Statements by Movement of Irkutsk Anarchists and Combat Organization of Anarcho-Communists, translated by CrimethInc.
In the current situation around the Wagner mutiny, there is no side we can choose but ourselves.
We do not flatter ourselves: the onset of this moment could take some time. From the February revolution (during which the generals participated in removing the Tsar) to the October revolution, nine months passed. From the Kornilov rebellion to October, two months.
neither the Putin regime nor Prigozhinsky are our friends. In this fight between two cannibals, anarchists should stay away—let them bleed each other as much as possible.
I find it extremely curious how it's "both sides suck" when it's Putin vs Prigozhinsky, but it's "the Ukrainian state has a right to exist" when it's Putin vs Zelensky. From a previous article where they interviewed one of the same anarchist orgs:
So the Putin regime is bad for the transformation of Russia to "a neo-Stalinist concentration camp," Prigozhinsky is bad for being some merc loudmouth who wants to raze Kiev to the ground, but the Zelensky regime is good for wanting to liquidate ethnic Russians living in the Donbas. But then again, crimethinc has always been sus for almost always toeing the Western line.
Are the stalinists in the room with us right now?
lmao

Certainly, but contra to radlib claims, the odds are low that any of us are Russian feds.
Yo.
Yeah, the only way it could be more anarcho-bidenist is if it was siding with Wagner overtly
I'm in. Death to Ukraine.
