The employees of the Cordemais power station have launched a protracted strike to defend 
the project to convert the coal-fired power plant into a biomass power station. ---- The 
French State has announced the closure by 2022 of the last four coal plants. Cordemais and 
its two 600-megawatt units near Nantes are among them. The site employs 400 employees and 
generates 800 indirect jobs. For several years, the union CGT de Cordemais, majority, 
defends in alternative to the closure a project of reconversion into a biomass plant. ---- 
Under trade union pressure, EDF launched an experiment, called Ecocombust, to produce 
pellets made from local wood waste, which are usually dumped. "  Three test campaigns were 
successfully conducted  , " says Gwenaël Plagne, CGT representative. "  No one here is 
climate-skeptical," says Damien Mouille , CFE Energy delegate. We are all aware that we 
can not continue to function as we did. But we firmly believes in this project  " . [1]The 
tests were carried out with 80  % biomass and 20% % of coal. An experiment proving that 
the Ecocombust technology is efficient without coal must be conducted during the first 
quarter of 2019.

Yet Macron said on November 27, 2018 that the closure of the last French coal plants, 
including that of Cordemais, would be effective within four years. On December 11 at the 
call of the inter-union CGT-CGE Energy-FO was launched an extendible strike and the two 
coal slices were stopped: "  The time to obtain a future at the site  " . Employees intend 
to multiply the actions. On December 17, they and they " paralyzed train traffic and road 
traffic at the Cordemais level crossing (...). This action took place as part of the 
renewed strike started last Tuesday, December 11, which follows the event in Paris on 
Thursday 13 with a reception by the directors of Cabinet in which we had a plea of 
inadmissibility to our claims  " [2]

This group is a third one anarchist formation, officially stated its existence in Rojava. 
Two others are also exist: RUIS and IPRGF. ---- Here is the statement of the "Anarchist 
struggle": ---- "Today, we, a militant anarchist collective, announce our presence in 
Rojava and our participation in the newly reformulated International Freedom Battalion. 
Tekosîna Anarsîst (Anarchist Struggle) was formed in Rojava in the Autumn of 2017. But we 
chose not to be outward facing due to strategical and security reasons. With the looming 
threat of Turkish invasion, in response we now believe it is important to become public 
and announce our existence here. As committed anarchist internationalists we view the 
struggle here as an important fight for women's liberation and peoples' self-determination.

Since our inception we have been consistently active in the defense of Rojava. We first 
participated in the defense of Afrin where one of our members, Sevger Makhno fell sehid by 
Turkish air-strike. After Afrin was lost to the invaders, we have been engaging in the 
final fight against Daesh on the Deir ez-Zor front. As the Turkish state and their 
Islamist proxies continue to amass troops on the border, we have also begun to focus on 
preparing for a potential invasion.

While many anarchists do choose to integrate into YPG, YPJ and other existing military 
units, our strategy is somewhat different. We believe that maintaining a distinctly 
anti-state libertarian position with a physical base of operation allows us to engage with 
the movement here while also furthering the anarchist tendency. We see the IFB as a much 
needed international revolutionary formation for the impending fight against Turkey. 
Participation in this tabur allows us to engage in the peoples' self-defense while still 
retaining our autonomy as Anarchists.

The impending Turkish invasion is an existential threat to the Kurds as well as other 
ethnic groups in the region such as Assyrians, Armenians and Yezidis. The Turkish state 
wishes to extend their ethno-nationalist project by expelling indigenous people from their 
lands and replacing them with non-native populations as they have done in Afrin; 
exterminating ethnic minorities, erasing indigenous identities and banning indigenous 
languages, is the very foundation upon which the Turkish state was built. We will not 
stand idly by while Turkey attempts to carry out its genocidal project. As in Afrin, we 
are once again fully prepared to stand in direct solidarity with the people of Rojava, 
fighting side by side until victory or death.

We call upon comrades from all continents to show solidarity with the people of Rojava. We 
call for unity against fascism and the neo-colonial project of the Turkish state.

Death to fascism!

Death to all those who stand in the way of freedom!

Long live the peoples' resistance!

Long live revolutionary internationalism!"

