Words from one of the anarchists who died alongside Finbar Cafferkey in Ukraine

Foreign Affairs

My name is Dmitriy Petrov, and if you are reading these lines, it means that I most likely died fighting Putin’s invasion of Ukraine

As an anarchist, a revolutionary and a Russian I found it necessary to take part in the armed repulse of the Ukrainian people to Putin’s occupiers. I did it for justice, to defend Ukrainian society and to free my country, Russia, from oppression.

Another important meaning of the participation in this war is to establish internationalism by our example. In the days when deadly imperialism awakens in response a wave of nationalism and contempt for the Russians, I assert in word and deed: there are no bad nations. All nations have one misfortune – greedy and power-hungry rulers.

Slava Ukraini.

If you want freedom, equity and progress, sometimes violence is required. Civility is often taken too far, and weaponized against the peaceful

Wow, thanks for posting that, I had no idea. What an exceptionally brave thing to do. It's such a tragedy that good people still need to take such extreme steps.

The line "all nations have one misfortune" will live long with me.

Rest in power Dmitriy.
