INTERNATIONAL UKRAINE ANTI-FASCIST SOLIDARITY

  International Department of the Central Committee of the Russian Communist Workers Party  On the class understanding of the struggle against fascism and the mistakes of the “leftism” of the Greek comrades We have already written quite a lot about the spread of opinions among the communists on the issue of assessing the ongoing military operations of the Russian Federation Armed Forces and Donbass militias in the Donbass and Ukraine.