Anarcho-Syndicalists have established locals (orgs/groups). Comrades and friends need to 
link up with these established locals' members. ---- In those areas where there are no 
locals, comrades and friends should still remain active. ----  All comrades and supporters 
who are geographically disconnected from Bangladesh ASF's locals should look to the 
following guidelines for guidance. ----  If you choose to build the free society, you 
inherit the privilege to do all that you can to advance the struggle, even if you are 
alone. This is an important aspect of autonomy and self-rule. ----  There is much good 
that can be done by comrades who are currently far from the locals:
#1. Educate yourself. Because remote comrades will not have the same resources as those 
connected to locals, you will have to educate yourself. You will have to become 
self-reliant. You should begin studying articles in our anarchist booklets. These articles 
represent the general lines of anarchism. If you feel you have mastered this material, you 
should move onto more complex materials in the anarchist archive and on the website 
www.bangladeshasf.org. You should keep up-to-date with our FB pages and groups. Stay 
abreast of current news, including global events. You should remember that there is nobody 
to measure your progress and that the burden falls on you to keep yourself focused.

  #2. Increase your skills. You should acquire skills that will aid our movement. If you 
attend college or a university, pick areas of study that will complement our movement. You 
should also acquire self-defense, martial arts, weapons training, and safety, such as: 
first aid, medical skills, and engineering. Work on your writing and public speaking 
skills. Learn skills associated with activism if you plan to be an anarchist activist in 
the future.

  #3. Build your local. If there is an opportunity in your area to train and organize with 
others into a group that becomes a functioning local, then by all means try to. Once you 
have organized a few people into a functioning group or local, contact the BASF's national 
committee for further guidelines on how to best carry out anarchist work in your area.

#4. Build local networks. Expand your knowledge of your community, especially those areas 
of the community that could be useful to the movement. Create connections with 
personalities who are respected or listened to in their communities. Build relationships 
with potential recruits. Prove your committed character to those who could aid or join the 
Anarcho-Syndicalist movement. Create a good image of yourself before others.

#5. Help to agitate and create propaganda. Remote comrades may submit articles to the 
bangladeshasf.org website by emailing basfsylhet@gmail.com . If we feel your writings are 
beneficial to the movement, we will publish them after making necessary edits. We will 
work with you to help you improve your writing skills. We have expert editors. You can 
also make art for the movement, which can be sent to the same address.

  #6. Organize online. Remote comrades can promote anarcho-syndicalist ideas and the BASF 
online on forums and social media sites by posting articles, defending 
anarcho-syndicalism, debating, etc. However, be careful. There are many types of enemies 
online who will try to entrap you, such as deceits, loathsome people, and subversives. Do 
not allow these people to harm you. Be safe. Develop a reasonable online security practice.

  #7. Fundraising. Fundraising's value should not be underestimated. It is a key part of 
our work and should be a key part of every comrade's work. Without funds, what we can 
accomplish is extremely limited. With funds, we can significantly expand our work. All 
comrades and friends should seek stability and good jobs. Those who are committed should 
donate regularly. And comrades who live in the rich or imperialist countries have a 
particular duty to generate funds for the movement here.

  #8. Relocate. If you become frustrated working alone, then you should consider 
relocating to an area where an anarchist local or federation is active. If you are serious 
about moving, then contact us through basfsylhet@gmail.com. We will help you as much as 
possible.

  Our movement is stronger than ever. We are on course through the distinguished vehicle 
of Anarcho-Syndicalism.

  We are moving forward, and we need you to step forward to do your part, even if you are 
not fully connected with us yet.

  Your participation will help Bangladesh ASF's continued development as a powerful and 
well-organized federation capable of ultimate victory.
We will win by being decisive, forceful, and not letting anything stop us.

  Self-Discipline. Voluntary Loyalty. Free Will.  Self-Organization. Free Federation.
We dedicate our resources, our talents, our lives to humanity and Mother Earth's liberation.

We must defeat capitalism and statism, ridding them from the face of the earth.

Let us move toward the complete triumph of Libertarian Communism.
Follow the Light of Anarchism. Be an Anarchist who inspires.
Our sun is rising. Our day is coming.

New protests took place this week pushing the government on its promises to halt a boom in 
environmentally-damaging projects across the region. ---- The region's extensive network 
of waterways have been eyed for years as having hydroelectric potential, which originally 
led to plans for nearly 3,000 plants, around a third in environmentally-protected areas. 
---- Critics have warned that the wholesale exploitation of rivers would damage both 
natural habitats and drinking water supplies, as well as impacting on other local 
industries. ---- In November campaigners thought won a major victory when the government 
started drafting a new law blocking new plants in protected areas, slated for its first 
hearing in parliament this month. ---- NGOs are arguing that such bans should cover up to 
three-quarters of all rivers in the region.

