Anti-fascist Yuri Samoylenko died in battle in Kharkiv region

"Since the first days of war your footprints were seen..."

Resistance committee announced death of Yuri "Yanov" Samoylenko in the battle of Kharkiv region. He was strong and noble person, who was able to combine idealism, commitment, smartness and courage. At the same time he was capable to be a leader, organizer and combat officer.

Yuriy was old participant of the antifascist movement. He was one of the few who had strategical vision where we should go.

In his last battle he was walking first in line.

We will always remember you! And your memory will move us forward in our struggle.

Currently, Autonomous Action is working for the recovery of libertarian and anarchist movement in Russia, after a long period of stagnation and repressions and we need your help to improve our site. Join our campaign to raise money on Firefund, you only have 3 days left to do that!
