Together we held an International Solidarity Forum: “Antifascism, Internationalism, Solidarity” on May 8, 2015, in the city of Alchevsk. Delegates expressed international communist solidarity against fascism in all its forms. There were many difficulties and organizational challenges, and we were suddenly faced with opposition from a group of anti-communist officials in the Lugansk People’s Republic who do not want to see the Lugansk region enter the socialist path of development. There were threats, accusations and sabotage, but we stood united and held this important and necessary event in solidarity with the people of Lugansk.
As a result of the international forum, we adopted a number of decisions, one of which was a declaration of the unity of all leftists who want to help defend the rights of the inhabitants of Novorossiya to self-determination and support the communists fighting in Donbass. And today, all who support the ideology of social justice, equality and fraternity in Novorossiya need international solidarity.

| Commander Alexei Mozgovoi addressing the AIS Forum in Alchevsk on May 8, 2015. |
Alexei Mozgovoi, who hosted the Forum, despite all the difficulties and threats, is dead. But while it is easy to kill a revolutionary, it is impossible to kill an idea. The ideas that guided him came from the dreams and aspirations of the suffering people of Donbass. Those ideas filled the Forum, which the participants carried home with them, ideas that became the engine of revolution in the Donbass.
Today, as we struggle to understand what happened and how to proceed, we are sure that there will be a lot of discussion and debate. However, now more than ever, the communists of Donbass need international support.
In connection with the death of Brigade Commander Alexei Mozgovoi, we ask our comrades to organize in their cities, where possible, informational pickets, laying of flowers at memorial sites connected with the history of the Soviet Union or the communist movement, or pickets at embassies of the United States or Ukraine with the demand to stop killing people in the Donbass, under the flags of the Ghost Brigade, Novorossiya and the red flags of the communists.
Please share and send us information about planned activities.
Long live international solidarity!
We will not break! Together we will win!
Fascism will not pass!
With respect and gratitude,
Maksym Chalenko
Coordinator of the AIS Forum
in the Lugansk People’s Republic

Let us picket the _Russian_ embassies! Also, I am so sorry that I have not yet discovered you until now! Anyway, let's picket the true murderers of combrig Mozgovoi, Russian president Putin, agent Valery Bolotov, and all their men! The embargo against delivery of \”humanitarian\” aid is already well-documented! And if anything, it could media attention, in the first place because anti-government protests do not receive media coverage in the United States, while anti-Russian protest might conceivably be mentioned, and in the second place because the \”puzzling\” sight of anti-Russian pro-Russian protestors could serve to reeducate the American people on the Ukraine crisis. I live nearest the Miami consulate; will anyone join me?!