But concerns remain about the level of corporate pressure for new dams to happen and the 
extent to which any protections will be realistically applied, especially as projects 
continue to be pushed elsewhere in the Balkans.

In Serbia itself, a recent visit by Russian President Vladimir Putin has inked a deal on 
hydroelectric expansion while on January 24th neighbouring Bosnia's autonomous Serb 
Republic announced another two plants to be built by State-controlled body ERS.

And just last week there were protests in Strpce, south Kosovo as excavation started for a 
mini-hydropower plant. Energy firm Matkos Group has five planned projects in the area 
including the Obe Reke plant and has refused to publicly produce its permissions. Local 
police were nevertheless sent out to clear the protesters.

Ugly Bourgeois Culture ---- The entrenchment of capitalist hegemony throughout the world 
has led to the development of a reactionary and degenerate culture based on hedonism and 
glorification of everything disgusting about humanity. The proliferation of Bourgeois 
culture holds back revolution as it degrades the ability of the working class to wage 
struggle. Bourgeois culture creates the conditions required for the existence of Bourgeois 
class alliances with privileged and comprador elements of the working class. Bourgeois 
culture provides the necessary social and psychological patterns for the capitalist class 
to maintain its dominance over the working class. ---- As imperialism has installed its 
servant puppet regimes around the proletarian world, so has it spread Bourgeois culture. 
At the heart of Bourgeois culture are the media and entertainment corporations that 
effectively dumb down the masses and influence their thoughts and behaviors for the 
benefit of capitalism and imperialism . Bourgeois propaganda produced in the Bourgeois 
countries is marketed not only to the masses in those countries but also to the masses in 
the proletarian exploited countries, thus facilitating the spread of Bourgeois ideas and 
values to the proletarian masses.

Bourgeois culture glorifies violence to a very high degree, with gratuitous scenes of 
brutality and murder continuously pouring out of corporate entertainment propaganda. This 
depravity reflects the mindset at the heart of capitalism .

Bourgeois culture shamelessly hypersexualizes women  while pushing the limits of what is 
considered morally acceptable and breaking taboos such as the sexualization of children . 
Pornography is widespread, helping to push the boundaries of acceptability. Bourgeois 
culture promotes liberal, fake "feminism" as a cover for the structural oppression of 
women and children under capitalism .

Victim-blaming is an integral part of Bourgeois culture as capitalism attempts to justify 
its existence despite its unjust and inhumane nature. The victims of imperialism in the 
proletarian world are portrayed as culturally backwards and at fault for their own poverty 
when it is, in fact, a consequence of imperialist theft of their resources and destruction 
of their cultures . Victims of police violence are routinely smeared and blamed for their 
own suffering . Similarly, victims of rape and other physical abuse are often ridiculed 
and shamed, while the perpetrators are often absolved .

Bourgeois culture elevates superficiality and stupidity, mindless decadence and debauchery 
, and blind obedience to authority. Drug abuse is glorified throughout capitalist 
propaganda. Bourgeois culture promotes the idea that morality is irrelevant or obsolete 
and that people have no responsibility for their own actions other than obeying authority 
. It perpetuates a narrow, selfish mindset based on individualism and opportunism.

Among the working class, capitalism discourages intellectual activity such as reading 
books, studying, and discussing important issues . Instead, Bourgeois culture elevates 
television, video games, pornography, and other forms of mindless electronic entertainment 
which distract the masses from reality, pacifying them while poisoning their minds.

Capitalism wages a war on nature, portraying technology and economic growth as the 
solution to humanity's problems instead of social ownership of the means of production . 
Capitalism promotes reckless genetic engineering of agricultural crops despite the 
potential threat to human and environmental health . Car culture is central to capitalism, 
as private individual transport is much more profitable to the capitalists than public 
mass transit despite its hugely negative impact on the environment . Capitalism has given 
rise to the phenomenon known as "planned obsolescence" whereby products are deliberately 
designed to break or become obsolete, increasing sales and profits along with further 
environmental destruction and wasted labor . Bourgeois culture mocks the destruction of 
nature by pretending to care while promoting blind consumerism and a wasteful, decadent 
lifestyle .

