On weekends I meet with activists and supporters; we discuss further strategic plans and participate in actions and campaigns. Right now one of the most important strategic goals is to get Russian citizens to understand their own interests, which is necessary if we\u2019re to build unity against the deliberate fragmenting of the oppressed classes, against solidarities between exploiters and exploited, etc. We also want to focus on trade union (labour) slogans! It\u2019s important not only to say\/write, \u201cNo to war,\u201d but also to explain what war leads to, if active measures are not taken to challenge it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Bonapartist France\u2019s localized war with Austria, France hoped to drown the liberationist aspirations of the Italian people, while hypocritically advertising this war as the &#8220;liberation of Italy.&#8221; Then the people considered it their duty to tear off from the ruler the mask of the \u201cliberator\u201d and \u201cdefender of nationalities,\u201d just as currently in Russia, activists are fighting to show the bloody face of the dictator and the system that produced him. Since February 24, 2022, it has been officially confirmed that the Antichrist depicted on old Italian frescos is indeed Putin.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>Marie:<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently in Russia, forms of protest familiar to Russians, such as rallies or pickets, are easily suppressed. People carrying posters in the city centres are detained within two to three minutes; in St. Petersburg and Moscow, anti-war rallies were quite massive, and in Kazan people went out onto the main street, but there were relatively few opportunities for people to act jointly. By the way, one sad feature of Russian rallies is that people are afraid to resist the police (to get into a fight with the police or just defend their comrades), because they\u2019re threatened with a criminal offence if they do so. The body of a police or National Guard officer is given a status of inviolability, so those officers feel their power on the street and are ready to lay charges against protesters even for a paper cup thrown in their direction. All of this further divides people who gather together to advocate for shared demands.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That is why a different trend is now gaining momentum: \u201cinconspicuous\u201d protest, or short and vivid actions and performances. By inconspicuous protest, I mean cases where people act anonymously and without witnesses. This can be anything from innocent postering of leaflets (which is now also punishable \u2013 new legislation has appeared that prosecutes those who spread \u201cfake information\u201d about the war and anything discrediting the Russian armed forces), to more radical actions such as setting fire to a military registration and enlistment office, or so-called \u201cpartizaning\u201d<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">on railroads, which has included <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">several anonymous groups in Russia destroying railways or stopping trains. Every week there is news about derailed freight trains<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for the left in this situation, the most common ideas heard in left circles are about the creation of trade unions and self-organization in the workplace.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>Midnight Sun:<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Tsarist and post-Soviet concept of \u201c\u0420\u0443\u0441\u0441\u043a\u0438\u0439 \u043c\u0438\u0440\u201d (Russkyi Mir) ironically translates as both \u201cRussian world\u201d and \u201cRussian peace.\u201d What are the current struggles and sentiments of working-class people in Russia \u2013 women in particular \u2013 and how do they relate to the philosophy of \u201cRusskyi Mir\u201d involved in this war?<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>Marie:<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The way I understand the idea of \u200b\u200bthe &#8220;Russian world&#8221; \u2013 this is the idea that the Russians are God&#8217;s chosen people, with an eschatological mission to fight against some great evil (usually Europe and the USA are implied here). That is, what is implied is the creation of a militaristic state, where the rights of people will be suppressed for the sake of Russia\u2019s highest mission, which will save the world from the Antichrist.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I suppose that in this conception, the working class is assigned the role of a silent executor of the will of the ruling class, and any protest can be perceived as a betrayal.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the current reality in Russia, such ideas often flash on TV screens, but in addition to these ideas, state propaganda has collected a whole bunch of scraps of contradictory ideologies; thus that<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">propaganda essentially expresses nothing, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2022\/03\/09\/1085471200\/the-letter-z-russia-ukraine?t=1651493981851\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">like the symbol Z<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. TV will tell us about the \u201cRussian world,\u201d and will also be nostalgic about the Soviet Union (it\u2019s now very profitable to talk about this in the context of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/economy\/2022\/4\/1\/for-isolated-russia-replacing-key-imports-an-uphill-battle\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">import substitution<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), and will call to finally bury Lenin, to the delight of the liberals. It\u2019s difficult to talk about workers\u2019 attitudes towards the \u201cRussian world\u201d \u2013 ideological and consistent fascists are still few, and the working masses are now rather apolitical, more concerned about their thinning wallet and swelling prices at the store. However, regardless of the outcome of the war, there\u2019s a risk of right-wing revanchism in society; we will have to prepare for this.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>Anastasia:<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The \u201cRussian world\u201d [perspective] advances the concepts of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Russianness<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chosenness<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> through a colonial lens, involving ideas of proselytism \u2013 to convert people of different nationalities and faiths, living in the territory of Russia or not, into \u201cRussian Christians.\u201d The concept of the \u201cRussian world\u201d perfectly fits the state\u2019s idea of \u200b\u200b\u201cthe liberation of Ukraine from the Nazis.\u201d Yet it would be more correct to say that this idea is not cause but consequence \u2013 a consequence of the state\u2019s aggressive imperialist and capitalist policy, which has also given rise to a patriarchal superstructure.

