Who Were the Kronstadt Rebels?

Rounding out our retrospective on the 100-year anniversary of the Kronstadt rebellion, we present an analysis from Andrey Kalyonov, a Russian anarchist from St. Petersburg, who draws on materials not available in English.

Today marks 150 years since the Paris Commune began when soldiers refused to fire on women laborers, instead turning their guns on their commanding officers.

Read the story here, drawn from the memoirs of the anarchist Louise Michel:

#UnfinishedBusiness

Before May Day became a labor holiday, anarchists and other labor organizers rallied on March 18, the anniversary of the beginning of the Paris Commune.

For example, in 1877, Peter Kropotkin participated in a rally in Berne, fighting police with flagpoles and brass knuckles.

Kropotkin is remembered today for his work as a scientist and organizer, above all for popularizing the concept of mutual aid as a factor in evolution and social relations. Few recall that he was also the equivalent of a black bloc anarchist.

18 years ago, the US invaded Iraq in the name of putting an end to terrorism [securing oil reserves], leading to hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties and paving the way for the rise of the Islamic State.

They function like a protection racket: everything they do increases the dangers they pretend to be protecting us from.

Against all governments—against all wars.

In honor of the 100-year anniversary of the #Kronstadt rebellion this month, today anarchists renamed Lenin Park in Helsinki, christening it Kronstadt park.