Capitalism pushes for the constant and expanding use of digital and wireless technology 
everywhere  which is used by the state for surveillance of the masses . Bourgeois culture 
glorifies trans-humanism , the merging of humans with technology, which necessarily 
constitutes a type of eugenics program as long as capitalism and class division exist . 
The continuing destruction of the natural environment under capitalism is reflected in the 
increasing mechanization and enslavement of the working class and in its alienation from 
nature and addiction to electronics .

Bourgeois culture celebrates everything that is evil about humanity while ridiculing and 
dismissing everything that is good. Bourgeois culture celebrates the Bourgeois lifestyle 
which is based upon the exploitation and sacrifice of others. Bourgeois culture is 
essentially a culture that worships death, a culture of destruction.

Proposed New anarchist culture

New society must necessarily be based upon a New anarchist Culture that celebrates life, a 
culture that respects nature and humanity, a culture that elevates discipline, 
intelligence, and self-sacrifice, a culture that stands in complete opposition to all the 
reactionary and degenerate elements of Bourgeois culture. The New Culture must support the 
healthy evolutionary development of humanity in harmony with the Earth's natural 
environment, and it must provide the necessary tools for the successful consolidation of 
New structure (state & capitalism demolished)- and the transition to libertarian communism.

New Culture must be based on an entirely new set of values that embody a revolutionary 
libertarian communist mentality. Everyone must be held accountable for the values they 
promote through speech, music, writing, and other forms of media. New Culture does not 
tolerate oppression, exploitation, or social chauvinism. It does not tolerate the 
objectification and dehumanization of people, in media or elsewhere, and it does not 
tolerate victim-blaming. New Culture upholds self-determination, self-defense, and 
Anarcho-Syndicalist  organization. New Culture does not tolerate the glorification of 
drugs, violence, or sexual depravity. There is no place in New Culture for Bourgeois 
degeneracy. New Culture upholds the principle of respect for humans and other biological 
life and does not have a liberal tolerance for violations of this principle.

Unlike Bourgeois culture, New Culture promotes a healthy, balanced lifestyle and good 
habits that help maintain the health and happiness of the individual. New Culture is based 
upon those ideas and actions that support the liberation of the working class and the 
protection and rehabilitation of the Earth's ecosystems. Proper nutrition, exercise, study 
habits, and social activity are all essential aspects of New Culture, as they are all 
important for nurturing healthy, intelligent, and productive people that New Power needs 
to survive and expand.

In New Anarchist Culture, technology is viewed entirely differently than in Bourgeois 
culture. Nature is more important than technology in New Culture. Technology should be 
used to liberate humanity from toil and drudgery in order to make more time for activities 
that actually elevate humanity, such as intellectual study and enjoyment of the natural 
world. The effects of technology, blatant and subtle, must always be considered. The more 
time humans spend interacting with technology, the less time they spend interacting with 
nature, and the more disconnected they become from their natural environment, both 
physically and psychologically. Too much time spent with technology means that technology 
ceases to be the servant and instead becomes the master. Thus, technology must be designed 
and implemented in a way that does not interfere with natural processes, in a way that 
supports biodiversity, ecological health, and human health. New Culture only values 
technology for its ability to liberate and elevate humanity. Mindless or destructive 
applications of technology have no place in our New Culture.

New Anarchist Culture is based upon collective ownership of the means of production, 
aiming for efficiency of production and efficiency of transportation and distribution 
while minimizing the need for human labor. New Culture values intelligent resource 
management including conservation of resources and careful planning of production to 
eliminate waste and negative environmental impact. Production techniques that are in 
harmony with the natural environment are important in New Culture. Closed-loop systems of 
production, distribution, and waste management are essential to maintaining the integrity 
of Earth's ecosystems. Public transportation and clean energy generation are also 
essential. In addition to collective ownership of the means of production, New Culture 
embraces collective thinking and problem-solving. With collective ownership of the means 
of production along with scientific, democratic decision-making processes regarding 
production and distribution of resources, the necessity for labor could be drastically 
reduced while providing abundance for all humans in harmony with Earth's natural processes.

New Culture emphasizes critical analysis and objectivity while encouraging criticism and 
self-criticism in order to recognize and correct errors. As our opinion If we have 
shortcomings, we are not afraid to have them pointed out and criticized, because we serve 
the people. New Culture does not tolerate egotism and self-righteousness, but instead 
upholds the principle of No investigation, no right to speak. Logic, science, and 
discipline are highly valued within New Culture. Only if the masses become sufficiently 
advanced in their proletarian consciousness can they successfully wage the revolutionary 
struggle. New Culture is essential to bringing the masses to a higher level of Social 
consciousness.

