ANTI-FASCISTS
packed the main meeting room of the Marx Memorial Library in London last
Tuesday evening for a meeting of Solidarity with Anti-fascist Resistance in
Ukraine, supporting those who are resisting the illegal fascist government in
Kiev.
Speakers
included Anatolii Sokolyuk, the international secretary of the Communist Party
of Ukraine and Alexey Albu, a member of Borotba and an elected district
councillor from Odessa now in exile who both spoke by means of a Skype
connection.
Albu
gave a detailed and harrowing account of his experiences in the Odessa fire
massacre that left him seriously injured and a political exile.
Other
speakers included Steve Skelly of the RMT union, Andrew Murray from the
Communist Party of Britain, Jorge Martin from Socialist Appeal and rapper
Marcel Cartier. The meeting was chaired by Richard Brenner.
After
a lively and productive debate comrades raised concerns over a memorial service
due to be conducted at the Cenotaph this Sunday 16th November on behalf of all
Ukrainians who have died in all wars. This will include the members of the
Galician SS division.
Comrades
expressed a desire to protest but under the circumstances to make it a
dignified, silent protest.
