After the Russian military invaded Ukraine at the end of February 2022, anarchists and other anti-war demonstrators disobeyed strict anti-protest regulations and took to the streets to express their disapproval. Resistance to the invasion has changed since those rallies were put down in the months that followed. Targets of covert operations have included railroads, military recruitment centers, vehicles owned by zealots who support the war, and government propaganda messages.
The Anarcho-Communist Combat Organization is one of the organizations encouraging these attacks. Recently, a gang of anarcho-communists in Russia took responsibility for their second direct assault on Russian trains. According to them, these trains are crucial conduits for the shipment of weapons and other military supplies to the ongoing conflict in neighboring Ukraine. The “Anarcho-Communist Combat Organization” gang, which operates out of a remote Vladimir Oblast neighborhood west of Moscow, claims to have destroyed train rails there. The imagery of the sabotage, satellite images of the alleged military complex with loading docks, and a full analysis of the group’s strategies are all included in the claim.
To prevent signal electricity from being used to identify the sabotage, the rails’ 34 nuts as well as the 4 nuts that link each rail joint were unscrewed. The rail in the junction’s location was then raised, put to the connecting plate, and moved aside.
In the spring of 2022, the Anarcho-Communist Combat Organization first surfaced on social media at the same time when individual anarchists and anti-war protesters began filming themselves throwing Molotov cocktails at Russian Armed Forces recruitment centers.
Now, the recent news that has been circulating is that the cyber army of Russia is going after the Anarcho-Communists combat organization, which has claimed several attacks on Russian railways.
The message read “Cyber army urgent change of target!! We are attacking the website of the Combat Organizations of Anarcho-communists, and partisans, arranging terrorist attacks on the railway of the Russian Federation. We attack the enemies of the Russian Federation!!!!”