How would you characterize this social-cultural and economic shift, and how does it inform the politics of Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine?<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>Anastasia:<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The propaganda of the media and of the laws <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">conserves<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> skepticism, colonialism, and xenophobia in people, makes people look at the world through the imperial spectrum, where there are only the \u201cbad\u201d (a fifth column, \u201cnational traitors\u201d), the \u201cgood\u201d (Russians), and the authority on behalf of the \u201cgood&#8221; (the leader). Sexism and other forms of discrimination and oppression are instrumentalized in the structure of capitalist society, which makes full use of women&#8217;s social and reproductive labour to consolidate heteronormativity at all institutional levels for the sake of its nationalist and imperialist goals. Capitalist society in Russia needs &#8220;its own&#8221; people \u2013 &#8220;Russians&#8221; (men, ideally, but women can be fucked over no less, and sometimes even more) \u2013 who will go through fire and water [in defence of that society]. So off they went.

Do you see this movement as an heir\/successor of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com\/Antifascist+Committee+of+Soviet+Women\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anti-Fascist Committee of Soviet Women<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>Anastasia:<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main goal of the Feminist Anti-War Resistance (FAR) at this moment is the fight against domestic fascism and Russian imperialism, in contrast to the Anti-Fascist Committee of Soviet Women, which opposed the external enemy \u2013- Hitler&#8217;s Nazi Germany. The FAR is the largest anti-war organizing force [in Russia], <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">constituted by various oppressed groups<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: feminists, non-titular ethnic groups [that is, ethnic groups other than the dominant one in a given region], workers, queers, and people of other identities ([including those referred to as] MOGII: marginalized or multiple orientations, gender identities, and\/or intersex). Because this cohort directly faces discrimination in Russia, it\u2019s compelled to fight against it ([which involves fighting] xenophobia, chauvinism, nationalism, economic inequality, etc.).<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>Marie:<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea of comparing the Anti-Fascist Committee of Soviet Women and Feminist Anti-War Resistance looks rather curious. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sad irony \u2013 Soviet women fought against the Nazi occupiers who invaded the Soviet Union, whereas Russian feminists are fighting against war and fascism inside their own aggressor country.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of the FAR\u2019s activities, feminists of different currents<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">participate in the movement, so it features their various practices. For the most part, activists are engaged in organizing vivid actions or trying to convey information about the war in different ways. I like [FAR\u2019s] joint strike fund project with other organizations \u2013 &#8220;<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lefteast.org\/fundraising-for-the-russian-anti-war-movement-strikes-layoffs-resignations\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">anti-job&#8221; and &#8220;anti-war sick leave<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.&#8221; At present in Russia there is not a readiness for workplace strikes against the war, but support for and solidarity with those who were fired for their anti-war position are very important now. Huge economic upheavals will not be long in coming, and we need to be proactive, learning solidarity together and gaining class consciousness.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>Midnight Sun:<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have seen many instances of racism on the Ukraine-EU border. Comrades in the Global South have condemned Western hypocrisy as expressed both through international law and through the humanitarian\/military support provided to the Ukrainian resistance but not to people in, say, Palestine, Yemen, Iraq, and Afghanistan. What does racism look like in Russia, and what does it mean to be both an anti-racist and against Putin\u2019s war?<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>Marie:<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Russia, state propaganda loves referring to US military actions to divert attention and whitewash its invasion of Ukraine. This means that within the protest movement, it is somewhat problematic to raise such topics as the war in Iraq, for example, as this can be perceived as solidarity with the Russian state. It\u2019s seen as depicting the war in Ukraine in a vacuum, without an analysis of the economic causes that push states to fight each other. But it\u2019s necessary to talk about this [broader international context], precisely with the aim of understanding why wars are inevitable and natural in the capitalist system.