Nikita Kalin: Murdered Russian Antifascist
From London Antifascists
This Saturday 25th February, we will be laying a wreath at the International Brigades Memorial, Jubilee Gardens SE1 at 1pm to commemorate
our fallen comrade. We encourage all antifascists and radicals to join us.
On the 9th of February 2012, a caretaker at the “FIAN” institute found the body of 21-year old Anarchist & Antifascist Nikita Kalin. He had been
stabbed 61 times, suffered a head wound and multiple fractured ribs. Police arrested a suspect in connection with the murder, a nazi activist,
who had been found with Nikita’s blood on his clothing. However, fascists seldom work alone.
Due to the Police’s handling of the case, Russian Antifascists believe the Police will attempt a cover-up, as is often the case in Russia. Despite
this, the suspect has already hired a lawyer.
Nikita’s family and friends have a lawyer from a human rights organisation, but they still need money to help pay for the funeral. If
you cannot make it to the memorial demonstration, please consider donating to the funeral fund via Moscow Anarchist Black Cross:

After the fascists scored a major victory on the streets of Liverpool last weekend, it’s important everyone turn out for this show of solidarity and
strength. Lets show Nikita’s family and friends that they are not alone in the struggle, that we will never let fascism force us into submission and
obedience. Bring flags, banners and placards. Never surrender to the fascist scum!
RIP Comrade
