November carries two commemorative dates: November 13 and 16\u2014days of remembrance for two anti-fascists. On November 13, we remember Timur Kacharava<\/a>, a musician and activist killed in the center of Saint Petersburg, and on November 16\u2014Ivan “Kostolom” Khutorskoy<\/a>, a key figure in the post-Soviet anti-fascist movement, killed by a shot to the back of the head in the entryway of his own home.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To mark these dates, Nottoday, a self-published initiative that stands in solidarity with anti-fascist ideas, is publishing an interview with the Telegram channel “Public Incitement”<\/a> (Publichnye Zaklyvi)\u2014an initiative that documents the history of 2000s anti-fascism and monitors how forms of resistance are changing today. In this conversation\u2014what the movement was then, what it has become now, and how fascism manifests itself today.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In memory of Ivan “Kostolom” Khutorskoy and Timur Kacharava, we are also publishing a selection of tracks by Russian bands that openly declared their positions in the 2000s and were not afraid to speak out loud.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal Understanding of Anti-Fascism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 How is modern anti-fascism defined? What does it mean to you personally?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


<\/strong>\u2014 For me, anti-fascism is not so much an organization or a movement as it is a habit of thinking and acting within the coordinates of solidarity, dignity, and opposition to violence. It is a system of reflexes that helps you not to look away when exclusion and dehumanization begin. Now I am more of an observer from the sidelines\u2014I feel that much needs to be rebuilt from scratch, and the old forms no longer work the way they used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
