Meanwhile, while Twitter is banned in Russia, the official Russian state Twitter account in Vienna is complaining about a "barbaric" action at the Russian embassy in Vienna. Apparently a motorcyclist put a bit of paint on the gates of the embassy, presumably symbolizing the blood of the thousands of Ukrainian civilians that have been murdered since the beginning of the Russian invasion.

Between 3000 and 5000 people gathered today for an anti-war rally in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Putin sent Russian troops to Kazakhstan to suppress an uprising in January.

Signs read "Putin, we do not need to be saved," "Kazakhstan is next?" and "Power kills."

War in Ukraine: Ten Lessons from Syria

https://cwc.im/FromSyriaToUkraine

Drawing on their experiences in the Syrian Revolution, Syrian exiles and their comrades discuss (anti-)imperialism, international solidarity, and understanding the nuances of complex and contradictory struggles.

***

In March 2011, protests broke out in Syria against the dictator Bashar al-Assad. Assad turned the full power of the military against the ensuing revolutionary movement; yet for some time, it appeared possible that it might topple his government. Then Vladimir Putin stepped in, enabling Assad to stay in power at a tremendous cost in human lives and securing a foothold for Russian power in the region. In this text, a collective of Syrian exiles and their comrades think through how their experiences in the Syrian Revolution can inform efforts to support the resistance to the invasion in Ukraine and the anti-war movement in Russia.

Happy #InternationalWomensDay. 🏴

"The world needs protection from the defenders of the fatherland."

One of the many terrible things about war is how it curtails our imaginations about *who* makes social change—and what tools are most useful for it.

It concludes with "10 Lessons from Syria," a perspective from Syrian refugees who participated in the Syrian Revolution but were forced to flee when Putin supported Assad in brutally regaining control.

Support Russian anarchists against the war!

A hasty translation of a statement from Russian feminists whose homes were raided by riot police on March 5. The Russian government is terrorizing them for helping to organize anti-war actions around the country.

Stand with Russians against the invasion.

In Cologne, London, and Biarritz, activists have occupied empty properties belonging to the Russian government and Russian capitalists, seeking to provide housing for refugees and push back against the invasion.

Don't rely on governments to stop the war! Direct action gets the goods!

The Syrian Cantina: Organizing in Exile

https://cwc.im/SyrianCantina

As millions are driven into exile from #Afghanistan to #Ukraine, this interview explores how refugees can continue their political organizing in new lands and contexts, how locals can assist them, and the meaning of international solidarity.

This Thursday, at 7 pm Berlin time, we will co-host a video presentation with comrades from Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia about how people are experiencing and resisting the invasion in each of those countries and what solidarity could look like elsewhere around the world.

More information and the link for the livestream will appear here:
