On Monday, March 18, the anarchist Lorenzo Orsetti was martyred in Baghouz, the last
territorial stronghold in Deir Ezzor. He fought as a member of Tekosîna Anarsîst
(Anarchist Struggle) and was a companion to Tikko. Originally from Florence, Italy, he
fought in Rojava for a year and a half, including in defense of the Turkish invasion of
Afrin. ---- >> From Tekosîna Anarsîst: ---- "Today, our comrade Heval Tekoser Piling fell
in combat in Baghouz. He was a great friend to us all and an incredibly brave soldier.
Many of us have had the pleasure of fighting at your side. From Afrin to Deir Ezzor, he
was always the last to leave. Sehid namirin! " ---- Related Items: ----

In these challenging times, where there is great political confusion, where old practices
which lead to the same port are renewed, as is the case with the variety of electioneering
offers that ensure they are not going to deviate from the path of a "responsible and
mature" politics: while global poverty, precariousness, unemployment and the desperate
migration of millions of people increase; while despair grows and authoritarian and
neoliberal proposals are gaining ground, where technical coups take place with a view to
the most rancid bourgeoisie taking up the state's helm again. Nothing should escape its
control and, within this framework, the imperialist policies of the USA and European Union
place their chips and interests on the global game board. Thereby increasing, with
variants in every region of the planet, the so-called surplus population, stripped of the
essentials to live; while the population that suffers various levels of precariousness
grows in size and severity. A world that is increasingly designed for less and less
people, an increasingly small population that is fully "integrated" into the global
capitalist system, where precariousness, segregation, segmentation and survival are
constantly increasing. And at the other extreme, wealth is increasingly concentrated in
the hands of fewer people.

In these challenging times, where there is great political confusion, where old practices
which lead to the same port are renewed, as is the case with the variety of electioneering
offers that ensure they are not going to deviate from the path of a "responsible and
mature" politics: while global poverty, precariousness, unemployment and the desperate
migration of millions of people increase; while despair grows and authoritarian and
neoliberal proposals are gaining ground, where technical coups take place with a view to
the most rancid bourgeoisie taking up the state's helm again. Nothing should escape its
control and, within this framework, the imperialist policies of the USA and European Union
place their chips and interests on the global game board. Thereby increasing, with
variants in every region of the planet, the so-called surplus population, stripped of the
essentials to live; while the population that suffers various levels of precariousness
grows in size and severity. A world that is increasingly designed for less and less
people, an increasingly small population that is fully "integrated" into the global
capitalist system, where precariousness, segregation, segmentation and survival are
constantly increasing. And at the other extreme, wealth is increasingly concentrated in
the hands of fewer people.
This situation, with variants, is more familiar to us. There will be no transformation of
this situation through the channels that the system leaves available (elections,
parliaments, governments and judicial system), since all these structures are established
in order to perpetuate and deepen the "bourgeois" social order. It is for this reason that
a way out for the people themselves is necessary and urgent. A way out regarding which we
organised anarchists have a lot to say and contribute.
This is why the action of Politically Organized Anarchism (Especifismo) has a lot to say
and contribute, on an effective strategy for struggle, but also to learn and be updated at
this juncture. We are convinced that Anarchism must be operational, agile, that it must be
in tune with the new social realities in order to combat the brutality that this ruthless
system imposes on those at the bottom of society, the oppressed class. But for this, we
reiterate, Anarchism must be organized politically. It is the Political Organization that
enables militants to process necessary discussions and debates, to make pertinent
contextual analyses, to define action and development plans, to refine tactics with
precision, but also to determine a finalist strategy and the adequacy of that strategy for
each period of action, for each conjuncture - what we call Strategy in the Strict Sense -
and also to develop the necessary technical aspects inherent to the political
organization. All this in constant interaction with the social environment; the Political
Organization's reason for being is the social insertion of Anarchism, precisely to make it
more effective and to influence and provide a pole of attraction to processes of popular
outcome.
Therefore, it is not enough to be inserted, to do things in the social environment without
planning. We live life in insertion, but it is necessary to complement it with the
Political Organization, that small engine that pushes the popular movement. The Anarchist
Political Organization, according to the especifista conception, is not a vanguard, but
militant abnegation with the purpose of encouraging and guiding a process of revolutionary
rupture with the widespread participation of the organized people. Deeply respecting the
specificity of that level. We have called that process Popular Power, the process of
building the people's organisms of power with which bourgeois power structures will be
replaced. Thus, social insertion and political organization go hand in hand and are
articulated horizontally in a very different way to that proposed and developed by all the
vanguards of the left until now; which have done nothing more than limit the development
of popular organizations and instrumentalize them as "apparatuses" useful to their
parties. For that reason Especifista Anarchism speaks about a Strong People and not about
a "strong party" as all the currents of Marxism have proposed. We advocate a Strong
People, a people that builds its own destiny and its instances and degrees of freedom
according to its experience of struggles and development and advances in the process of
rupture.
