More updates from Moscow ABC:
Also links to this, which seems to be an online tool for emailing Russian prisoners, if anyone has Russian language skills or fancies messing about with auto-translate for a bit - obviously I'd expect censorship to be pretty fucking harsh, but might be worth a try:

Assembly continue to publish their regular round-ups:

Incendiary attacks on military recruitment offices in Russia rise to 15 cases - three more during two weeks after the previous issue of this rubric. On the night of May 21, a Molotov cocktail was thrown into the recruiting station of Igra in Udmurtia Republic. As we can see on the title photo, the entire reserve room burned out (a little over 9 square meters). Unfortunately, there were no documents in the room, only personal belongings of the employees. A couple of days later, another enlistment center of this village also was attacked with such bottle - then the fire spread through the server room, where official documentation and a card file of veterans of the Second World War were stored...

On the night of May 28, there was an attack in Crimea. An unidentified one climbed over the fence and entered the territory of the military enlistment office on Selvinsky str. in Simferopol, after which he threw a Molotov cocktail through the basement window. The bottle broke on the window bars and caused no damage to the building. The watchman on duty tried to detain the attacker, but he broke free and fled before the police arrived. Bottle fragments are seized. The place is symbolic: this street bears the name of a famous Soviet writer, however in his youth he was a Black Guard fighter in the squad of Maria Nikiforova.


On the dawn of May 31 in Yasnogorsk, Tula region, a man broke the window of the enlistment center with an axe, after which he tried to set fire to the building. The specific method of arson is not reported. The fire was extinguished by the staff. Brave visitor escaped, the axe was found at the scene...

Anarcho-Communists Combat Organization (BOAK) carried out an act of rail sabotage in the Sergiev Posad district of the Moscow region - right on the way to an important military object. The rail joint was dismantled and the rails were partially separated. Eight nuts were unscrewed, which could cause a derailment of the train. They claimed it May 23, and official sources confirmed info from their post.


This section of the road leads to 14258 military unit. It's a secret training and tactical center of the 12th Main Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, which is responsible for Russian nuclear security...

According to allegedly intercepting a conversation by the Security Service of Ukraine, there was some unrest in Russian troops on the Kharkov direction:


- Well, another riot, fuck it!
- How many people are in denial there?
- As I've understood, the entire personnel...
- Repeat it!
- Almost everyone!


Another famous interception from the late May testifies that Russian contract soldiers in the Donetsk region nearly shot General Valery Solodchuk - a commmander of the 36th army - and his securities, who had arrived to quell the revolt and force the "refusers" to continue fighting. The soldiers did not obey the order, so the general fled the front line: "Our battery almost completely went into denial. He started waving his gun, shooting: “I, he says, will mislaid you if you don’t fucking go there!...” And that’s all. Here is a guy: “Go, he says, get out!” Fuck, he pulled a grenade, pulled the pin, said: “Come on, shoot me, he says! Together, he says, we will blow ourselves up here”. That's all. There, the special forces also began to poke their riffles at us, we at them with riffles. In short, almost shot all each other, the fuck. He sat down in his Bobik, left”. In the same conversation, the occupier complains that only a third of their brigade (over 600 people) remained, and the rest were killed or wounded...

Eta: guessing this story must've been covered on one of the extensive threads elsewhere, but it's new to me:

 
Libcom article on resistance in Crimea
 
Also as of quite recently Russian army recruitment offices, military industry sites, and railways used for military transport have all been targeted. In Komsomolsk-on-Amur the Rosguard building was set on fire, unfortunately those responsible were arrested.

But these targettings clearly show that people are going beyond peaceful protest now (as peaceful protest is not effective) and that support for war in Russian society is not as great as the Kremlin authorities would like to present it.

Hopefully not too spammy to crosspost here, ABC Belarus are desperately in need of funds at the moment - so not quite Russian anti-war movement, but certainly a practical way to support dissidents in trouble for resisting Putin's little brother:

Yep - In Ale Gasn. A great song and a classic.
OK, thanks.

Ah, just looked it up - feel like I should've known that! Still, always good to learn.

"In Ale Gasn" (yi. אין אַלע גאַסן; en. "On Every Road"), also called "Daloy Politsey" (yi. דאָלוי פּאָליציי; en. "Down with the Police") and sometimes referred in English as "Everywhere You Go" or "Fuck the Police", is a Yiddish propaganda folk song.

It is about the political struggles of socialist, communist and anarchist Jews in Russia and Poland between the late 1800s and early 1900s.

The song was originally a combination of two separate songs—"In Ale Gasn" and "Hey Hey Daloy Politsey"—arranged by Zalmen Mlotek, a conductor and arranger of Yiddish folk and theater music. The first two verses come from "In Ale Gasn", a labor song about the exploitation of Jewish workers which then they strike against. The last two lines of each verse are sung twice.

Its available on YouTube. There might be different versions and I think theres a bit of it translated in to English in one of the YouTube vids.

“I’ve blatantly sided with Ukraine. And everything is great — my neighbors greet me and nobody tells me to fuck off. I believe there’s unequivocal support,” Skurikhin said.

Was not expecting an opportunity to turn this into a klezmer thread, but if we're going that way, Brivele do a pretty good version of it:


Also, new chronicle of arson attacks so far, sounds like there was also an attack in Belgorod the same night as Perm:

Recent updates from ABC Moscow:

Priest of Russian orthodox church Ioann has been remanded, charged with spreading ”fake news” about Russian army, after he preached that ”peacemeakers go to heaven”, and ”aggressors who have attacked the neighbouring people will go to a hell, which they have chosen themselves”.

We have also included 36-year old blogger from Novokubansk of Krasnodarsk region Aleksandr Nozdrinov in our prisoner list. He is facing criminal charges, as in March he posted in his Telegram-channel a picture of a destroyed block of flats in Kiev, with a caption ”Ukrainian cities after arrival of the liberators”. According to the investigation, this was ”public spreading of purposefully wrong information about using armed forces of the Russian Federation”, as Russian ministry of defence claims that the building in Lobanovskiy street of Kiev was destroyed by Ukrainian rocket. 27Th of March house of Nozdrinov was searched, the next day he was remanded.

Additional reason of his persecution are his investigations about corruption by Krasnodar authorities in his Telegram and Youtube Channels.

You may write to Nozdrinov to address

They are arresting people who are not deemed sufficiently patriotic now:

In Putin’s Russia, the Arrests Are Spreading Quickly and Widely


Mr. [Dmitry] Kolker, the physicist, entered the hospital in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk last week for treatment for late-stage cancer, so weak that he was unable to eat. The next day, agents for the Federal Security Service, or F.S.B., the successor agency to the K.G.B., arrived and, accusing him of treason, flew him to a Moscow jail. Over the weekend, he died in custody.
