Little is known about the anarchist movement in Donbas before 1917. This page of the history of the region remained in the shadows for a long time due to the lack of sources and the attention of researchers. However, thanks to the work of such historians as Anatoliy Dubovik, who is also a former member of the Revolutionary Confederation of Anarcho-Syndicalists (RKAS), we got a unique opportunity to look into the past.

silence is a discipline taught to me since childhood. I understand those who are silent out of fear, because I know the reasons for it; I learned to be silent by watching what happens when you are strange: aya | out of this world | fucked up: aya | friend: aya | when you're crazy: aya | when you're queer I don’t really know what security is or I’m just starting to find out now; I know how to be invisible: oh for the purpose of self-preservation; be inconspicuous: oh, don’t speak until asked.
