For this year’s International Anarchist Prisoner Solidarity Week, Freedom interviewed the Anarchist Black Cross-Moscow to discuss their long history in Russia supporting imprisoned Russian anarchists, the challenges they face under Putin’s regime and their work during the war on Ukraine. Russia has a long history of repressing both political prisoners and activists advocating on their behalf. In fact, Russia is the birthplace of the Anarchist Red Cross, which later became the Anarchist Black Cross.
