Cities are often the focus of radical ideas – the audience is closer, more left leaning, the ideas find easier paths to resonate. But what of places like Ipswich, or Bury, or Lowestoft? S of Suffolk Anarchists shares some thoughts. https://organisemagazine.org.uk/2026/08/06/encouraging-anarchism-in-politically-dead-areas/

Send birthday wishes to antifascist political prisoner Savely Frolov Savely Frolov will turn 25 on 5 August. This will be his fourth birthday in captivity. Savely is an antifascist and anti-war activist from Moscow who worked as an extreme sports instructor for children and teenagers. He was sentenced to six years in a general-regime penal colony and fined 100,000 roubles on charges of “preparing to commit high treason.” He has been imprisoned since 30 October 2022. Savely Frolov was accused of preparing to join the Freedom of Russia Legion in order to take part in military action against the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. According to investigators, Frolov attempted to leave Russia for Georgia, intending to travel from there to Turkey, then to Poland and finally to Ukraine, where he planned to join the legion. Savely did indeed attempt to leave Russia after mobilisation was announced. At the time of his arrest, this was his second attempt to enter Georgia. The first time, on 29 September 2022, Georgian border guards refused him entry because they considered that he did not have enough money. On 30 October 2022, during another attempt to leave, Russian security officers detained Savely Frolov after searching him at the Verkhny Lars border crossing and took him to a police station in Vladikavkaz. The young man most likely attracted attention because his backpack bore the words “Glory to Ukraine.” The following day, the Sovetsky District Court of Vladikavkaz sentenced him to 15 days’ detention for petty hooliganism. According to his lawyer, Yevgeny Smirnov, FSB officers repeatedly visited Frolov at the detention centre and questioned him, sometimes without a lawyer present. After spending two weeks in the detention centre, Frolov was not released. On 14 November 2022, the court sentenced him to another 15 days’ detention, this time for failing to comply with border guards’ demands. The ruling stated that he had used a “smartphone-type telephone within the zone of additional security restrictions at the Verkhny Lars road border crossing.” On that occasion, he pleaded guilty. On 30 November 2022, he was again sentenced to 15 days’ detention for petty hooliganism. According to the police, he had been swearing in the street. Frolov denied this in court. On 12 December, a criminal case for “high treason” was opened against Savely, after which the court remanded him in pre-trial detention. Savely has faced pressure from the prison administration. In 2024, he was threatened with transfer to strict conditions of detention for receiving the publication Prison Bulletin (source). It later became known that Savely had been assigned to the lowest caste in the informal prison hierarchy. As in Azat Miftakhov’s case, we assume that this was orchestrated by the security services through prisoners controlled by the administration. However, as an antifascist, Savely rejects hierarchies and discrimination, and therefore does not worry about the informal status imposed on him by the administration and other prisoners. “He simply doesn’t give a damn about it, that’s all,” says a comrade who knows Savely well and remains in contact with him. We call on you to show solidarity and wish Savely a happy birthday. You can write him a letter or simply send him a birthday card. He will be glad to receive any news from outside.

When you wonder if these corporations and "services" are secure with your data, remember the bloody police are not secure with their most vital data. More than 100,000 UK police officers and staff have had their full names, contact details and force locations leaked on the dark web.

So going to share a little project we've been working on called "An Anarchist Compendium", in which over the following year we aim to collect and document those who have come before us. The first stage is transcribing the short bios, we have from a previous project, and then extending them over the coming year. We've also set up a public uploads, so if you'd you like to contribute... https://seditionist.uk/compendium/

I'd forgotten we made an "Ad" when someone asked "What's a Seditionist about then?" ;p

We here at Seditionist Distribution are just SHOCKED! SHOCKED we say! That Sabcat think that we Anarchists wouldn't clean the blood off the guillotine in-between uses, it's important to take care of your tools.

(Leipzig, Germany) Direkte-Aktionszelle (Direct Action Cell) take responsibility for torching two cars belonging to the Saxon Real Estate and Construction Management dept, in Leipzig. They cite the construction of a new police station in Leipzig and panopticonic new legislation. This would be the latest in a series of actions of revolutionary violence at the hands of a variety of Direct Action Cells across Germany and Europe. To understand the underpinning of their theory and practice here is a "Public proposition" which came out of Greek cells a few years back. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/direct-action-cells-public-proposition-for-the-constitution-of-a-network-of-revolutionary-viole
