This episode’s theme segment borrows largely from the recent Crimethinc feature The Ukranian Revolution and the Future of Social Movements. That article also contains links to a list of english-language primary sources and interviews from anarchists and anti-fascists in Ukraine. We also drew from the interviews presented in How Nationalists Took the Lead.

Believe it or not, some of the best, on-the-ground coverage we’ve found is coming from, of all places, Vice Magazine. In the ongoing video series Russian Roulette: The Invasion of Ukraine, Vice news correspondent Simon Ostrovsky has captured some truly historical moments and interviewed just about anyone who would talk to him. Hint: Fascism is always a “Don’t”

This week on the show, we reviewed three different publications: Dark Nights, the little sister of 325 magazine, Avalanche, a new bilingual journal with two issues out, and Return Fire, a British insurrectionary-individualist-anti-civ publication that we’ve dubbed “ultimate desert-island reading.”

Thanks again to A-Radio Berlin, who produced the interview with Belarus ABC that we featured in the show; you can find more english- and spanish-language content on their website.

We missed this in the news, but here’s a link to a statement from anarchist prisoner Michael Kimble on the work strike going on in Alabama Prisons. Prisoners are requesting phone calls to the Warden, the commissioner of the Alabama Department of Correction, and the Governor of Alabama, to check on the situation. Please call:
