Happy Birthday, Sonya!

“Sasha’s birthday card to Sonya”

[1] We walk in the woods. [2] We go to the store. [3] We trim Mode’s claws. [4] We watch a TV serial. [5] We’re at the sea. [6] And all of this will be! Happy birthday!

Petersburg artist, antiwar activist and political prisoner Sasha Skochilenko, currently on trial for “disseminating fake news” about the Russian army’s actions in Ukraine and facing 10 years in prison if she’s convicted, congratulated her girlfriend Sonya on her birthday.

This is what the actual Russian antiwar movement looks like. It doesn’t look like Russians swanning around Europe and North America in search of grants and “projects” and relaxation. Accept no substitutes! ||| TRR
