INTERNATIONAL UKRAINE ANTI-FASCIST SOLIDARITY

By Fyodor Lukyanov  Editor-in-chief of Russia in Global Affairs , Chair of the Presidium of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, and research director of the Valdai International Discussion Club  The West has failed to get the rest of the world on board to support its confrontation with Russia.  The US-led bloc no longer offers the only viable model for development, which means its ability to impose its will is fading      The recent festival of big Western politics – which began with a meeting of the European Council, continued with the G7 Summit, and ended with a major NATO gathering – provides plenty of food for thought about the fate of the world.      On the surface, what we have seen is impressive: The West is showing unprecedented unity in the face of the Russian campaign in Ukraine.      America has gathered almost all of its allies. Right now, from Australia to Norway, from Singapore to Portugal, and from Japan to Iceland, the agenda is the same – to prevent the success

  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. Various, sometimes opposing opinions. The hot fuse of some comrades and even the hysterical impulses of some other comrades, of course, are worthy of attention and consideration. But still, first of all, we are interested in a scientific approach to assessing events. Vladimir Ilyich Lenin himself, in the preface to the post-revolutionary edition of “Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism”, wrote, “I would like to hope that my pamphlet will help to understand the basic economic question, without studying of which it is impossible to understand anythi

 Twitter Celebrity ‘Canadian Ukrainian Volunteer’ Deletes Account After Being Exposed as Fake by Ilya Tsukanov The crisis in Ukraine has been accompanied by vast quantities of misinformation, disinformation, and the emotional manipulation of people trying to figure out what’s going on. Much of the disinformation has been consciously spread by Western news media. Some, however, appears to have been created by individuals seeking Internet celebrity status. "Canadian Ukrainian Volunteer", a self-described member of a "four-man team" fighting in Kherson, Ukraine with over 118,000 followers on Twitter, has deleted his account after being exposed as a fraud. For months on end, @canadianukran1 wowed followers with tales of unflinching heroism and glory. In one post in April, he claimed to have infiltrated a Russian-controlled area of southern Ukraine on a bicycle while disguised as a Russian trooper. “Our contact had warned us to remain in the shadows and not to expose our

by Manlio Dinucci Two summits one after the other, those of the G7 and NATO, demonstrate that the West is putting on the ground all its weapons – military, political, economic – to maintain the predominance it is losing in a world that is becoming more and more multipolar, as shown by the growing development of the BRICS: the economic organisation that brings together Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, to which Iran, Argentina and other countries want to join.  In Ukraine, while the G7 is supplying Kiev with $30 billion, NATO is supplying it with increasing quantities of weapons against Russia. NATO's role is not just this, however: Pentagon officials interviewed by the New York Times confirm for the first time, with precise facts, that the command and management of military operations in Ukraine is in the hands of the Pentagon and NATO. The NATO Summit endorsed the new Strategic Concept, which defines Russia as "the most significant threat to the security of Alli

 “Our case is completely fabricated from start to finish" The trial of Mikhail and Alexander Kononovich began in the Solomensky District Court of Kyiv on July 1st, without the physical presence of the defenders but via teleconference. Under the pretext of false and groundless accusations, the two brothers, members of the Leninist Communist Youth Union of Ukraine  were arrested on March 7th, 2022 and tortured in a Kiev detention center. Since then, numerous Communist Parties and Youth organisations from all over the world, including the World Federation of Democratic Youth (WFDY) have demanded their immediate release. The EU Parliament Group of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) has already submitted two written questions (first and second) to the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs concerning the case of Kononovich brothers. In their first speech to the courtroom, Mikhail and Alexander talked about the fabricated nature of the accusations, expressed appreciation for the in

The whole territory of the Lugansk People’s Republic has been wrested from Ukrainian control, Moscow says. The last remnants of Ukrainian forces have been driven out of the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR), Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu announced on Sunday. He reported the news to President Vladimir Putin, the Defense Ministry said in a statement. Shoigu said Russian troops and Donbass forces had completely seized Lisichansk, the last major city which had remained under Ukrainian control since 2014, when the LPR declared its independence shortly after a coup in Kiev. Russia and Ukraine reported heavy fighting around Lisichansk earlier this week, with the most fierce combat occurring at the city’s oil refinery. News of the capture of Lisichansk comes after Ukrainian troops retreated from Severodonetsk, a nearby city on the opposite side of the Seversky Donets River, last week. The fighting for Severodonetsk had lasted for several months. Russia sent troops into Ukraine on Februa

By Dmitry Plotnikov The Ukrainian regiment adheres to its own brand of ‘National Idea,’ loosely modelled on Mussolini's Italy Despite the surrender of the Azov regiment at the Azovstal Iron and Steel Works during the fighting in Mariupol last month, the legend of this unit has turned out to be enduring. The Ukrainian command has already announced that new Azov special operations forces will be created in Kharkov and Kiev. At the same time, a partial rebranding has been carried out. A medieval heraldic symbol – a trident (the coat of arms of Ukraine) consisting of three swords – is now depicted on the chevron of the ‘new’ Azov in place of the stylized Wolfsangel (‘wolf's hook’) that has attracted so much criticism from not only Russia, but also the West and fellow Ukrainians. This condemnation is for good reason, as the symbol was used on the lapels of the SS’s Das Reich and Landstorm Nederland divisions, as well as the logo of the Dutch Nazi Party. The Azovites have rejected a
