Sabotage and the Antiwar Movement in Russia
Ania Aizman speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2022.
Putin’s invasion of Ukraine exacerbated a stifling political atmosphere within Russia, leading to crackdowns, suppression, and the fleeing of dissidents. At the same time, many Russian leftists have drawn inspiration from the Belarusian opposition, leading to instances of sabotage and a broad “railway war” against the government. This session will take stock of the situation in Russia, the Russian opposition to Putin, and discuss prospects for the future.