Conclusion

Bourgeois culture, politics, and economics are leading humanity and the Earth's ecosystems 
to destruction. The ignorance and docility of the masses, and the lack of organization and 
proletarian consciousness among the left, allow capitalism to function without 
interference. Building New Culture as a part of New Power is essential to our revolution. 
The proletarian masses must develop an entirely new set of values, habits, and 
institutions, an entirely new way of thinking and living, an entirely new way of 
understanding and interacting with the world, if our revolution is to succeed.

Bourgeois culture today is not merely a reflection of the degenerate capitalist system, 
but significantly influenced and manufactured by Bourgeois institutions in order to 
engineer the consciousness of the masses to suit the interests of the capitalist ruling 
class . The successful liberation of humanity thus requires the development of a 
proletarian consciousness sufficiently advanced to allow the masses to free themselves 
from imperialist psychological manipulation, to free themselves from the state & 
capitalist system and the culture of destruction it perpetuates.

In his article "For a Cultural Association," the Italian communist Gramsci discussed the 
need to develop an institution to promote and foster the development of a healthy 
revolutionary culture among the proletarian masses. Gramsci identified various reasons for 
the necessity of such an institution of proletarian culture: to integrate the political 
and economic activity of the socialist movement with cultural activity; to raise the level 
of political consciousness among the masses so they can better understand and overcome 
their problems without relying merely on discipline and trust in their leaders; to explore 
the deeper moral, spiritual, and philosophical problems of socialism and revolution; and 
to provide a way for revolutionary intellectuals to effectively contribute their skills 
and talents to the revolutionary struggle .

As our revolutionary movement grows, the need for institutions of revolutionary 
proletarian culture will also grow, although this will not happen evenly across the world. 
The need for proletarian cultural institutions will arise where revolutionary sentiment 
has taken hold among the masses, where New social Power is being actively constructed. It 
is up to the Form of Anarchist Federation of the world to provide the proper psychological 
and cultural direction for the development of New Culture among the revolutionary masses 
and to support the healthy development of proletarian cultural institutions as a part of 
New Power.

The corporations are busting the Balkans, and the states are on their way. "Država is 
organized crime!" ---- This week, another wave of protests against the construction of a 
hydropower network is taking place in Serbia, which would have a devastating impact on the 
river system. Local anarchists and anarchists organize several events. The rich network of 
flows not only in Serbia has been a long-lasting year in the eye of non-food entrepreneurs 
in the field of hydro power engineering. There are plans to build three thousand works, 
one third of which is located in protected areas. Critics of a large project warn of 
destruction of the river system, ecosystems, drinking water supplies, as well as negative 
impacts on local communities.
In November, protesters achieved a significant victory. The Serbian government under 
pressure has drawn up a proposal to stop construction of hydropower plants in protected 
areas. This month should go through the first reading in Parliament. The ignorant argue 
that the law should cover a third of all flows in the country. Concerns are compounded by 
increasing pressure from multinationals, especially Russian corporations, who see profits 
without risk in the construction of power plants. Lobbyists in law enforce legal loopholes 
and seek to limit the extent of protected streams. New projects are being promoted in 
other Balkan countries.

Serbia has recently visited Vladimir Putin together with representatives of Russian 
business. The Papalas have signed more than twenty cooperation and investment treaties. It 
was signed a memorandum of cooperation and broader Russian investments in hydroelectricity 
and managers Siloviye Mashiny Corporation signed an agreement to extend the hydroelectric 
power plant Djerdap second

Destruction of the river system does not only concern Serbia. Entity Bosnia and 
Herzegovina The Republika Srpska on 24 January published plans for the construction of two 
new water works. Last week, there was also protest in Strpce, Kosovo, where earthworks for 
another hydropower plant began. Protests broke the police. The energy concern Matkos Group 
plans five projects in the area.

