🟥📕 Unheard Voices — a collection about left-wing political prisoners in Russia

Friends, we have prepared our new book to develop the ideas of our last year's brochures about left-wing political prisoners in Russia. It was created by activists of the Post-Soviet Left to give voice to those who are not heard — communists, anarchists and anti-fascists who ended up behind bars for their beliefs and activities.

❓Why is this important? Among Russian political prisoners today, representatives of the left movement occupy a prominent place. Their names rarely make it into the news of state and "independent" media. Mainstream journalists either ignore left-wing political prisoners altogether or deliberately keep silent about their political position. Therefore, their struggle often becomes invisible both in Russia and abroad. We don't want to put up with this and want to shed light on their fates.

📖 What's inside: short dossiers, biographies and context on famous and "invisible" cases - from well-known stories like the "Network" case, Ilya Shakursky and the "Chita case" to the new cases of Ivan Merezhnikov, Garry Azaryan and Leonid Bograteon; texts about prison conditions, the lies of the Russian government about anti-fascism and why the fight for prisoners is the task of the entire left movement.

📖 The electronic version of the book is already available in Russian and English on our website. In the future, we also plan to translate into other languages ​​and hold a series of presentations throughout Europe, and possibly in other countries.

Would you like a paper copy or a presentation in your city? Or maybe you are ready to help with the translation into other languages? Write to us on the bot: @postsovietleft_bot!

We ask for comradely distribution - tell your friends and acquaintances. Long live international solidarity! 🚩

We stand on internationalist and anti-capitalist positions and are building an infrastructure of coordination, solidarity and resistance. Join us.
