On upcoming Saturday Stockholm anarchist bookfair will hold a presentation (16th in succession) of my book “The Colours of the Parallel world’ – a gathering of essays, dedicated to anarchist analysis of Belarusian prison system. I am happy to invite you there, and will be even more happy if you invite your friends from Stockholm on this event 🙂

В грядущую субботу на анархистской книжной ярмарке в Стокгольме пройдет презентация – уже 16-я по счету – моей книги “Цвета параллельного мира” (на английском языке). Книга – сборник эссе с анархистским анализом беларуской тюремной системы. Я рад пригласить всех, кто имеет возможность, придти туда. А еще больше буду рад, если вы пригласите своих друзей из Стокгольма на этот ивент 🙂
Around a year ago, travelling to Warsaw I have meet a guy from Finland, whos parents are Russian-speakers. A European citizen, loving Putin. complaining about “rusophobia” and being happy about Crimea “taken back”. Such a contingent is widespread in Czheh republic, Bulgaria, Latvia, Greece and even further to the West. It is a stalinism of 21st century.
Russian threat must not be underestimated, and it is good that EU started a campaign against Russian hybrid aggression, though this campaign should have been started at least 4 years ago.
55 dead in a single day. And just in a few kilometers away – satisfied, holier-than-thou, unconcerned elitist scum celebrating new geopolitical shift. The Masters never will face their relatives slaughtered, their houses searched, and being derogated each time they cross the border of their tiny ghetto. Just look at this picture and imagine it happens in Your country.
Israel punishes the revolt of the opressed with cruelty of middle-age inquisition. But still is a friend of all democratic countries.
For those who love to say “but Palestinians are terrorists” – victims among Israeli armed forces: 1 wounded. One wounded for 55 dead.
That’s a good example of how to prevent problems, which may stem from people with other culture, mentality and habits. Education instead of control, explaining instead of marginalizing and intimidation is the most wise and useful way to integrate refugees, which WILL come to “global North” whether we want it or not.
Unfortunately, many governments still prefer to get rid of these people, settling them in a ghetto, marginalizing, depriving of integration routes and than yield the fruits: xenofobia, rising crime rate and islamist fundamentalism.
Аказваецца, у Беларусі есць палітвязні! Вось гэта навіна! Жамчужнаму прыйшлося 3 гады прасядзець, каб ягонае пытанне было паднятае ў ЕС. Пра Паліенку ўвогуле маўчу.
Гэтыя фразы шчыра кажучы вызываюць шал і агіду адначасова. Макей толькі пасмяецца з вашага “разочарования”, а вусаты падцярэ адно месца вашым “сожалением”. Гэта сорт людзей, які разумее толькі сілу. А апошняга ў ЕС на сення вельмі моцна бракуе.
Карацей, Жамчужнаму і Паліенке пакуль сядзець. Нажаль.

Трэба мне былі дадзеныя для даследвання па прадмеце Applied econometrics. Узяў ды і зайшоў на ФБ-старонку Нацыянальнага статыстычнага камітэту, і проста так запытаўся ці есць у іх гэтыя дадзеныя і калі няма – то дзе можна ўзяць. Уяўляеце, якая наіўнасць развіваецца ў чалавека пасля 2+ гадоў жыцця ў еўропке? 8 сакавіка адправіў паведамленне. 12 сакавіка яго прачыталі. Сення 18 кастрычніка – адказу няма дагэтуль.
Пытанні “хіба цяжка хаця б нешта адказаць”, “навошта было ўвогуле старонку завадзіць”, “а як жа маё канстытуцыйнае права на інфармацыю ад дзяржворганаў”, “за што тады ім падаткі плацяць” – бессэнсоўна лётаюць у паветры. Ізноў прыходзіць даўно зразумелае – ты размаўляеш не з чалавекам, а з машынай, чыё імя – дзаржава. Гэта Беларусь, дзетка!