For a long time already in Latin America we have been making a constant effort and with
all the modesty of our forces, in the direction of promoting Especifismo. A not
insignificant journey has been made. Moreover, today Organized Anarchism has a presence
and pole of attraction in countries where it had practically disappeared. It affects the
popular level and in a strong way. We must continue this path, we must give it a "push",
help to move it forward. We need Especifismo, that is to say Politically Organized
Anarchism, to grow and strengthen in other countries and regions. To strengthen processes
that have been cementing themselves, at a serene pace, calm but firm. Something similar
can be said about the need to grow and strengthen in other regions of the planet.
We are speaking about Political Organization with an Organizational Charter, Declaration
of Principles, regular functioning of its organisational instances and a practice of
Federalism, development and monitoring of work plans for each social environment, plans
for tasks specific to the Organization, propaganda and dissemination of ideas and of the
general and concrete political proposal for every environment and circumstance.
But the Political Organization is also in charge of the formulation of theory, that is the
tools of analysis to know the reality, interpret it and be able to act with greater
accuracy and effectiveness in it. This task, of theoretical development, is understood by
us as one of primary importance and of necessary constant exchange between Organizations.
The development of the Political Organization must take place within the framework of the
development of insertion - and together with it - in the different work fronts. Often
there are limited possibilities to develop insertion in all possible fronts of work or in
those that we define as priorities because of class allegiances or the social weight of
said sector in the ideological notions that it produces. But one must take these
limitations into account and work in that direction, planning a project of insertion or
for approaching certain sectors that allows us to grow our orientation in the most vast
popular sectors.
These are the common tools - together with political practices - that allow us to
demonstrate a common militant style and matrix, but also a common proposal and societal
project. In the same way, a common criticism of the capitalist system of oppression.
Presenting a common body at the international level strengthens our current and our
approach; logically, with the particularities of each country or region, which enrich the
global process.
But we want to insist on the need to enhance Especifismo and have a kind of international
"relaunching" of our political current, or give it strength and consistency, anchoring
organizations where we are not yet present, strengthening those that do exist and the
bonds between us.
The times that lie ahead demand concerted action and permanent solidarity between
organizations, with the necessary mutual aid that potentiates concrete projects of social
insertion and fronts of action, but that also amplifies our voice and political proposal
at a general level. It demands equally of us greater militant rigor and political training
of all our militants. We also need to develop the necessary instruments and tools to face
the circumstances that are coming.
Therefore, in this instance of Anarchist Days we have discussed and agreed on the
following proposals:
?1) Consolidating the construction processes of specific organizations.
?2) Strengthening bonds of solidarity and political exchange between organizations on a
daily basis, including organizations' appropriation of the Anarkismo.net website, in order
to spread our activities, positions and materials. This website should be a platform for
launching our current and political and social project.
3) Joint work on the development of our theory and tools of analysis. There are already
texts being circulated, but others can be proposed and topics to be investigated and
worked on together (for example, Popular Power, Resistance, etc.) can be established.
?4) Moving towards the coordination of organizations at the level of each region (Europe,
South America) and establishing organizations responsible for monitoring and supporting
other processes in other parts of the planet.
5) Defining general courses of action in the coming years and areas of work, as well as
the necessary support from outside (for example: in the face of the advance of the extreme
right in European countries, or the intensification of repression in Latin America).

In the run-up to presidential elections and the FIFA World Cup, repressions against
antifascists and anarchists started in Russia. In Autumn 2017, 6 people were arrested in
Penza; several of them had weapons and explosives planted on them. FSB officers then
tortured the antifascists right in the detention facility: they applied naked wires to the
activists' various body parts and turned the electricity on, they beat them up, hanged
them upside down. While torturing them, the agents made the activists learn by heart the
story the FSB needed: they were supposed to confess of having founded and belonging to a
terrorist organization called "The Network". In late January 2018, three more antifascists
were arrested in Saint-Petersburg. They, too, were beaten up, tortured with electric
current, and forced to incriminate themselves by confirming they were members of the
"Network".
AGA continues it's series of actions to support our comrades in problems.
