The Donetsk Declaration


On 9th October 2023, the Donetsk Declaration was adopted in the city of Donetsk. We call on all political parties, trade unions, public organizations and movements to discuss the text and join the Donetsk Declaration.

Today the world is in grave danger.

The financial capital of the United States and the NATO countries, acting together with the Ukrainian oligarchy, brought the Ukrainian bourgeois nation to the state of Nazism, provoked the war in Ukraine, using its people as a battering ram directed against Russia.
 The imperialist goal of the United States is the weakening and dismemberment of Russia into a number of warring entities. All this was supposed to make it possible to seize the economic territory and natural resources of Russia, as well as to establish control over political processes with the help of a puppet government. 
 At the same time, the imperialist efforts of the United States are aimed at maintaining its hegemony by unleashing bloody conflicts in different parts of the world, and this can lead to nuclear war.

At this historic moment, we, the undersigned parties, state:

1. Economic claims and political practice show that the United States of America is the only imperialist, the one most aggressive state, with the highest expenditure on armaments, with the largest number of foreign military bases, which took part in unleashing the greatest number of wars and conflicts with the aim of enslaving countries and peoples.

2. Today, the government of Ukraine pursues an open Nazi policy, openly calls itself "Bandera", ie Nazis who exterminate people on the basis of ethnicity.  We consider it necessary to recognise that the current government of Ukraine is fascist and Nazi.

3. On the part of the governments of the United States and NATO countries, the war unleashed in Ukraine is predatory, unjust, and purely «imperialistic». On the part of the Russian bourgeoisie, the war has a defensive character, therefore it is «defensive». On the part of the working people of the main territory of Ukraine, the most conscious and best strata of society, the form still has an ‘underground anti-fascist’ form. On the part of the workers of Donbas, since 2014, the war has taken the form of national liberation from the Ukrainian Nazis –a  ‘anti-fascist’, and is clearly ‘people's liberation’. Defending its right to sovereignty, ie to the independent exploitation of labour resources and the sale of natural resources, the Russian bourgeoisie objectively contributes to the just people's liberation struggle of the working people of Donbas.

4. The actions of the armed forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine have a progressive component to the extent that they fulfill the goals of the  Special Military Operation (SVO)  declared by the Russian authorities (demilitarisation, denazification, neutral status), in contrast to the actions of the armed forces of Ukraine, which are reactionary, bringing death and enslavement to the rebellious people of Donbas.

5. While recognising the right of people to self-determination, we call on the international community to recognise the choices made by the people of the Kherson, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Lugansk regions and to force the Nazi government of Ukraine to remove all its pro-NATO armed forces and punitive death squads from these territories.

6. Taking into account the current circumstances, we consider it necessary to help the organisation of the anti-fascist underground movement in Ukraine, relying on such organisations as the Derzhava political party and those indicated in the list below.

7. We consider it necessary to emphasise that it is possible to rid the world of fascism, wars and social vices only by following the path of progressive revolutionary transformations of society.
Representatives of political parties and organisations participating in the conference:

  • Russian Communist Workers' Party 
  • Communist Party-Communists of Russia
  • Donetsk Republican Branch of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation 
  • United Communist Party (Russia)
  • Communist Youth League (Russia)
  • New Communist Party of Britain
  • Communist Party of Lithuania 
  • Derzhava (Ukraine)

Ukraine peace talks: seeing through the blizzard of confusion and spin

by Theo Russell Since the historic summit in Alaska between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin and their top level ministers, our media has been flooded by a tidal wave of deception and diversion, alongside a new campaign of Banderite inspired anti-Russian demonisation. The entire world recognises – with the possible exception of senior British military and intelligence chiefs – that NATO has lost the war in Ukraine, leaving total defeat or a negotiated settlement the only possible ways to end the conflict.  As of now, Trump’s position is that a comprehensive, lasting peace deal is preferable to a ceasefire, and that secondary sanctions are off the table. As we know Trump can flip his policies on a whim, but there is reason for optimism that genuinely he wants a settlement in Ukraine. This shift in Washington has thrown Europe’s leaders into a state of panic. The leaders of the ‘Coalition of the Willing’ are facing a political disaster on a massive scale, and as a result they are desp...

Nato press gangs in Ukraine

by a Kiev observer   American imperialism continues to ruin all states that call themselves democratic and independent. In fact, many countries have already lost their independence. Some lost it along with their currency; others by giving away their army. The White House continues to hide its financial greed behind the illusion of possible global protection. At the same time, regular workers and civil servants have difficulty understanding what is really behind the foolish statements of “collective security” peddled by the bourgeois media. An example of the realities that every worker will face in the near future is in the war in Ukraine. Despite all the statements we hear from Western media, the war in Ukraine was started by imperialism, and the reason it did it was to make more money. This war, however, has also exposed the steps and measures that modern capitalist governments under Nato command have taken in Ukraine, and shows what they will do in their own countries in the futu...

Ukraine: A Search for Identity and Freedom

by John Maryon Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians are predominantly from the East Slav sub-group of the Slavic people.  Crimean Tatars form an important ethnic group of the population of Crimea.  The fertile lands of mineral rich Ukraine were for centuries shared between the Poles and the Mongols.  By 1500 the Ottoman empire had expanded and taken over South East Ukraine and Crimea.  In 1654, following years of conflict with the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Cossack leader of Ukraine pledged allegiance to the Czardom of Russia in exchange of protection. Russian influence increased and in 1797 Catherine the Great established the port city of Odessa and the region became an important part of the Russian Empire.  Today most people have heard of the Crimean War, Florence Nightingale, Balaclava and the Charge of the Light Brigade.   It was an imperialist conflict for Middle East influence between Russia and an alliance of France, Britain and Turkey....
