Centuries of militarism of russian empire – Woche der Solidarität mit Menschen in der Ukraine

For some parts of authoritarian left Russia myth around soviet union was heavily rooted into anti-imperialism and constant struggle for the global revolution. Over 30 years after collapse of the bolsheviks regime we can look at the history of that formation and how it continued imperial policies of the russian empire before the revolution of 1917. We will also have a look at the modern Russian state that finds itself in the permanent war and continuous militarization despite promises of ending Cold War.

We will also have a look at the responses of russian anarchist, leftist and liberal circles to different rounds of wars started by the last dictator of russia Vladimir Putin and why war in Ukraine can break the back of the Emperor.
