Raising funds for young antifascist prisoners of Russia :antifa: :anarchoheart2: :boostRequest:
Parents of two Chita antifascists, Lyubov Lizunova and Sasha Snezhkov, are raising funds to pay legal expenses for the appeal against the recent court sentence. Sasha’s mum is a single parent, she had suffered two strokes and cannot afford to cover the legal expenses. Lyubov’s parents have also been struggling to cover the costs of legal counselling the past two years, Russian cells of ABC were helping them previously.
Total sum is €4,400: Sasha needs €2,000 for legal expenses, Lyubov — €1,200. Both of them also need €600 each to cover the parcel expenses for the next 4 months.
This April, Lyubov was sentenced to three and a half years of corrective penal colony, and Sasha’s—to six years of corrective penal colony.
In Oct 2022, the two were detained and charged with vandalism and “calls for terrorism and infringing territorial integrity” (the last one’s later changed to “calls for extremism”). Sasha has spent nearly all this time in a detention center. Lyubov, then a minor, remained on house arrest up until this April, then put into custody.

Sergei Yeremeyev, a Belarussian charged with blowing up trains on Baikal–Amur Mainline (BAM) is in detention in Irkutsk
On December 9 Omsk central district court placed Sergei under arrest until Jan 20, 2024 on the counts of blowing up trains hauling petrochemicals in Severomuysky Tunnel November 29 and 30.
Flames took over a train with 41 tanks of fuel, 3 tanks of aviation fuel, and 6 cars of iron. Later, another cargo train was blown up moving along a bypass track. As a result, fuel spilled over an area of 150 square meters. Four fuel tanks have burned completely, two more were damaged. According to the FSB, Yeremeev “confessed to working with Ukrainian security services.” They classified explosions as an act of terrorism.
State-affiliated media say, Yeremeyev stated his intention to obstruct military cargo deliveries: “I have testified in writing about ammunition being transfered by BAM; the aim was to halt their movements.”
Belarusian media Zerkalo contacted Sergei’s acquaintance, who had identified him on video. November 2020, him and Sergei both took part in general strike at Naftan Oil Refinery, which he announced publicly and even sent the statement to Tikhanovsky’s campaign. “Sergei was always poised to resolve things peacefully. Maybe he was tired that nothing’s being resolved… <...> Even though his face was airbrushed on video, I recognized him immediately,” his acquaintance speaks of Yeremeyev.
BAZA reported about Yeremeyev being transported by convoy to Irkutsk. December 14, our letter found him in SIZO-1 of Irkutsk.

The anarchist Ruslan Siddiqui is charged with railway sabotage and attacking a military airfield
At the end of November, the anarchist Ruslan Siddiqui was arrested on suspicion of organising the derailment of a goods train in Ryazan province. On 2 December, the Dorogomilovsky district court in Moscow sent Ruslan to pre-trial detention.
Acts of railway sabotage are now quite common in Russia. Partisans use these to block the delivery of military supplies to the armed forces operating on Ukrainian territory.
The derailment occurred on 11 November, 190 kilometres out from the Moscow terminal. Kommersant newspaper reported the details as follows: “Due to the detonation of improvised explosive devices (two bombs, each equivalent to 3kg of TNT, were placed 10 metres from each other on a bypass used by goods trains), a 300 metre stretch of track was damaged. A crater opened up, and the first 19 carriages of goods train no. 2018 fell into a ditch. The explosion broke the window of the train driver’s cabin, and the driver sustained non-serious injuries”.
The security services have also stated that Ruslan Siddiqui was involved in an attack on the military airport in Ryazan on July, 20. Four quadrocopters, loaded with explosives, were flown on to the Dyagilevo base.
Ruslan has now been charged with an “act of terrorism” (Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, parts 2.a and 2.v) and “possession of explosive materials” (Article 222.1, part 3.a). He is threatened with between 12 and 30 years’ imprisonment.
Ruslan’s comrades have contacted us. This is how they described him:
“As one mutual comrade said, ‘Ruslan is a person of action’. And that’s really it: Ruslan undertakes difficult tasks, without wasting words. He grasps the essence of any situation quickly and works out how to respond. As a friend he is always responsive, always ready to help. He loves adventure sports such as trekking and cycling marathons. He has travelled many times to the Chernobyl and Belarussian Exclusion Zones [established after the nuclear explosion in 1986, now uninhabited, richly forested areas]. Ruslan is a proponent of anarchist ideas, and the Russian military aggression against Ukraine distressed him greatly. All the more so because some of his friends and comrades died in that conflict, and people continue to die there. And now he himself has become a victim of state violence, and our support is important to him”.Ruslan is now in SIZO [pre-trial detention centre] no. 7 in Moscow. You can support him by writing a letter, and by circulating information about his case.

Fundraising for the defence of antifascist Yury Mikheev
Yury Mikheev, aged 18, was arrested together with Matvei Mel’nikov on November 10 on the territory of military section in the Moscow region. The FSB accused the young men of preparing arson on military equipment, including a 40V6 universal mobile mast, which is a component of the S-300 surface-to-air missile system.
Yury Mikheev was charged with preparing an act of sabotage, and was sent to a pre-trial detention centre. The young man is threatened with a custodial sentence of up to 10 years.
Yury Mikheev is an antifascist, who does not support Russian aggression against Ukraine. Yura became friends with Matvei Mel’nikov, who, like him, came out against the war. We still don’t know the full details of the case, but it seems very likely that this was a provocation by the special services, who corresponded with Mel’nikov, pretending to be partisans.
Yury’s friend says: “He’s just a great guy: he always supports and helps everyone. He’s the kind of person who will never let anyone down, whatever happens. He’s such a brilliant, interesting and friendly person. I sometimes don’t even know how all these qualities can be combined in one person. And I’m proud that he’s my friend”.
Now Yury needs help himself: legal defence from a reliable lawyer. Why it is important, we told here.
The group supporting Yury Mikheev are fundraising €4250. This is the amount that will be needed to pay for the lawyer’s work for six months.
