🟥✊To remember means to fight!

On May 8 and 9, PSL (Post-Soviet Left) activists took part in memorial events to use them as a platform for dialogue with migrants from post-Soviet countries.

🇩🇪 In Berlin, we intervened in the memorial events in Treptower Park to show that resistance to nationalism and war can and should be uncompromising. During the event, we repeatedly entered into dialogue with people of different views, including our direct opponents - nationalists of all countries, showing that a left-wing alternative is possible.

During our event, we also attracted the attention of journalists from Tagesspiegel and the BBC Russian service.

The next day, the German police did not allow our propaganda materials under the pretext of "fighting the symbols of aggression", not taking into account the fact that the content of the poster was clearly the opposite. However, the German police often turned a blind eye to the openly conspiratorial and xenophobic materials of Russian and Ukrainian nationalists, which speaks volumes about their priorities.

🇫🇷 In Paris, we laid flowers at the monument to the Soviet anti-fascist partisan, and also launched our campaign at the Immortal Regiment, which split into pro-Putin and anti-war parts. The latter was closer to us, and we focused the attention of those gathered on the fact that war is a product of capitalism, and to fight it, international solidarity and organization in the fight are needed.

Despite disagreements with some of those who came, we also received many words of support and made new contacts.

Against aggression, capitalism and compromises!
