“Pretty Texts Won’t Stop the Missiles”


We’re continuing the series of interviews with the fighters whom the “Solidarity Collectives” support.

During a trip to the East, we met the “Resistance Committee” soldier. Most of the RC members are anarchists who’ve joined the Ukrainian armed forces to fight against the Russian invasion.

This interview is about why anarchists went to fight as members of state structures. About the path from teaching kids tolerance to fighting near Kharkiv. About horizontality and adaptivity in the army. About working as part of a mortar team and getting wounded. And about why actions matter more than texts today.

Thanks for making this interview to Freefilmers and “НародВійсько” collectives.
