Fundraiser for Those Who Escaped by Anarchist Black Cross Moscow

Support those who managed to avoid prison but ended up in forced exile.
This year, ABC-Moscow helped several anarchists facing criminal prosecution in Russia to safely leave the country. After evacuation, people find themselves in a new reality: without housing, without health insurance, and without a stable income. And even if the journey out of Russia is already behind them, difficult months still lie ahead — waiting for visas and legal status, searching for lawful employment, and dealing with everyday and medical needs.

How to support Russian anti-war movement, which is operating in more and more repressive circumstances?

Report on the evacuation fundraiser

After announcing the fundraiser to support the evacuation of persecuted comrades from Russia, ABC-Moscow received donations totaling approximately €2,000 (not including transfers intended for specific persecuted individuals). We thank everyone who took part in the fundraiser in any way! As we wrote earlier, during the first half of 2025 we carried out three evacuations, spending around €3,000 on them. Of the €2,000 raised, half had to be used to cover debts that we were forced to incur. The remaining €1,000 will stay in the fund that we use for emergency evacuations from Russia.

Fundraiser: 2200 euros for three months of legal work for Ruslan Sidiki

Anarchist Ruslan Sidiki remains in detention — and we continue to support him. Right now we need to raise 200,000 rubles to pay for his lawyer’s work for the next three months. When someone is held in a pre-trial detention center (SIZO), this is the most expensive period to provide support. At the same time, it’s also when there are more opportunities — for the defense, regular lawyer visits, and filing appeals.

Statement from Russian-speaking anarchists to Western anarchist initiatives: listen to the Ukrainian comrades!

This text is a collective statement of Russian-speaking anarchist collectives. It should have been published even earlier, but now it’s really the time for a consolidated statement about the war in Ukraine. We do not claim to represent the stance of each and every anarchist from Russia, but the need for a clear position, and contradictions associated with the war in Ukraine lead to the necessity to act as a united movement.
