No surrender! Anti-racist mixed martial arts - tournament in Moscow in October
Please spread widely!
Physical resistance against Nazis was always an inseparable part of struggle against them. In fascist italy, as well as in Nazi Germany, youth groups were fighting with stormtroopers in the streets. Those groups consisted of left-wing youth, as well as average citizens of the respective countries, people who did not wanted to see Nazis in government and who did not wanted to stand by when their unhumane ideas and terror were spreading.
In our country a non-compromising war has been waged for a long time already, but few people pay attention to it, it is seldom noticed in television as authorities attempt to hide from the society the reality of anti-fascist struggle. Nazis also do not like to make a noise about their defeats. But besides this, our resistance is widely noticed in the field of youth subcultures, which never accepted immersion of Nazist and racist ideas.
For a long time, we do not count on authority and part of the society which only cares about itself. We learned to defend ourselves, and to decide what is better for us. We stand together in the street against Nazi scum, and we continue our struggle and will not stot, until only memory of Nazis well be a memory of a dark stain in history of the humanity. In order to develop our struggle, sport is becoming more and more actual, thus we decided to organise such a tournament. This tournament amongst anti-fascist fighters shows yet another time, that we are not surrending in front of Nazi onslaught, and the we will defend our commitment with any means, fists included. Do not go amongst the crowd, be strong! Enough boozing in the streets and in concerts, join sport section, organise your own sparrings, and our chances to win will be bigger.
Special guest of the tournament is Vitaly Gurkov from Belarus, 7 times world champion in Muay Thai.
Besides a tournament, there will also be a master-class on Muay Thai and Philippine martial arts, and a concert.
Exact time and place of the tournament will not be distributed in open internet.
This tournament is dedicated to memory of Fyodor Filatov, murdered 10th of October 2008. He was an example for all of us. During his life he was waging a war against those, who betray concepts honour and dignity, by humiliating rights of the weak, and he died like a warrior.

Ok thanks for update. However I supposed there was some "Organise" in Ireland also back in the 90's or around 2001, which wanted to join AIT, has it something to do with "The Anarcho-Syndicalist Federation" mentioned here:
