Никита Олейник

He will turn 31 years old. According to the support group, this is already the fourth birthday he is spending in captivity.

Nikita is an anarchist and anti-fascist from Surgut. Together with another defendant in the “Tyumen case,” Roman Paklin, he helped create the libertarian library Storm Petrel, which collected books on anarchist theory and philosophy. Nikita studied surgery at Surgut State University and is fond of philosophy, literature, poetry, art, and music. He was also interested in boxing and spent a lot of time in nature.

Friends, during the repeated psychiatric examination Roman was recognized as sane. Now the case against him has been reopened. He will be considered separately from the other defendants of the «Tyumen case».

Very soon in the case of Roman Paklin will enter a new defense lawyer. A new fundraisers for  the lawyer costs has been opened.

At this stage it is necessary to raise 2 860 € for Roman's defense. This is the first payment, which will be enough for 6 months of work of the defense lawyer. 

Nikita is an anti-fascist from Surgut, a straight-A student and a vegetarian, very intelligent and always faithful to principles. Nick dreams of becoming a surgeon, and studied at Surgut University, but dropped out because of the inability of the university to organize the educational process, because of bureaucratic delays and imperfections of the education system, which he could not put up with. He studied a thousand books on physiology, history, politics, and art. Nick initiated the creation of a public libertarian library, his first non-profit educational project.

In September, Yura Neznamov had to fight for his health and medical care. A neoplasm appeared on his leg. Later it turned out to be a small benign tumor. All complaints about his health were ignored by the doctors of SIZO-1 in Tyumen (where the defendants in the "Tyumen case" are kept). The lawyer wrote a large number of complaints and obtained medical care for Yura.

Six anarchists from Russia have been held in pre-trial detention for a year on spurious charges of creating a "terrorist community". According to Russian law, our comrades face a total of 5 to 15 years of imprisonment for the charged articles, and 15 to 30 years of life imprisonment for organizing or leading a "terrorist community". The main proof of guilt is a confession given under torture.

The support group of antifascists, defendants of “Tyumen case” issued a call for fundraising.
