During year 2008 and first half of the year 2009 we (together with other anarchist, anti-fascists and Social initiatives) have been involved with following projects:

1. We have been updating news section in website of ABC Moscow (http://avtonom.org/abc) with translations of news on repressions and political prisoners from Russian language to other languages and vice versa, we also maintained English language section of the website.

2. We have maintained prisoner listing in the website, and written to some prisoners abroad. We have also maintained contacts with other groups of Anarchist Black Cross in other countries and cities.

3. We published 3 brochures in Russian language - “Juridical and practical advice for activist encounters with the police”, “Computer security for libertarian activist” and “Guide for culture of activist security and counteractions against repressions”. We maintain section of Anarchist Black Cross in journal Avtonom.

4. We were searching for financing and people for finishing the causes, which were once taken up by lawyer Stanislav Markelov. Markelov was defending many anti-fascist and social activists, among them Chechens who suffered from actions of Russian army. Stanislav was murdered 19th of January 2009 while returning from press-conference related to one of his cases.

5. We spread information about the following famous (or less so) cases, and provided them material aid:

-Case of anti-fascist Aleksey Olesinov (since November 2008)

-Repressions against anti-fascists of Izhevsk (April-May 2009)