Please come to the Anarchist Library (Eerste Schinkelstraat 14-16) on Saturday March 30,
18:00 to learn about this case, get update from the last event and write your solidarity
letters to the prisoners!

Since October 2017, 11 people have been arrested as part of the "Network" case - a
terrorism investigation led by the Russian security services into anti-fascists and
anarchists. According to investigators, these men were allegedly members of an
organisation that planned to "destabilise the political climate in the country" during the
Russian presidential elections and Football World Cup via explosions and riots. Cells of
the organisation were allegedly operating in Moscow, St Petersburg, Penza and Belarus.
---- Several of the men detained have reported that the FSB tortured them into confessing
to the charges against them. For example, software engineer Viktor Filinkov, who was
abducted from St Petersburg Pulkovo airport in January 2018, has described in detail how
he was tortured with electric shocks into learning a false confession in a minivan on the
outskirts of the city. Arman Sagynbayev, who previously ran a vegan food business, has
stated that he underwent similar torture in November 2017 in St Petersburg. Other people
detained as suspects and witnesses in this case have also reported brutal torture.
Yuly Boyarshinov, an antifascist, industrial climber and "free market" organiser from St
Petersburg, was arrested on 21 January 2018. Boyarshinov later stated that city police
officers beat him after he refused to answer their questions, citing his right not to
incriminate himself. Four hundred grams of gunpowder were then discovered in his
possession. On 23 January, a district court ordered his arrest for 30 days on a explosives
possession charge. Boyarshinov was then visited by two FSB agents, who listed the names of
defendants in the "Network" case and promised that if he did not talk, it "would get
worse". After he refused to talk, he was transferred to Pre-Trial Detention Centre No.6 at
Gorelovo, in the outskirts of St Petersburg. On 11 April 2018, Boyarshinov was officially
accused of being a member of a terrorist organisation.
In total, Boyarshinov spent five months in Gorelovo Pre-Trial Detention Centre -
throughout this time, the FSB tried to make him confess to the charges against him. In a
publication by Russian media outlet MediaZona, he describes the atmosphere of isolation,
violence and doom in the prison.
Detainees in Gorelovo Detention Centre are subject to systematic physical violence and
humiliations by other prisoners, who carry out the orders of the prison administration.
Those prisoners call themselves "elders" or "seniors", but other prisoners call them
"reds" or "activists".
These same people extract money from detainees for individual places to sleep, places next
to the television, the right to sleep during the day and other "privileges". For example,
in Cell 3/14, I had to sleep in a twin-bed with four more prisoners. And in Cell 1/2,
where I was from 1 March 2018 until 20 July 2018, I had to sleep either on the floor or
the top bunk of a double bed with two, three, four more people.
More than a half of all prisoners in the cell do not have their own sleeping place, but
this is not only due to overcrowding. In Cell 1/2, which has room for 116 people to sleep,
there usually were 120-140 people, sometimes even 150. But, regardless of the
overcrowding, there were always free beds in the "Kremlin".
The "Kremlin" is a large space, separated by a curtain, where the "activists" live. In
Cell 1/2, three or four people occupied 12 sleeping places in the "Kremlin", while at the
other end of the same cell regular prisoners had to share a twin bed between five people.
More than a half of all prisoners in the cell do not have their own sleeping place, but
this is not only due to overcrowding
A new arrival into the cell is met by "orderlies", usually sporty young men. They shout at
the newbie to run to the other side of the cell, then tell him to stand there and wait
until he is called. The prisoner acting as a clerk writes down the new prisoner's personal
details: his name and surname, date of birth, charge/conviction and prison term (if he
already has one). In Cell 1/2, as in many others, both convicted prisoners and those under
investigation are detained together. People who are first-time prisoners and
"second-timers", as well as people who are facing charges of different severity, are all
mixed together. When I was in Cell 1/2, there were detainees investigated under Articles
105, 111, 126, 127, 131, 132, 134, 135, 158, 159, 161, 162, 163, 205, 222, 228, 264, 210
and others.
The new arrival is forced to wait standing from anywhere between 20 minutes to one and a
half hours, without talking to anyone. Then he is called to the "kitchen", which is a
small room at the far end of the cell, where no one is normally allowed in. This is where
the "activists" eat, and a designated person cooks food for them on a stove throughout the
day. Fresh meat and eggs are brought to them in a soup tureen.
