Fascist Murder in Moscow

Fascist Violence against persons with a "foreign" appearance and political enemies has lately increased in Russia.
Recently, the antifascist aktivist Timur was stabbed to death in St.Petersburg, where just some weeks ago an senegalese
studend was shot by fascists. On Monday evening, the first activist was murdered in Moscow.

Sasha was on his way to a concert of the antifascist hardcore-scene in Moscow. He was attacked on a crowded street
directly infront of a supermarket. They killed him with several hits in the heart. It took the ambulance more than half an hour
to get there, the attackers fled succesfully.

Antifascists from Moscow see the murder as a strategic act to intimidate the antifascist scene. The Nazis didn't kill Sasha as
an important antifascist activist, they wanted to kill anyone from the antifascist scene and its surrounding. "They came to kill.",
say friends of Sasha.

Antifa had had some successes lately and saw some fresh wind and some new people. They were able to hit the Fascist on
several occasions on the street.

The state takes position: on Monday the Police dispersed around 80 friends and aktivists who were mourning and putting flowers
at the spot where sasha died.

The russian activists need your support. Raise public awareness and don't be shy to get active in direct solidarity. Get some more

Solidarity is a weapon. We should see to use it sometimes.
