For our English -speaking friends, we publish translation of the analysis of the struggle in the last three years. Original text in Russian:https://telegra.ph/Tri-goda-02-25
Three years ago, the full-scale invasion of the fascist Russian state into Ukraine began. For the entire modern anarchist and revolutionary left movement in the post-Soviet region, including the Combat Organization of Anarcho-Communists (B.O.A.K), this has likely become the most serious test of our existence. We accepted the challenge of history and joined the fight.
Unfortunately, it is already possible to see how the struggle of anarchists in the region over these three difficult years is beginning to be forgotten. This must not happen. We must remember the martyrs and critically analyze the experiences gained in the struggle — only in this way can we achieve our revolutionary goals. https://telegra.ph/Three-Years-02-28

Russians and Ukrainians are both prolific users of Telegram. They rely on the app for channels that act as newsfeeds, group chats (both public and private), and one-to-one communication. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Telegram has remained an important lifeline for both Russians and Ukrainians, as a way of staying aware of the latest news and keeping in touch with loved ones. The next bit isn’t clear, but Durov reportedly claimed that his resignation, dated March 21st, was an April Fools’ prank. TechCrunch implies that it was a matter of principle, but it’s hard to be clear on the wheres, whos and whys. Similarly, on April 17th, the Moscow Times quoted Durov as saying that he quit the company after being pressured to reveal account details about Ukrainians protesting the then-president Viktor Yanukovych. Such instructions could actually endanger people — citizens receive air strike warnings via smartphone alerts. Despite Telegram's origins, its approach to users' security has privacy advocates worried. Artem Kliuchnikov and his family fled Ukraine just days before the Russian invasion.