Yuly Boyarshinov. Source: David Frenkel / MediaZona. Two or three "activists" talk to the
newcomer in the kitchen, explain to him that one has to pay 5,000-10,000 roubles[roughly
£60-£110]a month for a separate bunk, sometimes they extract a one-off payment for "moving
in" - tens of thousands of roubles[up to £500]. If he refuses[to pay], they shout, hit him
in the stomach or the back of the head. They threaten to beat his buttocks or heels with a
stick, but this they do rarely in order to avoid leaving traces.
They also force the newcomer to clean the floor, sometimes non-stop, four or five times
per hour from lunch until dinner, and then from dinner until lights-off. They threaten
that if a prisoner cleans the floor, this will affect his social status and later he will
be forced to do that permanently in the correction colony. In other words, cleaning is
turned into a humiliating punishment.
Those who face charges under Articles 131-135 of the Russian Criminal Code[crimes related
to sexual violence]are forced to clean the latrines, wash clothes for the "seniors" and
pay much higher sums of money.
Sometimes, as an alternative to monthly payments, the "activists" propose these detainees
become a "helper" - that is, to serve one of the "activists", wash their clothes, bring
food to the "Kremlin", put up the curtain that separates the "Kremlin" from the rest of
the cell and take it down when it's likely that prison guards may visit, although they
don't remove it in the presence of the regular guards responsible for the block.
When one of the "activists" goes to the toilet, the helpers kick out everyone from there
in advance, roughly 10 minutes or so before. The same happens if one of the "activists"
takes a shower. There is no hot water in the first and third blocks. The water for
"activists" is warmed up with an immersion heater in a big barrel - a designated person
has to look after it the whole day. Only "activists" can wash with hot water.
Regular prisoners are only allowed to use one lavatory out of three in the toilet, two
others are reserved for the "elders". Because of that and the fact that they close the
toilet so often, there was always a queue of four-five people there.
There are two "clerks" in Cell 1/2. These are the prisoners who read both in- and outgoing
letters of other prisoners and check that nobody complains to their relatives about
violations in the cell. They can block a letter or order you to cross out particular
sentences. You are not allowed to put letters in the letterbox yourself. The clerks also
sign to receive letters, sometimes also for food parcels and shopping for other detainees.
They also pass statements and requests to detention centre officials. Almost all
interactions with the guards, including during the morning inspection, are mediated by the
clerks and elders, and you are prohibited from addressing[the guards]directly, which
creates isolation and a sense of doom.
Yuli Boyarshinov and defense attorney Olga Krivonos at a custody extension hearing, 19
February 2018. Source: OVD-Info / Olga Krivonos. I was beaten up several times: on the day
I moved in to Cell 3/14, on the first day in Cell 1/2, and on the second day there too,
and on the several more occasions from time to time when I was called in for a
"conversation" in the kitchen. These "conversations" usually happened after my lawyer
applied to transfer me to another cell or complained about the conditions of my detention
and so on.
From the first day, I was told that "this can't be solved with money" and that there was
a special request on me from Ivan Prozarevsky, an agent, to create especially difficult
conditions for me.
The first few months I was forced to clean the floor non-stop, then slightly rarer after
that. During my whole time in Gorelovo I was barely allowed out to exercise, only a couple
of times per month.
After I applied to be transferred to a non-smoking cell, I was called in to the kitchen.
Two "activists", Roman and Konstantin Makarov ("Makar"), were there. They said that they
would not allow me to be transferred to another cell and that I now had to have a photo
taken while holding a cigarette. I didn't want to do it, Roman tried to persuade me and
then threatened me with violence. From time to time, Denis Rymov, a "senior", entered the
kitchen. He shouted at me, threatened me and hit me several times on the face with an open
hand and then left. This "conversation" lasted for about an hour and a half, then Denis
entered again and said that if I didn't take the photo with a cigarette he would rape me ,
record it on video and send it to the[prison]colonies. Kostya stood beside me and held me
down, while Denis put his hand on my crotch and asked "Are you ready?" - after which I
agreed to take the photo.
In Cell 1/2, I was forced to write a statement confirming that I was not subject to any
pressure on at least three occasions. The first note was dictated to me by Konstantin
Makarov, who was told to do so by agent Prozarevsky. The second note I wrote in
Prozarevsky's office after the detention centre received a collective letter from citizens
concerned with conditions of detention in the prison. Prozarevsky didn't show me the
letter itself, he only gave me a list of approximately 180 names and instructed me to copy
them into my note, and confirm that I did not know any of them and that I was not under
any pressure in my cell.
This was not true at all. One of the "seniors", Dmitry Smirnov, was in the room with us.
