Benefit for Ruslan Sidiki, Russian Anarchist partisan
Waar: MKZ, Eerste Schinkelstraat 14-16, Amsterdam, Netherlands
Wanneer: 08/08/2025 - 19:00
We are organizing a voku to support anarchist and partisan Ruslan Sidiki, who has been sentenced to 29 years for acts of sabotage against Russian military infrastructure.
Sidiki, a dual citizen of Russia and Italy, carried out two attacks in 2023. The first took place in the summer, when he attempted to strike the Dyagilevo military airfield near his home in the Ryazan Region using drones. He later explained that the sound of military aircraft overhead coincided with Russian strikes on Ukraine, which influenced his choice of target. Despite the attack, authorities failed to identify or apprehend Sidiki at the time.
The second act of sabotage occurred in November 2023, when Sidiki planted explosives on a military railway line, causing 19 freight cars to derail. He stated that this line was used to transport fuel and equipment to Russian forces fighting in Ukraine.
Ruslan was later arrested and tortured by the Russian security services. Despite the risk he faces in prison, Sidiki openly expresses his views and has described in detail the acts of sabotage he carried out. You can read his court statement here: https://en.zona.media/article/2025/05/23/sidiki29
Being in a Russian prison is a serious ordeal, so any material support is important — including funds for legal fees, as the lawyer is the prisoner's only link to the outside world.
Come and eat at MKZ, Amsterdam, to support Ruslan. You’ll also have the opportunity to sign cards and write letters to show your solidarity.
