​​The words of a Siberian battalion fighter with the call sign Pirate, a native of Kaliningrad, who chose the war for freedom over a comfortable life in the heart of the empire. We send our regards to comrade and wish him inspiration in the fight against ruzzian fascism!"I have always had a keen sense of justice. That is why, when Putin started the imperial war against Ukraine, I decided to fight with arms in my hands for the freedom of the Ukrainian people, for the freedom of Russian citizens and indigenous peoples enslaved by Russia. At the age of 24, I became interested in the ideals of anarchism and then realized that I was living in a fascist state, started going to rallies in support of political prisoners, and very quickly became disillusioned with this way of fighting the regime. I studied maritime engineering, worked on ships, had a good salary, had a lot to lose, but when the war broke out, my conscience did not allow me to continue to lead my normal life and turn a blind eye to the crimes committed by the Russian army. That is why I am here."
