We address all of you on the occasion of the international day of the working class. A day of commemoration and remembrance, but also a day for gathering, reflection and action.
This first of May is special. This year our association turns 100 years old. A century has passed since the creation of our solidarity alliance of the workers of the world. A century since the Berlin Congress of 1922.
The invasion of Ukraine by the Russian army is only the consequence of a geopolitical and economic system fundamentally inhuman.
By systematically pushing populations against each-others through nationalism, by making the quest for power and the search for the best profit the ultimate goal of everyone's life, this system - constitued of the Capitalism and its ally the State- annihilates all solidarity and pushes to a frenzied individualism.

Statement by Russian anarcho-syndicalists and anarchists on the situation in Kazakhstan
We, Anarcho-syndicalists and Anarchists of Russia express our full and complete solidarity with the social protest of the working people of Kazakhstan and send them our comradely greetings!
The current explosion of social protest in Kazakhstan, one of the most outstanding and brightest since the beginning of the new century, has become the apogee of the wave of the strike struggle of oil workers and other categories of workers in the country, which has not stopped since last summer.
Eighty-five years later, the struggle continues, Ferrer, Ascaso, Durruti! They symbolize and remind us of so many anonymous people who gave their lives for the ideals of freedom and social justice.
When we took part in the 2019 climate strikes, we couldn’t imagine that further protests would be paralysed by pandemic. And when the pandemic came, it seemed that, with the apparent decline of some industries some, the state of the planet would improve, at least minimally. But it turns out that we are actually worse off than we thought. The last two years have confirmed that, if there is any hope, the necessary changes will have to address the real causes of the problems. And much more than just touch.
Anarchists and anarcho-syndicalists of Russia send comradely greetings to the working people of Italy!
LONG LIVE FIGHTERING TRIEST!
