War
戰爭
On Thursday morning, Putin launched the biggest war in Europe since World War II. He hides behind the alleged interests of the separatist part of Donbas. Although the DPR and LPR were absolutely satisfied with the recognition of their statehood, the official entry of the Russian army and the promised one and a half trillion rubles. Recall that for many months, the cost of rent and food prices in Russia itself have been growing day by day.
在星期四早上，普京發動了自第二次世界大戰之後在歐洲的最大戰爭。他隱藏在頓巴斯分離主義者的所謂利益背後。 儘管頓涅茨克和盧甘斯克絕對滿意於俄羅斯對它們國家地位的承認、軍隊的正式介入以及所承諾的一萬億盧布。令人想起許多個月以來，俄羅斯國內的租金和食品價格每天都在上漲。
The Kremlin has made absurd demands of the Kiev authorities—let’s start with “denazification.” It is true that, thanks to their active participation in the Maidan protests of 2014, the Ukrainian ultra-right has secured an outsize position in politics and law enforcement agencies. But in all the elections in Ukraine since 2014, they have won no more than a few percent points of the vote. The President of Ukraine is Jewish. The problem of the Ukrainian ultra-right must be solved, but it cannot be solved with Russian tanks. The Kremlin’s other charges against Ukraine—about corruption, election manipulation, and dishonest courts—would be far more appropriate for the Kremlin to press against itself. Now, Russian troops are, in the full sense of the word, occupiers in a foreign land—no matter how this contradicts the expectations of everyone who grew up on stories about the Great Patriotic War.
克里姆林宮對基輔當局提出了荒謬的要求——讓我們先從「去納粹化」開始。確實，由於他們積極參與了2014年的廣場運動，烏克蘭的極端右翼在政治和執法機關中獲得了超大的地位。但在2014年以來烏克蘭的所有選舉中，他們只贏得了不超過幾個百分點的選票。烏克蘭總統是猶太人。烏克蘭極端右翼的問題必須解決，但這問題並不能以俄羅斯坦克解決。至於克里姆林宮對烏克蘭的其他指控——貪污腐敗、操縱選舉和不誠實的法庭——這些應是用來指控克里姆林宮自己更加洽當。現在，俄羅斯軍隊完完全全就是他國的佔領者——無論這與每個在偉大的衛國戰爭故事中長大的人的期望存在多麼的矛盾。
Russia has found itself in international isolation. [Turkish President Recep Tayyip] Erdoğan, [General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party] Xi Jinping, and even the Taliban are asking Putin to stop hostilities. Europe and the United States impose new sanctions against Russia every day.
俄羅斯已處於被國際社會孤立的情況之中。 (土耳其總統雷傑普·塔伊普)埃爾多安、(中國共產黨總書記)習近平，甚至塔利班都在味籲普京停止敵對行動。 歐洲和美國每天都在對俄羅斯實施新的制裁。
As we prepare this text, the third day of the war is coming. The Russian army has a clear superiority over the Ukrainian one, but the war does not seem to be going exactly according to Putin’s plan. Apparently, he counted on victory in one or two days with little or no resistance, but there has been serious fighting throughout the territory of Ukraine.
當我們準備這篇文章時，戰爭的第三天即將來臨。俄羅斯軍隊相對於烏克蘭軍隊擁有明顯優勢，但戰爭似乎並不完全按照普京預計的發展。顯然，他指望在很少或完全沒有抵抗下，於一兩天內取得勝利，但烏克蘭全國境內都發生了激烈的戰鬥。
Russians and the whole world are now watching videos showing shells hitting residential buildings, an armored car running over a senior citizen, corpses and shooting.
俄羅斯人民和全世界現在都在看著影片，顯示著砲彈擊中民居、裝甲車碾過老人家、屍體和槍擊。
Roskomnadzor [the Russian government’s Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology, and Mass Media] is still trying to threaten the entire Internet, demanding “Don’t call this a war, but a special operation.” But few people take them seriously anymore. As long as the Internet in Russia is not turned off completely, there will be enough sources of information. Just in case, once again, we recommend setting up Tor with bridges, VPN, and Psiphon in advance.
俄通監(Roskomnadzor)(俄羅斯政府的聯邦通訊、資訊科技和傳媒監管局)仍在試圖威脅整個互聯網，要求「不要把這稱為戰爭，而是特別行動」。但很少人會再認真對待它們。只要俄羅斯的互聯網沒有完全關閉，就會有足夠的資訊來源。以防萬一，我們再次建議預早設置帶網橋的洋蔥路由器(Tor with bridges)、虛擬私人網路(VPN)和賽風(Psiphon)。
The effects of the sanctions and the war are just beginning to be felt by Russians: Most of Moscow’s ATMs were out of paper money on Friday. Why? Because the day before, people took 111 billion rubles from banks: in fact, all their savings. The real estate market collapsed, and the construction of residential buildings is the most important branch of the Russian economy. The foreign automotive industry is gradually ceasing to ship cars to Russia. The exchange rates of the dollar and the euro are artificially constrained by the Central Bank. Shares of all Russian companies fell severely. Everyone understands that it will only get worse.
俄羅斯人民剛剛開始感受到制裁和戰爭的影響：週五，莫斯科的大部分自動提款機的紙幣都提清。為什麼？因為前一天，人們從銀行提走了1110億盧布：實際上就是他們所有的積蓄。 房地產市場崩潰，而住宅建築是俄羅斯經濟最重要的部分。外國汽車工業正在逐漸停止向俄羅斯運送汽車。美元和歐元的匯率受到中央銀行的人為約束。所有俄羅斯公司的股票都嚴重下跌。每個人都明白，情況只會變得更壞。

Only Putin Needs This
只有普京需要這個
The Russian reaction to the war in Ukraine is completely different from what happened here in 2014 [when Russia seized Crimea after the Ukrainian revolution]. Many people, including celebrities who worked for the government, are demanding an immediate end to the war. The removal of Ivan Urgant, the leading Russian TV star, from the air is noteworthy.
俄羅斯人民對烏克蘭戰爭的反應與 2014年(烏克蘭革命後俄羅斯奪取克里米亞)發生的情況完全不同。許多人，包括為政府工作的名人，都要求立即結束戰爭。值得注意的是，被移除的俄羅斯電視明星伊萬‧烏爾甘特(Ivan Urgant)。
The vast majority of those who still support Putin are also against the war. The average Putin supporter just now thinks that everything has been calculated, the war will not drag on for long, the Russian economy will survive. Because yes, it’s not easy to live with the understanding that your country is ruled by a deranged person—by Don Quixote with a million-strong army, one of the strongest in the world, Don Quixote with a nuclear weapon capable of destroying all of humanity. It is difficult to realize that, having read second-rate political scientists and philosophers, one can bomb a neighboring fraternal country and destroy one’s own economy.
仍然支持普京的絕大多數人也反對戰爭。普京的普羅支持者現在仍認為一切都已計算好，戰爭將不會長期拖延，俄羅斯經濟將會安然導過。的確是的，要生活在你的國家被一個狂人統治的理解之中並不容易——就像唐吉訶德擁有著百萬雄師(世界上最強大的軍隊之一)，和擁有著足以摧毀全人類的核武的唐吉訶德。即使只讀過二流政治科學家和哲學家的都難以理解，竟然有人會轟炸鄰近的兄弟國並摧毀自己的經濟。
Reveling in unlimited power, