January 15, 2018: Death of comrade Victor Anpilov, a leading revolutionary figure in the modern history of Soviet and Russian workers.
Leader of the 1993 Moscow Uprising against capitalist restoration, political prisoner of the U.S.-Yelstin regime, founder of the Labor Russia movement, “the conscience of the USSR,” passed away at the age of 72.
From a testimonial by comrade Maria Donchenko: “Our relationship was not always simple, but I want to say the main thing – he was the one who raised the banner in the fall of 1991, the day after the CPSU ban, when everyone was hiding in corners, he went out and raised the banner. History demanded that such a person appear, and Victor Ivanovich was it.”
“I am always trying to convey something that can’t be conveyed, to explain something which is inexplicable, to tell about something I have in my bones, something which can be expressed only in the bones.”
— Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena (via philosophybits)