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To speak of internal contradictions, the state is pursuing a vile policy towards national minorities \u2013 ascribing Russian identity to them as a way of declaring wartime solidarity among the nationalities of Russia (I\u2019ve encountered slogans like &#8220;We are Chuvashs and we are Russians&#8221;). At the same time, members of national minority groups from impoverished regions have also been sent to war. As a result, these people perish for such values \u2013\u200b for &#8220;Russianness&#8221; and for the washing machines stolen [by Russian soldiers in Ukraine] and sent back to their homes. I won\u2019t be surprised if separatist ideas spread in Russia: I recently saw one Kalmyk brand released clothes with the inscription \u201cNon-Russian,\u201d criticizing the racism and xenophobia towards national minorities that\u2019s existed since before the war.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>Anastasia:<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Judith Butler writes about a new &#8220;liberation&#8221; fascism (in Butler\u2019s ironic expression), whereby members of the poor layers of society have gotten the ability to hate other members of the poor layers of society and not be ashamed of their racism. Maybe the example is not very suitable, but I immediately recall the story of how, in my childhood, my Tatar great-grandmother (\u04d9bi, in the Tatar language) did not allow me to socialize with my neighbour in the village and called her \u201cgypsy,\u201d and [said], \u201cYou cannot socialize with gypsies, or else they will steal something from us.\u201d I don\u2019t know if she was Roma or Tatar. I remember how I tried to prove to my great-grandmother (\u04d9bi) that my friend was \u201cjust like us.\u201d Such inter-ethnic conflicts are the result of chauvinist politics that aim to atomize different ethnic communities.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am a Tatar, but because my appearance is unlike a typical Tatar\u2019s and I don\u2019t have a Tatar accent, I don\u2019t encounter racial discrimination (unlike my Tatar acquaintances). In this context, the republics\u2019 proclamations of independence from the Russian Federation become a significant issue (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I would like Tatarstan to declare independence, to become an autonomous republic<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). It is important to see the difference between the nationalism of the metropoles and the nationalism of the colonies, because the second is a consequence of Russia\u2019s aggressive politics, and the first is the politics of ethnocentrism and racial (national) discrimination.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is necessary to realize that Putin&#8217;s imperial ambitions are killing national minorities: in the news, without fail, reports appear that people from Tatarstan, Buryatia, and other republics are dying in the course of this war. A lot of them.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>Midnight Sun:<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the invasion, internationally, the left has been immersed in debates around some version of \u201cNATO vs. Russia,\u201d especially around calls for more \u201clethal aid\u201d to Ukraine from NATO countries. What do you think of this dichotomy? Is it a false dichotomy, and if so, in what ways?<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>Marie:<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Russian propaganda loves this opposition: they can scare us with the NATO army at Russia\u2019s borders and justify Russian war crimes in Ukraine. Like: NATO condemns us, but remember how they themselves have staged wars.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I don\u2019t rule out that NATO has its own interests with regards to Ukraine, but neither side [NATO nor Russia] brings peace to Ukrainians and Russians. I remember how, at the very beginning of the war, Ukrainians called on NATO to close the sky [impose a no-fly zone]&#8230;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">well, that didn&#8217;t happen; these heroes who are supposed to bring peace and democracy let the Russian army bomb Ukrainian cities.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I just want to say that it\u2019s an illusion, this notion that NATO is a noble knight from fairy tales who altruistically [takes] risks and rescues other countries and brings them peace.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, one should not be deceived by those who grind their teeth with hatred at the word \u201cNATO\u201d \u2013 Russia is not a socialist state and not, like the USSR was, a worthy opponent of the capitalist world, but an imperialist predator gaining in appetite, and socialists\u2019 pro-Russian position\u2026oh, how costly it will be.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>Anastasia:<b><\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The contradictory statements of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz that \u201cNATO will not directly intervene in the conflict in Ukraine\u201d and that \u201cRussia cannot be allowed to win in Ukraine\u201d are simply ridiculous. I want to know: will the European Parliament, Olaf Scholz, Joe Biden, Emmanuel Macron stop sponsoring Russia by buying gas and oil? Yet again, somehow, it turns out that the capitalists are trying to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pick the pockets <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">of those whom they publicly condemn.