Prozarevsky and Smirnov threatened that if I did not write this statement, they would
create unbearable conditions not only for me, but also for my cellmates - for example,
they would take away all mobile phones and shoelaces, thus aiming to provoke violence
against me from other detainees. I had to write the third note when Prozarevsky entered
the cell, sat down in the "Kremlin" and called me in there. The prisoners who sleep near
the "Kremlin" were forced to move to the other end of the cell, so that they could not see
us. After me, a few more prisoners were called in to write explanatory notes.
The "activists" in Pre-Trial Detention Centre No.6 carry out the orders of prison officers
who, in turn, can follow the orders of agents investigating detainees. They may instruct
the "activists" to "burn" certain detainees: beatings, threats, endless cleaning - in
general, they create unbearable conditions. They say openly that to stop all of this, you
have to give the required testimony in your case, "to solve the issue with your agents" -
as it was in my case.
One evening, around eight or nine pm, I was called by agent Evgeny Vladimirovich and asked
whether I would talk to the agents who were going to visit the detention centre the next
day. I replied that I would, but only in the presence of my lawyer, after which I was sent
to my cell and one of the "seniors" was called out. When he returned, he started shouting
at me and forced me to do 1,000 squats. This punishment is used quite often, but usually
only 500 times. After so many squats, one barely can move one's legs for a week and it's
difficult to walk.
The basic conditions in Gorelovo are truly nightmarish: not enough space, around two
square metres per person, overcrowded cells, a necessity to share the bed with many
people, the lack of hot water, constant queues for the toilet and sink, one 12-seater
table is used for 130-140 people, broken windows (prisoners break the glass during summer
when it is too hot), so there is a cold draft for people sleeping on the top bunks during
winter months. In winter, prisoners often sleep in coats.
But the hardest thing is surviving the atmosphere of isolation, systematic violence and
the sense of doom. Often, "seniors" or "orderlies" are shouting at someone near you,
threatening someone, administering beatings. It was routine to hear cries and pleas to
stop from the "kitchen", where somebody was being beaten on the buttocks or heels. It's
hard to avoid your fear of winding up in their place.
It was obvious that this didn't happen on the initiative of individual "activists", but an
order from prison officers. Prisoners who try to complain or ask to be transferred to
another cell are subjected to even more violence.
Various inspections and commissions often visit Gorelovo. When I was there from 1 March
until 20 July 2018, approximately twice per month there was an inspection by the General
Prosecutor's Office, the human rights ombudsman or the Public Monitoring Commission. As a
rule, they don't find so many violations, because their visits are announced in advance,
and an impression is created that there are no violations.
For example, before a visit from the Public Monitoring Commission, when they were planning
to record the overcrowding of the cells, half of all prisoners (70 people or so) were
taken out to exercise yard. Another time, the cell clerk simply lied to them, saying that
there were 110 people in the cell, although there were many more. Before an inspection
that was supposed to verify whether different categories of prisoners are kept separately,
the "activists" announced at the morning check that if you were asked, you should reply
that the cell held people who had not been previously convicted for serious offences. And
everyone had to choose an appropriate article[of the Criminal Code]. During the day, the
orderlies checked that.
If a detainee was called for a meeting with the Public Monitoring Commission or the
representatives of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, "activists" had a
"conversation" with him first, explaining that he could only say that "everything is
alright in the cell", that it was pointless to complain, and made threats. During any
meetings with the Public Monitoring Commission in a separate office, the head of the
centre's operational section or deputy head of the detention centre would be present, and
they would always tell the "elders" when the detainees said something bad about the cell.
[As a punishment]for complaints, detainees could be moved from a paid-for separate bunk to
a five-persons bed, deprived of access to the telephone, beaten up or forced to clean the
floor endlessly.
There was also a "tax" on parcels in Cell 1/2. The "activists" would take two packets of
cigarettes from every block and a bag of sweets (cookies, chocolates).
In Cell 1/2, I got infected with scabies. I received the diagnosis in Pre-Trial Detention
Centre No.1 in Penza, where I was transferred from Gorelovo. Treating scabies requires the
patient to be isolated, disinfection of your personal possessions, mattress, bedding and
cell. Nothing of the sort is done in Gorelovo: people infect each other every day in the
overcrowded cells. When I left Cell 1/2 in July, every second person in the cell was
suffering from scabies and was scratching all the time. There was no treatment for scabies.
Officers investigating a case can threaten suspects with a transfer to Gorelovo. There,
following investigator's instructions, people under investigation are pressured in order
to force them to give evidence necessary for the investigation.
