This from Indymedia – an anti-fascist skinhead has been brutally stabbed while attempting to defend an LGBT Valentine’s march from russian neo-Nazis.  He’s still alive, but in critical condition and – coming not so long after the tragic death of 18-year old skin Jan Kukera in the Czech Republic, see Antifa – it is another unsettling reminder of the rise of fascist gangs, particularly in the former Stalinist countries.

News from Russian comrades:

On February 14th an antifascist activist was heavily wounded in Moscow by nazi scum. Now he is in hospital in a critical state and needs money for serious treatment.

This St Valentine’s day sexual minorities of Moscow were planning to have a little procession on one of the central squares of the city. But before the event it was heard that nazi boneheads were planning to ambush the parade. Representatives of sexual minorities rights comunity called for help from Moscow antifascists.

On the day of the event a big mob of nazis indeed showed up at the place of the procession. But instead of gays and lesbians a crowd of about 50 antifascist skinheads and punks appeared at the square and shooed the nazis away. After this the parade commenced, covered by antifascist activists.

But the Nazis managed to regroup and attacked one of the antifascist skinhead, who was cut off from the main force.. The guy was beat up and stabbed heavily and ended up in the intensive care unit in hospital.

His life is still in extreme danger now. Doctors say that even at the best he could stay in hospital for several months.