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>Midnight Sun:<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What should international solidarity both with the resistance in Ukraine to the Russian invasion <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with the anti-war movement in Russia look like?<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>Marie:<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently in Russia the anti-war movement has a &#8220;moralistic&#8221; character \u2013 with pacifist slogans and righteous appeals to the conscience of the apolitical masses. I don\u2019t in the least disparage the courage and honesty of the movement\u2019s participants, but it\u2019s unlikely that the whole public will rebel out of moral<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">motives alone. Right now, Russians are preoccupied with medicine shortages and price surges, but what will happen when the effects of sanctions hit in full measure? It is now very important for the left in Russia to monitor the growing discontent of the population and help workers cooperate and defend their rights, which will be violated in order to rescue business. At the same time, it is necessary to talk about who actually benefits from this war, who has funded it, and on whose backs all the hardships of the Russian economic crisis will fall. Time will tell whether a revolutionary situation is approaching, but it would be criminal for the left to stay asleep and not prepare for it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From an anti-war position, it is important to protest not only against Russian imperialism, which does not exist in a vacuum. It turns out that from 2015 to 2020 alone, 10 European countries exported military equipment to Russia worth 346 million euros; France, in particular, sold [Russia] 152 million euros\u2019 worth of supplies to suppress protests. Thus it is also necessary to criticize the other states and capitalists who have nurtured the dictatorship in Russia and are now profiteering from the death and suffering of Ukrainians.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h2>Anastasia:<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some Russians intend to go to Ukraine after the war to help Ukrainians rebuild the cities destroyed by the Russian army, but the only thing for which Ukrainians have asked and keep asking of Russians? Stop the war, protest it, obstruct it, and don\u2019t intrude with unsolicited help. Now it\u2019s important not to sink into the chaos of \u201cI am to blame,\u201d \u201cWe are to blame,\u201d \u201cEveryone is to blame\u201d (since feelings of guilt interfere with productive anti-war activities), but to grasp our collective responsibility. Free-speech liberals are very fond of arguing that \u201cwe\u201d are all to blame, that \u201cwe\u201d have failed as a nation, and the like. Their inflated egos vulgarize the concept of collective responsibility, shifting their ostentatious sense of guilt onto everyone. Such a position flirts with [the idea that we\u2019re a] &#8220;failed nation.&#8221; Yet who failed as a nation: Tatars? Kalmyks? Kyrgyz? Uzbeks? Finno-Ugrics?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Right now, our international solidarity must be based on the payment of reparations to benefit Ukraine. I believe that this measure is justified, because, firstly, reparations are a small thing compared to how Putin and Putin&#8217;s rule worsen the lives of Russians and have done so for more than 20 years (pension reform, &#8220;optimization&#8221; of healthcare, excess mortality, taxes that finance violent institutions, palaces for state officials and oligarchs, etc.); and secondly, if the war in Ukraine is funded with Russians\u2019 money, then why not help the injured side with this money?! It is also important to clarify that, first and foremost, reparations should be paid by the rich: officials, the nomenklatura, oligarchs, businessmen, etc. Their confiscated property alone could pay for half the damage that the Russian army has inflicted on Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-452feb13 elementor-widget-divider--view-line_icon elementor-view-default elementor-widget-divider--element-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"452feb13\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon elementor-divider__element\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-sun\"><\/i><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-239dc9e8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"239dc9e8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Anastasia Vosstavshaya and Marie are members of the Russian Socialist Movement (RSM).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-541dc6e8 elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone\" data-id=\"541dc6e8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4e0f7ee3 elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone\" data-id=\"4e0f7ee3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ebb1a10 elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"2ebb1a10\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\"><div class=\"shariff shariff-align-flex-start shariff-widget-align-flex-start\"><ul class=\"shariff-buttons theme-default orientation-horizontal buttonsize-medium\"><li class=\"shariff-button twitter shariff-nocustomcolor\" style=\"background-color:#595959\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.midnightsunmag.ca%2Flearning-solidarity-together%2F&text=Learning%20Solidarity%20Together&via=midnightsunmag\" title=\"Share on X\" aria-label=\"Share on X\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"shariff-link\" style=\";
