On Saturday, the funeral of our comrade Sergii ‘Pukh’ Apukhtin took place.

June 5, 2025

Unfortunately, in the reality in which Ukraine finds itself today, the reality of war, funerals are becoming an integral, ubiquitous element of everyday life. But their routine and inevitability do not make these losses normal, nor should they.

Sacrifice and dedication are traits that are certainly associated with anarchists and activists, people who choose to fight for the right to live a full life for all. In times of war, this sacrifice becomes even more threatening — it can become real and deadly.

We have repeatedly said that active memory is a form of struggle. Active means that the memory of a person can help others and teach them something. We would like to share with you the memories of our military coordinator, Olena, who worked with Pukh on behalf of the Solidarity Collectives.

In this small slice of reality, there is the same element of memory: memory that we can understand, accept and carry with us into the future.

To remember is to fight.
