Blitz squat in Oslo invites everyone to the film screening and a discussion on the 19th of January.

"The Moscow Mutiny" is an up-close account of the 2011-2012 massive anti-Putin protests in Russia and the role of anarchists and antifa in those. One of the main characters of the film is Dmitry Petrov, also known as Ilya Leshy, an anarchist, environmentalist, author of books and articles, and researcher of Kurdistan and the North of Russia.

In February 2022, with the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, he joined the self-defense of Kyiv and was killed in action. Petrov stood at the dawn of rebel anarchism, was one of the founders of the Combat Organization of Anarcho-Communists, and worked with uniting anti-authoritarian fighters engaged in a war with Russia.

The film is 110 minutes long and will be shown in Russian with English subtitles. The screening will be followed by an open discussion with those involved in the Russian anarchist and antifascist movement at the time of the film events.
We start at 18:00 and provide coffee, entrance is donation and everyone is welcome!

19 January 2009, two people were shot dead in the center of Moscow. They were Stanislav (Stas) Markelov, a lawyer and human rights activist, and Anastasia (Nastia) Baburova, a journalist and anarchist.
Stas and Nastia were killed by Russian neo-Nazi, for their participation in the anti-fascist movement. This became one of the last high-profile murders of antifascists in Russia, but before that, they occurred systematically. In many cases, it happened by orders of Russian authorities or at least with their acquiescence. But in the end, Kremlin nearly crushed both antifa and Nazi movements - in particular, the killers of Stas and Nastia received life-long sentences in prison (although most of their "curators" still hold top-notch positions within Russian elite).

Since 2009, solidarity actions of memory and solidarity take place every year on January 19, in many countries and cities all over the world. To a large extent, the murder of Stas and Nastia signaled the decisive turn of post-Soviet Russia to the quazi-fascist state it came to now. Removing both left-wing and right-wing political opponents (often by hands of the other opposition fractions) paved the way to establishing the authoritarian rule of Vladimir Putin and his gang. In many ways, the annexation of the Crimea in 2014 and the start of the Ukrainian war in 2022 had their beginning in these gunshots in Moscow on January 19, 2009.

Our movie screening in Oslo will take place on January 19 as well, as a sign of solidarity with Russian antifascists and anarchists who now more often have to resist not Russian Nazis, but the militarized Russian state. And the Kremlin turned out to be a much more dangerous enemy than mobs of sub-culture Nazis on the streets.

From fights with Nazis to a split due to the war. The story of antifa in Russia

The antifascist movement emerged in Russia in the late 1990s – early 2000s as a response to neo-Nazis’ violence: back then, the far-right was attacking migrants, homeless people, punks and anyone they didn’t like almost daily. Over the past couple of decades, the movement has changed significantly, having gone through murders of its participants, numerous criminal cases and now a split due to the war. Radio Svoboda (RS) recounts the story of Russian antifa. Author: Yana Sakhipova On the title photo – action in memory of murdered antifascists in Moscow, 2015.
