Thoughts of a Russian peace activist

Ilya Kurtsev, a 20-year-old #Russian pacifist, has been in touch with the Peace Pledge Union about protests in #Russia against the #war in #Ukraine. Ilya offers #solidarity to people in all countries who are challenging war and #militarism. We are pleased that he supports the PPU's campaigns. He told us, "Your work against British government militarism is incredibly important".

Here, Ilya has written about the anti-war movement in Russia, along with his thoughts on why it is not stronger. This is his article.
