The Battle of Khimki
Wednesday, August 25th 7PM at M11

The Battle of Khimki: Russian anarchists take on fascists, the
government & the mafia in the fight to stop a highway.

Ecologists, anarchists, and antifascists in Russia have been fighting
to stop a new toll highway from being built between Moscow and St.
Petersburg. A reroute of the highway will destroy a forest near the
town of Khimki, outside of Moscow, where governmental and private
figures stand to profit handsomely off the selling of land and the
building of commercial centers along the highway.

Patriarchy is a system of domination which privileges masculinity and enforces strict, exclusive, and unequal gender roles, and which interlocks with racism,homophobia, transphobia, ablism, xenophobia, and all other forms of oppression. Patriarchy affects people of all genders in our interpersonal relationships and everyday lives.
