazeta journalist and anarchist Anastasia Baburov were murdered in downtown Moscow. The murderer shot them with a pistol as they were leaving a press conference on the release of Colonel Yuri Budanov, who raped and murdered the Chechen girl Elza Kungayeva. Stas represented the family of the dead girl in this case. Stanislav defended the victims in such cases as the murders and kidnappings of civilians in Chechnya, and the murders of antifascists in Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

Our friend and comrade Skat was murdered today in Moscow, shot to head by an assassin.

On the 13th of December 2008, around 6 p.m., anarchists and members of DSPA (leftist group) organised an action near Greek consulate in St. Petersburg, Russia. The action was not permitted by the authorities so it was rather short and lasted for about 5 minutes. Activists distributed some leaflets to the people passing by and spoke about the Greek way of dealing with police oppression. Then they lit some torches and threw them at the consulate and police cars, chanting “Cops murder, the authorities cover it up”. The cops did not manage to arrest anyone.