"We are not a music band, but a political artistic group, they are musicians among us, but 
it's not our main focus," says Marija Aljochin about the Pussy Riot Theater project and 
fully depicts the anarchist nature of their work. This is not about a specific artistic 
formation, but about a statement that can take on any form of the situationalist model. 
This is to drive people to an active interest in public affairs, and to abandon power to 
the authoritarian regime and oligarchic interests. The Pussy Riot movement is thus 
continuing anarcho-feminist activism, like the Ukrainian Femen Association or the Russian 
actionist Pavlenskij, who nailed his testicles to Red Square to protest against the Nike 
regime.
Promo promised a concert show with avant-garde theater, so I expected something Residents. 
Finally, there was a musical performance with a declaration (in Russian) of proven 
anti-Potential and anti-Church slogans directed against the violation of freedom of speech 
and gathering in Russia, with which the Pussy Riot has a wealth of experience. Behind the 
back of a gender-balanced quartet, a text-based agitation (in English) calling for 
activism and a snippet of videos from their most famous entries, such as the Christ Savior 
Temple, after which three members of the Pussy Riot were sentenced to two years in jail. 
Two of them also gave testimony. Aljochin this year's Riot Day book came out, which is 
also called the entire tour. The most well known face of the Pussy Riot collective, 
Nadežda Tolokonnikova, which focuses primarily on clip art, then published a book entitled 
How to Make a Revolution . Both books are a radical leftist rhetoric, but above all a 
description of the inhuman conditions in a Russian prison and local bullying from guards 
resembling Soviet gulags during the Stalinist era. Both, after release, held 
demonstrations to support the improvement of conditions in Russian prisons, which they 
eventually partially succeeded. That was what the Prague performance was about.

Adopted psycho-punk was a combination of punk energy and electronics, occasionally dance, 
occasionally industrial, and specks of folklore. The trumpet sounded, but it was very 
distorted and the drums were sharp as shrapnel. The music was provided by a laptop, a 
mixer and paddles, where two protagonists from the AWOTT duo performed during the show. At 
the end, the water was poured into the audience. That a reminder of Orthodox baptism? The 
Orthodox Church, headed by Patriarch Kyrill of Moscow, was the first to show Pussy Riot 
uncomfortably behind bars in the 2012 court trial. To that end, Pusy Riot, in her final 
defense, had the objection to her: "Do Christians no longer know the word of forgiveness?" 
Last year, the international court gave them the truth that they were imprisoned 
improperly. At the conclusion of the concert, Aljochin did not forget to mention our Jan 
Palach and his radical act, directed against the Soviet occupation fifty years ago. The 
timing of their performance in Den Palach was probably not just a random one. 
Revolutionaries are never enough. We are the Power.

In our country, the Pussy Riot is known to the wider public primarily because of the 
legendary commentary by Czech President Zeman, who tried years ago to translate their 
name, but somehow did not do it, because "pussy" is not in English "cunda", as it claims, 
but the diminution of this word . In addition, they are not "crap", as he then analyzed 
their activity in an interview with Lán but an internationally respected 
political-artistic activist. However, apparently his slim imagination is not enough.

In this video presentation recorded at the 2018 Boston Anarchist Bookfair, Bree Busk and

The Minsk anarchists Dmitry Polienko, Yevgeny Chulitsky and Anastasia Guseva were detained 
on the morning of January 21. They are suspected of creating anti-militar graffiti on 
Partizansky Avenue in Minsk. A criminal case was initiated against young people under 
Article 341 of the Criminal Code (desecration of buildings and property damage). After 72 
hours, the detainees were released from the police. They told how it was. ---- Detention 
---- At the door of the former political prisoner Dmitry Polienko on the street Angarskaya 
knocked about eight o'clock in the morning on January 21. He refused to open, then outside 
he threatened to knock the door down. Almost as soon as the lock was opened, people in 
bullet-proof vests entered the apartment with weapons in their hands. Further - as in the 
budget movie.

"As soon as they were in the apartment, they immediately started shouting that everyone 
would lie down on the floor, hands behind their backs and so on, " Polienko said . " I 
didn't manage to scare me, I began to ask who they are and what they are doing here. It 
turned out that criminal search. I and Nastya Guseva, who was also in the apartment, were 
told to collect things because we were being detained. "

In parallel, at around 9 am, security forces came to the apartment of a member of the 
anarchist movement, Yevgeny Chulitsky . They entered the porch and the apartment behind 
the anarchist's mother, who lives there. As Yevgeny confesses, he woke up from the fact 
that an unknown man, who turned out to be an employee of the criminal investigation 
department, was trying to wake him up.

Searches
Immediately the search began in the apartment. The anarchist says that his mother tried to 
make a remark to the police because they behaved disrespectfully: they just threw things 
on the floor and broke furniture. The guy seized all the equipment, even the old phones 
that do not work. And already at the entrance to him handcuffed.

