A-Infos (en) Czech, AFED: "Anniversary" of the Network - Anarchists in Russia have been facing a fabricated accusation for two years. [machine translation]

On Saturday, October 19, 2019, events were held in Moscow and St. Petersburg to 
commemorate the fact that it had been two years since the police had embarked on a brutal 
taboo case against the anarchists, the Network. ---- Two years ago, on 19 October 2017, 
Ilya Sakursky and Vasily Kuksov were arrested and beaten up in Penza. They were followed 
by arrests of others subsequently accused in the Network case: Dmitry Pchelinceev, Andrei 
Chernovov, Arman Sagynbayev, Yulia Bojarsinov, Viktor Filinkov, Igor Shishkin, Maxim 
Ivankin, Mikhail Kulkov. ---- It has been two years since the anarchists and anti-fascists 
have been in St. Petersburg and in the Retirement Pensions, many have been subjected to 
torture by the FSB during that time. There is an intense trial in Penza every day, and a 
court in St. Petersburg has been stretched for an indefinitely long time. Two years are 
not just words, it is day after day filled with suffering and struggle, humiliation and 
hope, despair and solidarity.

The picket events in Moscow and St. Petersburg recalled the accusations of the Network 
case all these two years and demanded justice and freedom for them, as well as 
accountability to all the cops who tortured them.

Message from Vasily Kuksov and Ilya Sakurski to participants of Saturday's protest in 
Moscow and St. Petersburg:

Vasily Kuksov: Greetings! I would like to personally thank everyone who is not indifferent 
to what is happening for their support. But if I do not have this opportunity, I thank all 
who support us. It is extremely important. The essence of supporting and publishing 
information is not only that it can affect the time we spend in prison, but even more what 
internal strength and incredible energy is provided to us by every report of events that 
have taken place, every letter or postcard, that we get into our hands "from the other 
side of the bars." Our case is not unique, many other people are unfair in prison. How 
many were there, and still will be? I very much hope and believe that none of them will be 
forgotten. It means that we all have something to fight for together and everything will 
certainly succeed and better times will come! Take care of all, be honest and courageous. 
Even if you are listening to this now you are already:) I wish everyone a good mood, an 
optimistic mind despite the situation and great deeds! Vasily

Ilya Sakurskij: I have been trying not to think of lost time, torture and insults, 
injustice and malice, lies and pretense that I have been around for the past two years. If 
you were to keep all this in yourself, you would have to go crazy. Instead, I'm just 
trying to look at tomorrow's day and think about why it's all happening. Depriving the 
situation of meaning would mean perishing. One postcard I recently received said: "People 
from different countries have come together to support you. It will certainly bear fruit. 
We believe in you and you believe in us. "I want you to know that I believe in you and 
that this faith gives me strength every minute. I believe that solidarity unites many, 
even those who do not want to associate with anyone. I believe that we can all fight not 
only for freedom for political prisoners, but also for other equally important goals. I 
believe that we are all able to change the world, make it better and more noble. The 
suffering of our loved ones, the sadness we have known, the fear that gripped us for the 
two years of stolen youth - let all this become the price we paid for the opportunity to 
stimulate you to work, for trying to destroy injustice in the name of common sense and 
love. Let those who punish see and regret the consequences of their criminal deeds. Let 
them see that their methods no longer work, that they caused the emergence of something 
they wanted to forbid, punch into the ground, close. What doesn't kill us will make us 
stronger! Please do not take it as an abstract wish, filled with the flamboyant words and 
hopes of a political prisoner. I do my best to penetrate this text into your hearts so 
that everyone can believe in themselves and in us all. We will win! Good wins! Oct 18,
