One year on from 19th April 2023, the day Cooper Andrews ("🇺🇸"), Finbar Cafferkey (🇮🇪), and Dmitriy Petrov fell in battle near Bakhmut, we will gather in Berlin to remember their lives. We'll read their words, hear directly from their friends, and guide internationalist discussions, incl. about parallels between the struggles of Kurds and Ukrainians.
The 3 are among many anarchists, feminists, antifascists, trade unionists & human rights defenders who have perished in the Russian imperialist war in Ukraine. Dmitriy, Finbar & Marsy previously fought in defence of the revolution in Rojava.

These entities are reportedly operating nine Telegram channels with more than five million subscribers to whom they were making recommendations on selected listed scrips. Such recommendations induced the investors to deal in the said scrips, thereby creating artificial volume and price rise. He floated the idea of restricting the use of Telegram in Ukraine and Russia, a suggestion that was met with fierce opposition from users. Shortly after, Durov backed off the idea. At the start of 2018, the company attempted to launch an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) which would enable it to enable payments (and earn the cash that comes from doing so). The initial signals were promising, especially given Telegram’s user base is already fairly crypto-savvy. It raised an initial tranche of cash – worth more than a billion dollars – to help develop the coin before opening sales to the public. Unfortunately, third-party sales of coins bought in those initial fundraising rounds raised the ire of the SEC, which brought the hammer down on the whole operation. In 2020, officials ordered Telegram to pay a fine of $18.5 million and hand back much of the cash that it had raised. On Feb. 27, however, he admitted from his Russian-language account that "Telegram channels are increasingly becoming a source of unverified information related to Ukrainian events." After fleeing Russia, the brothers founded Telegram as a way to communicate outside the Kremlin's orbit. They now run it from Dubai, and Pavel Durov says it has more than 500 million monthly active users.