That’s how “State for the people” looks like
Once upon a time I was in need of some statistical info for my research on subject “Applied econometrics”. I have visited the FB-page of National statistical committee (a state institution) and just asked them, do they have such a data. And if not, where can I get it. You see, how naive people are becoming after 2+ years of living in Europe!
March, 8 – the message was sent. March 12th – they read it. It is 18th of April today – still no answer.
Such questions are “is t hard to answer at least something”, “why they need such a page, in this case”, “what about my constitutional rights for getting th info from state institutions”, “what are they receive taxes for” – are somewhere in the air, but totally useless. Actually, you speak to a machine, which is state, not to a human being. That’s Belarus, my dear!
Comments Off on Ваісціну гасударцтва для народа!/ That’s how “State for the people” looks like
Few time ago I spotted a video footage and a press-release of a group “Revenge of Marusia Nikiforova) (Ukraininan FAI fraction), where comrades burn an expensive car – Range Rover Evoque. Motivation proclaimed is class revenge and a fact, that, while may residents of Kiyv do not have ho water, someone shows off their luxury.
I also think that showing off the luxury is immoral. Buying cars, which cost as a life wage of engineer or a cleaner means demonstrating, that for you grandstanding is more important then social problems of your society and world. Needless to say that most of the owners of such a cars are bourgeois or high officials, of high managers. Needless to say that such a vehicles are highly harmful for environment. So I do not see a great problem if some of these cars will be burned.
But here another dilemma rising up. Where does the “plain good car” ends and bourgeois luxury starts? And, what is even more important, provided that many of us have cars by ourselves – how much the car an anarchist is allowed to use, should cost? The question is not speculative at all, because it’s gonna be a bit annoying if your car will be occasionally burned by your comrades )))
To be precise, i have googled the cost of this type of car. Range Rover Evoque which was in use, costs 23-39 thousand $. (average – 31 thousand). The new one – 49 thousand $.
Derived from what is written on a vacancies cites, average wage of, let’s say, IT specialist (who is also a proletarian) in Ukraine is averagely 700-1700 dollars. Average is, let’s say 1200.
Hence, if you save 1\2 of your wage (it is not very hard in Ukraine provided the costs are super law), average Ukrainian IT-specialist can save for such a car for a 4 years. Or take a credit for it without any problem.
So can such a car be considered a luxury? Apparently, this is a rhetorical question.
Of cause, majority of Ukrainians earn not 1200 but 231 $ (an average wage for January, 2017). But such a gap between the salaries of a workers (WORKERS – I make special emphasis on it) is not a guilt of a certain IT-specialist (or highly-qualified construction worker, or motor mechanic – they also may earn more then 1000 $ a month), but labor market, which is eager to pay for one job more then for another.
Therefore I assume that the question of what is luxury and who’s property may be burned, should be reviewed more attentively – of cause, if we do not want to make highly-qualified workers and people with high wages (but non-explotators) our enemies.
Also in Ukraine, as everywhere, there is a bunch of Maibach’s and limousines, which cost is exorbitant even for super-IT-specislists: from 500 000 $ and higher. Servants of the regime and employers, who fraud their employees, also have cars (not necessarily expensive). But burning random offroaders just because they look better than Ford Focus or Volkswagen Golf is no great thing.
Regarding on what car anarchist should and should not have: I think that for answering this question each of us should invoke from salaries in his region. If you live in Leltchitsy (a small town in a Belarusian province) and bought an offroader, which costs as 3 houses of your neighbors – it is a one thing. If you bought it, while living in Minsk – it’s another thing. And let’s be honest: laptops which we use everyday, are unreal dream for most of inhabitants of southeast Asia or Central Africa. And I do not think that anyone of you are ready to burn them in solidarity with workers of Ethiopia who are not going to get it even if worki all their life. I offer to consider to any anarchist (and every honest person) to make a border of a luxury a maximum cost, which in your region could be spend by a working person.
Capitalism makes inequality between workers as well. But if this inequality will contribute to conflict between us – it will not be fine. We should remember, that for exploiters and for the capitalist system we all: those who earn 100 $ and who earn 1000 $ are no more then hired slaves who differ, at best, with a length of a chain.
