Combat Organization of            Anarcho-Communists

While remembering the martyr Dmitry Petrov, who was killed on April 19, 2023 near Bakhmut, together with other internationalists, the fighters of his group, Finbar Cafferkey and Cooper Andrews, I would like to return to the article “To be an independent force”. This is one of the last programmatic texts of the Combat Organization of Anarcho-Communists, which Dima, in the middle of practical participation in the war and organizational activities, managed to write. And how was it written? It was November 2022, the town of Lyman. In the evening we returned from a not very successful assault on trenches near the recently liberated (and now newly occupied) village of Nevske on the border of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

Three years ago, the full-scale invasion of the fascist Russian state into Ukraine began. For the entire modern anarchist and revolutionary left movement in the post-Soviet region, including the Combat Organization of Anarcho-Communists (B.O.A.K), this has likely become the most serious test of our existence. We accepted the challenge of history and joined the fight.

Unfortunately, it is already possible to see how the struggle of anarchists in the region over these three difficult years is beginning to be forgotten. This must not happen. We must remember the martyrs and critically analyze the experiences gained in the struggle — only in this way can we achieve our revolutionary goals.

Vladislav Iurchenko (“Pirate”)

The year 2024, hard and bloody, has come to the end. It is time to sum it up. In the past year, as throughout almost the entire full-scale war in Ukraine, we have been working in two directions: formation of an organized anarchist guerrilla struggle in Russia and Belarus and attempts to fight the Russian occupiers in Ukraine in more organized forms.

Regarding the first point, we can say that the Lukashenko regime accused in the propaganda film “Children at Gunpoint: Recruited by the Enemy” a group of arrested young anarchists and revolutionaries “Black Nightingales” for receiving money from us. We will not comment on these accusations.

The dark day for the entire anarchist movement and for our organization in particular.

April 19 2023, near Bakhmut in Ukraine, our friend, one of the founders and active participant of the Combat Organization of Anarcho-Communists (BOAK), Dmitry Petrov, martyred fighting for freedom.

Dima is long-time and consistent anarchist. In the movement he was known as “Ecolog” but his activity was not limited to the defense of environment.

The attack took place some time ago. Unfortunately it wasn’t 100% effective but this experience will be taken into account in preparation for our next attacks. And to make it not only useful for us but for the whole partizan movement we decided to share it.

About 10 kg of permon (igdanite (ANFO) with aluminium powder) been stuffed in a metal case (paint bucket). We’ve used an interim detonator to ignite permon ~1 kg of ammonal-3 (ammonium nitrate, sugar, aluminum powder) in a plastic case (mayo bucket). To ignite ammonal we’ve used ~10 g triacetone triperoxide (TT) in a paper case (cylinder made of paper wrapped in duct tape).

The cell of Anarcho-Communists Combat Organization in Vladimir claims responsibility for the sabotage action on the railway of military unit 55443 VD Barsovo (51th Arsenal of the Main rocket-artillery department of Russian Defense ministry) near Kirzhach, Vladimir Oblast.

We claimed responsibility for previous attack before it took effect. The decision to do so was made to show all the partizans how accessible such targets for the sabotage are. For further actions we choose the strategy to wait until the result is clear – successful or not.

We, Anarcho-Communists Combat Organization, sabotaged railway tracks (coordinates: 56 16’44″N 38 12’40.5″E) leading to the 12th Chief Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of RF – unscrewed a several bolts and dragged the rails apart.

We emphasize that we’re not sure it’s enough for a train to run off the track, it was just a test sabotage so to speak, we wanted try out this method ourselves, and also to make it less visible so the train wouldn’t have time to slow down to a stop.

We’ve received a report about the arson attack on a cell tower in Belomestnoye (Belgorod Oblast) on the night of 17 to 18 April. This action has been planned and carried out by the group “БОАК-Слобожанщина” (Anarcho-Communists Combat Organization – Slobozhanshchyna).

Electric cables which ensure the functioning of a cell tower were wrapped in rags, doused with a flammable liquid and set on fire.

Cell tower attacks in border areas not only inflict an economic cost on RF in general (particularly tangible given the sanctions and difficulties in the acquisitions of new equipment), but also impede communications between police and military forces. Continue reading →
