Anarchist anti-fascist murdered in Samara, Russia

friends and family need support!

On 9th February at 6:30 in the morning in the area of the "FIAN" institute, a janitor found the body of Nikita Kalin, born in 1991. At 8:00 the police arrived, and at 11:00 am the police contacted the mother of the victim. According to his mother, Nikita was stabbed 61 times; besides this his ribs were fractured multiple times, and his head was wounded as well. No property was stolen. Currently a suspect of the murder is under arrest, as Nikita's blood was found on his clothes.

It is obvious that Nikita was attacked by a group, and police also told his mother off the record that the detained suspect is a national socialist activist and refuses to name any suspects. Besides the brutality of the murder, the investigation has still not questioned Nikita's mother nor his friend who was the last person to see him. Due to this, we suppose that there will be an attempt to cover up the case, as often hapens in Russia. However, the suspect has already hired a lawyer.

We also suspect that the investigation is working in the interests of the arrested, and thus support is necessary. At this point, a human rights organisation has provided a lawyer, but funds are still needed for the funeral costs.

Nikita was from a simple working-class family and never hid his anti-fascist and anarchist views.

In case you want to help the friends and family of Nikita with the funeral costs, you may donate to the Anarchist Black Cross of Moscow: http://wiki.avtonom.org/en/index.php/Donate

In the photo above, Nikita can be seen at a local meeting against election fraud, holding a placard which reads "We do not need authority! Liberty or death! Our candidate is self-governance!"