The search in Polienko's apartment began after he and Gusev were taken to the police 
station:  "Even the walls were broken, not that the wardrobes or the sofa. It was a 
complete defeat, as if a hurricane had passed. I had to spend several hours to restore at 
least some order Something can not be repaired.

Many things that had nothing to do with this criminal case, like banners and letters from 
prisoners, were withdrawn. Why do they need it, I still do not understand. But the main 
thing is that I lost money from my wallet, 370 rubles and a hundred dollar bill. On this 
occasion, I am going to contact the prosecutor's office soon. "

There were no searches only at Guseva's place of residence - the girl lives in a dormitory.

"You will jump on my bottle!"
Further "adventures" of the detained anarchists took place in the city police department 
and temporary detention center on the 1st alley of Okrestin.

"When Nastya and I were taken to GOM on Angarskaya Street, for some reason I didn't have 
enough space. I had to go all the way, kneeling and bowing my head. As soon as I tried to 
move or sit more comfortably, they beat me right away, though not much , and threatened: 
"We will now obostsym head! " or" You will jump on my bottle! ". I tried not to provoke a 
situation."

In GOM, the guys and the girl were held until the evening. Guseva said that she was not 
allowed to go to the toilet in the "monkey house" - she had to relieve herself in the 
cell. The girl's head ached, but no one responded to requests for a pill. Finally, the 
detainees were taken to the detention center on the metropolitan alley Akrestin. 
Anarchists had to spend a couple of hours in the paddy wagon, while the police collected 
detainees from polling stations throughout the city.

Royal Falafel
The next two days, the anarchists almost completely spent on interrogations in the 
Investigation Committee. The detainees were placed in different corners of the room. So, 
looking at the walls, they could stand for 3-4 hours.

"During the interrogation, it was even ridiculous. The investigator tells me:" Dima, well, 
let me take you two royal falafel, and you sign the papers with my guilt, eh? "Of course, 
I laughed at this, - Polienko said . - Talk with the investigators, I refused at all, did 
not say anything. "

So did Guseva. Only Yevgeny Chulitsky stated that he had nothing to do with graffiti and 
noted that there are people who would prove that he was not present at the time of writing 
the inscription.

L ingvisticheskaya expertise
According to Polienko , the text was sent to the graffiti and for linguistic examination: 
"I was surprised that the examination was carried out to incite hostility not only to the 
social group (Interior Ministry officers), but also to Igor Shunevich. There[in the text 
of the examination]his name appeared. In general, this is not fun at all, because no one 
knows how this case is rotated further. According to Article 341, we cannot be sent to 
jail for more than three months, and most likely it will be a fine in general. But our 
business can be retrained as you wish".

The anarchists consider the European Games to be held in summer, as well as parliamentary 
and presidential elections, to be the cause of pressure on themselves. On the question of 
whether they feel guilty for the act, the anarchists are unanimous in saying that they 
will not say anything. But even if they left the graffiti, they would still not feel 
guilty, since what was written is true.

Announcement of Collaboration for Social Anarchism Black & Red on the occasion of the new 
threats of evacuation against occupation Mundo Nuevo ---- Flesh from our flesh and blood 
from our blood. The occupation of Mundo Nuevo has already measured three years of life 
since the day when, at the initiative of our college, the building was occupied in the 
corner of Shiattis with Philip and will continue to count a lot more. Because already in 
these three years, through the countless hours of work with the countless hours of care 
and active support, he has formed an open field of solidarity through the hundreds of 
actions and actions that took place in the building, he managed to bring together old and 
new fighters and convinced that her defense case is a worthwhile affair, as well as 
involving many comrades in the struggle process.

These, and now, as always, want to hit the state. This appetite for struggle wants to 
stop, trying to break up the struggles and struggles. This is what the current state 
administration wants. They will not achieve anything. Why the fighters have already made 
their decisions. The various stakeholders will receive the appropriate answer. Already in 
Athens, SYRIZA's sad stray-man at OKANA Vangelis Kafetzopoulos accepted the visit of our 
comrades. And that's just the beginning.

Now is the time of action and of direct - practical solidarity with all means. We call 
each fighter to actively support the occupation through participation in the day-to-day 
fences of the building and all other occupation actions. We call each partner, each team 
and collectivity in Greece and abroad to take action against the state and its dogs. Every 
attack on one of us is an attack on everyone. And it will not be missed.

Evacuation means war.

Black & Red 22.01.2019
