Berlin: ‘Our socialist martyrs are alive’

Liberation: Ghost Brigade enters Debaltsevo and evacuates 135 civilians

The Ghost Brigade commanded by Alexei Mozgovoi, under the operational command of communist Pyotr Biryukov, first entered Debaltsevo, Donetsk People’s Republic, on Feb. 16, 2015. Three days later, the liberation of the town and surrounding area was complete.

Últimamente no sigo muy de cerca la mayoría de los conflictos abiertos a nivel internacional, así como la misma política internacional. Pero a través de esta entrevista pude enterarme de que el formidable comandante Alexei Mozgovoi, jefe de la “Brigada Fantasma”, donde la presencia de elementos revolucionarios era importante y donde está el Destacamento Comunista Voluntario, había sido asesinado.

Hay cosas que no comparto con Mozgovoi, pero creo que hay más cosa que me unen a él que las que me desunen. No solo fue valiente, sino que abogaba por una república en el que los trabajadores y las clases populares constituyesen la columna vertebral de la sociedad. Mozgovoi era temido no solo como combatiente, también por sus ideas revolucionarias. Era un ejemplo de hombre, un líder querido y respetado por el pueblo, ya que para el elemento central de una sociedad y prioritorio debían ser los hombres y mujeres de está, y no los ricos que amasan fortunas, acosta del sufrimiento del resto de la sociedad, sin oligargas. Nacía del pueblo, por el pueblo y para el pueblo. Era un patriota del la humanidad. Entrego su vida, por un mundo mejor, y creo que merce ser recordado. Era comunista. Sé que mucho no opinarán igual, pero les pediría que analicen quién les habla cada vez que les dice “bárbaridades” sobre los y las comunistas. Sepan porqué luchamos, cómo analizamos las cosas, pero no somos aquello que dicen, a pesar de que nuestra historia está llena de errores y aspectos borrosos de los que aún hay que hacer profundos análisis. También les pediría, que nos respeten. Sé que no tienen porqué opinar como nosotros, pero al menos reconozcan la labor que hacen los de nuestra ideología en Ucrania del este. Todavía guardaba este vídeo tuyo, Alexei, en el explorador (lástima que está en inglés la traducción, pero se puede poner en español, y entender el contenido, aúnque no todo, y más gente que habla mi idioma, que no son pocos, podrán entenderlo). En el se refleja la clase hombre que eras, serguro que no perfecto, pero si un revolucionario que luchaba por un país más justo y la dignidad de los suyos y suyaas. Por eso he decidido escribirte esto, camarada Alexei, porque me gustaría que todos y todas sepan quién fuiste y porqué luchabas. Me pareció una buena forma de homenajearte y darte a conocer, y solidarizarme con tu lucha y la de toda tu gente.

Hasta pronto, camarada comandante.

USA: Protesters rally in NY to condemn US support of Ukrainian 'neo-nazis'

A group of demonstrators rallied in New York, Wednesday, to protest against US involvement in Ukraine and the assassination of Alexsei Mozgovoy, commander of the Lugansk People's Republic's (LNR/LPR) 'Ghost' battalion. Mozgovoy was killed in an ambush along with seven other people on the road between Perevalsk and Lugansk on May 24. A pro-Kiev militia known as the 'Shadows' claimed responsibility for the attack.

Protesters held pictures of Mozgovoy, chanted and gave speeches condemning Washington's support of Ukrainian "neo-nazis" and the Kiev government. According to activist Gregory Butterfield, "US troops are training neo-nazis in Ukraine to kill civilians in Donbass while racist police murder black and brown people from New York to Baltimore to Ferguson."

International Action Center (USA) on death of Commander Alexei Mozgovoi

Today, we join with millions of anti-fascists and anti-imperialists worldwide who mourn the death of our comrade-in-struggle, Commander Alexei Mozgovoi, and four other Ghost Brigade members assassinated on May 23, 2015: Anna Aseeva-Samelyuk, Alexei Kalascin, Andrej Rjajskih and Alexander Yuriev. We raise our voices with you to demand that their killers be found and punished. And we demand the punishment of the fascist junta in Kiev and its backers from Washington to Berlin, whose hands are covered in the blood of innocent children, women and men of the Donbass.

Commander Mozgovoi displayed many of the outstanding qualities of historic revolutionary figures like Che Guevara and Thomas Sankara - a deep understanding of the peoples' aspirations, inexhaustible integrity, modesty, uncompromising principles, and the ability to rally people to his cause. And like them, he will continue to inspire people fighting for liberation around the world for many years to come. Mozgovoi was a fierce proponent of broad anti-fascist unity. But he insisted that this unity must be based on principles, not opportunism or rotten compromise for the sake of expediency. He was not afraid to criticize diplomatic arrangements that he believed gave damaging concessions to the Kiev junta and NATO imperialism. He spoke out against the encroachment of oligarchs who want to remake Donbass in their own image, not as true people's republics. He called upon the workers and soldiers of Ukraine to turn the guns around and join Donbass in a united revolt against oligarchy and war. He challenged injustice wherever and whenever he saw it. He was an internationalist who understood that solidarity of peoples is essential to victory.

The principles, courage and selflessness of Commander Mozgovoi and the Ghost Brigade should prod the conscience of every honest anti-fascist and anti-imperialist to ask - how can we do more to remove the boot heel of US and EU imperialism from the neck of the Novorossiyan people? "You can kill a revolutionary, but you can't kill the revolution," said the Black Panther martyr Fred Hampton. We welcome the determination of the Ghost Brigade's leaders and fighters to carry on fighting for the revolutionary ideas of Commander Mozgovoi. And we pledge to stand and fight beside you. ¡No pasarán!

By Victor Shapinov, Union Borotba (Struggle) May 27: To understand whether the inhabitants of Novorossiya support the militia, it was enough to come to the last goodbye for Alexei Borisovich Mozgovoi. People from Lugansk carrying carnations caught rides to Alchevsk. At the former local Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) building, now the headquarters of the Ghost Brigade, the entire city gathered: workers, pensioners, students, schoolchildren.

Another legendary commander -- Pavel Dremov – came to the Brigade Commander’s last farewell, along with Prime Minister Vasily Nikitin, Kozitsyna Cossacks, and Deputy Commander of the Lugansk People's Militia "Communist." Also present were our comrades from the Ghost political department, Evgenij Wallenberg and Vladislav Wojciechowski, and Borotbists Alexey Albu from Odessa and Evgeniy Golishkin from Kiev. Mozgovoi’s taciturn comrades-in-arms vowed to continue the Brigade Commander’s work.

'Powerful atmosphere of unity' at Mozgovoi's funeral

By Evgeniy Golishkin Alchevsk, Lugansk People's Republic May 27: We laid red carnations for the people's commander. Thousands of people believe Alexey Borisovich is a member of their family. I am confident that the Ghost Brigade will begin to see another massive entry of volunteers. In Kommunarovske (Alchevsk), people are faithful to Mozgovi's brigade and see them as their defenders. There is a powerful atmosphere of unity. The people do not despair, but pledge their loyalty to Alexey Borisovich and the fight for people's power. There is not only sorrow and pain, but also pride for their involvement in what is happening.
