Hello Steve and all!
I know PTVP, Unconform and so on. They are not clear anarchists, some of
them contact with anarchists and with us. There is a very good
hardcore/punk/ska-zine "Knifes and forks"(St Petersburg, the editor is
member of CWI), red skin/antifacist/oi band "095", connecting with us very
closely in Moscow now. There is a one problem for this concert - money for
it(stage, electricity and so on - about 300 dollars).
There's know any punk bands near RKRP - they have a big problem with youth.
But there is a scene of nazi punk/oi connected with B&H in Britan.
There is big hardcore/antifacist scene in Moscow and St Peterburg and
we(CWI) have some connections with them(there are few members recrouted this
year from hardcore crew). It will be good to know about Trot.
hardcore/punk/ska bunds in Europe and USA, it'll be useful in our work.
Comradely Ilya.

Тема: [ISKRA] Progressive Punk/HardCore in Russia


>
>Hi comrades,
>
>Earlier, Ilya informed me that on September 2nd there will be the second
>joint rally in Moscow of the Movement for a Workers Party and the Movement
>for Civil Rights - against the Chechen war and for workers rights. He said
>that this time he expects it to be quite large and hopefully with a number
of
>Moscow punk/HardCore bands playing at the rally.
>
>Then just a few minutes ago, my inbox received a post from Heli (of
Finland -
>see below) regarding a Vyborg punk band, called PTVP, in the Finnish news.
It
>reported them as antiPutin, anti-FSB and also anti-Chechen war in their
>music. As there are some red-brown stalinists who say, in words these exact
>things, I did a google.com search and found a few other bits of info on
this
>band (see below too). The PTVP are genuinely left/anarchist and
progressive.
>
>Ilya, or anyone else in the know - are there any articles in English about
>the left/anarchist punk scene, as it seems bigger and quite separate from
the
>smaller but growing nazi punk - heavy metal scene, which is so admired in
the
>publications of the RKRP? ISWoR will get a report out of yet another very
>ugly side of the RKRP shortly.
>
>If any comrades are willing to do any research on this scene- it would be
>great if we could get involved in linking up with western progressive
>punk-hardcore bands with Russian ones on a progressive pro-worker,
>anti-Chechen war basis. The possibilities are tremendous as the
>anti-capitalist movement grows amongst youth in general, including exchange
>tours that have a political aspect to them. The English language website of
>Russian Hardcore is > http://www.markt-for-livet.com/RussHC.html < If
some
>comrades are interested I would be happy to collaborate with a team of
people
>in this work - having collaborated with political bands in London in the

>Also - if anyone wants to help with costs for publicity, transport, etc,
for
>the important September 2nd rally in Mosocw, contact Ilya Budraitsis NOW!

>Dear list,

>"Putin, Putin, Putin, F S Blad" They sing.
>FSB is the heir of the former KGB. Blad means hore.

>"This period as a president is like sticking ice, trying it.
>When Putin is elected in 2004, it will be a start for
>a genocide." sais the singer of the punk band.
>The bands name is PTVP. Singer: Aleksei Nikonov.
>When they sang the song about Putin, even army officers
>joined in the song, writes Helsingin Sanomat.
>The journalist asks: Who did the bombings in Moscow,
>in the autumn 1999. Nikonovs answer:
>"F S Blad".
>This band is from Vyborg.
>Putin visits Finland, and we will demonstrate.
>Against genocide.

same
