Some good news to report, Belarusian anarchist Mikola Dziadok has been released from prison. Dziadok has been arrested several times for his anarchist activism and has been in prison since the crackdowns in 2020. We recorded several of his English translations (see comments), his statement on his release can be found on his main YT channel https://youtu.be/spRRQn1faz8?si=9dkoy...
This is good news, but unfortunately many more are still in prison in Belarus (estimated 1300 for political reasons) you can send them letters, find out more about them and other ways to support them via the Human Rights Centre Viasna spring96.org/en

This week marks the anniversary of the 1921 rebellion in Kronstadt. The aims of the rebellion were summed up in the demands of the Petropavlovsk Resolution
Having heard the report of the representatives of the crews dispatched by the General Meeting of the crews from the ships to Petrograd in order to learn the state of affairs in Petrograd, we decided:
1. In view of the fact that the present soviets do not represent the will of the workers and peasants, to re-elect the soviets immediately by secret voting, with free canvassing among all workers and peasants before the elections.
2. Freedom of speech and press for workers, peasants, Anarchists and Left Socialist Parties.
3. Freedom of meetings, trade unions and peasant associations.
4. To convene, not later than 1 March 1921, a non-party conference of workers, soldiers and sailors of Petrograd City, Kronstadt and Petrograd Province.
5. To liberate all political prisoners of Socialist Parties, and also all workers, peasants, soldiers and sailors who have been imprisoned in connection with working-class and peasant movements.
6. To elect a commission to review the cases of those who are imprisoned in jails and concentration camps.
7. To abolish all Political Departments, because no single party may enjoy privileges in the propagation of its ideas and receive funds from the state for this purpose. Instead of these Departments, locally elected cultural-educational commissions must be established and supported by the state. This is the reason for the inclusion of this document in a collection otherwise devoted entirely to official publications.
8. All ‘cordon detachments” are to be abolished immediately.
9. To equalize rations for all workers, harmful sectors being excepted.
10. To abolish all Communist fighting detachments in all military units, and also the various Communist guards at factories. If such detachments and guards are needed they may be chosen from the companies in military units and in the factories according to the judgment of the workers.
11. To grant the peasant full right to do what he sees fit with his land and also to possess cattle, which he must maintain and manage with his own strength, but without employing hired labor.1
12. To ask all military units and also our comrades, the military cadets, to associate themselves with our resolutions.
13. We demand that all resolutions be widely published in the press.
14. To appoint a traveling bureau for control.
15. To permit free artisan production with individual labor.
The resolutions were adopted by the meeting unanimously, with two abstentions.
President of the Meeting, PETRICHENKO.
Secretary, PEREPELKIN.

Hi all, today I had a bit of a shock when checking out an upload on my phone. Before the opening bumper, I had to sit through two commercials. We don't monetise our work, nor have we replied to any of the "you'd be perfect for our brand" sales pitches in the email inbox, so that shouldn't be happening unless it was on some of our mirrored content which includes material copyright claimed (nothing we can do about that on YT unfortunately) is this a glitch or has this been happening to you too?
