Hello! Today is Sunday, July 17 and we continue our podcast "Trends of Order and
Chaos". This is episode 63. Here are the highlights of the past week's agenda.---- Listen on SoundCloud ---- 1. Yulia Tsvetkova's case ---- Before moving on tothe bad news, let's start with the good news: on Friday, July 15, after threeyears of investigation, the court acquitted femactivist Yulia Tsvetkova. Now,within 10 days, the prosecutor's office, which previously requested three yearsand two months for a general regime colony for Tsvetkova, can challenge theacquittal. ---- 2. Repressions against deputies ---- Arrests of municipaldeputies continue. A criminal case has been opened against Ilya Yashin.Unfortunately, many oppositionists still hope to fit into government institutionswith their own agenda. You can, of course, pay tribute to their courage, but inthe current conditions it is like an attempt to fit into the power structures ofthe Third Reich. So it's good that they didn't fit in, but it's bad that theydidn't understand the futility of such a path earlier.3. Resistance to fascismMany Russians who disagree with the regime have been feeling like they are underoccupation for years. How they dealt with the fascists and occupiers, they knowfrom the history of the not so long gone 20th century. From criminal andadministrative trials for anti-war statements, some people concluded that it ismore effective to express their position in other ways, some of which aredescribed in previous trends.Those who read about the Resistance in different countries know that it usuallydid not start en masse, but gradually grew, gaining more and more supporters. Ifwe talk about the Resistance within Hitler's Germany itself, then both thepacifists from the White Rose with their leaflets, and the Edelweiss Pirates, whoresorted to more radical methods, were eventually executed. For the authorities,the word turned out to be equal to the weapon.4. Durruti's birthdayBy the way, about history: on July 14, one of the most famous and charismaticanarchists, José Buenaventura Durruti, was born in Spanish Leon. He declared: "Nogovernment fights fascism in order to destroy it. When the bourgeoisie sees thatpower is slipping from its hands, it feeds fascism in order to keep itsprivileges", "They don't discuss fascism, they destroy it."5. Maxim Butkevich in captivityMeanwhile, the anti-fascist and anarchist Maxim Butkevich, who went to the front,as the Spanish anarchists once did, was captured, and for a month now hisrelatives have not been able to find out about his fate. Maxim is well known as ahuman rights activist, journalist and founder of Hromadske Radio. He activelyhelped refugees forced to leave their homes due to war or political repression.6. World events and the uprising in Sri LankaOf course, now, when most of our readers are in the territories of the warringcountries, when Russian fascism is repressing the inhabitants of their countryand killing the inhabitants of Ukraine, including striking civilian objects, likethe recent shelling in Vinnitsa, we are trying to cover precisely these news inthe first place. turn. But readers are asking why we didn't talk about the eventsin Sri Lanka in the previous podcast. Well, let's tell.So, the protests in Sri Lanka began back in March as a result of the economiccrisis, including the food crisis, which arose due to an ill-conceived ban oninorganic fertilizers and pest control. These are really mass protests of allsegments of the population, which not a single party has been able to saddle.Arrests of bloggers, attacks on protesters and journalists, on the contrary, onlyadded fuel to the fire. The government imposed a state of emergency and a curfew,and also... well, who would have thought, blocked social networks. As a result,people began to massively use vpn and more people began to take to the streets.The resignation of the government and the promise of multimillion-dollarassistance from the United States could no longer stop the outraged people - as aresult, on July 9, they seized the presidential residence, the presidentialsecretariat and the official residence of the prime minister. The Presidentmanaged to escape.After the victory, as usual, the leaders of various parties took advantage of thefruits of the popular uprising - presidential elections are scheduled for July20. Spontaneous anarchism is good, but, unfortunately, quickly ends if people arenot ready to use anarchist structures of self-government further.7. Mass struggle timeNext week, we will be celebrating the anniversaries of the revolutions in Spainand Rojava on July 17 and 19 respectively, and there will be an opportunity todiscuss in more detail the anarchist practices of self-governing large areas intimes of war and crisis. And on July 14, 1789, the rebellious French stormed themain political prison of the absolute monarchy - the Bastille. The monarchy hasfallen.8. Zapatista coffeeIf we talk about modern practices of self-government, then, of course, theZapatista territories are one such example. In Russia, you can support theZapatistas and buy farm coffee through the Molotov cooperative, which iscurrently making pre-orders.The revolution continues in all parts of the world. She needs each of us, sosupport those who are captured by the authorities, be vigilant and do not letyourself be captured.Well, that's all for today! We remind you that in "Trends of Order and Chaos" theparticipants of "Autonomous Action" give anarchist assessments of current events.Listen to us on Youtube, SoundCloud and other platforms, visit our websiteavtonom.org!Issue #63 prepared by Nina Thttps://avtonom.org/news/repressii-i-soprotivlenie-trendy-poryadka-i-haosa-epizod-63-17-iyulya_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
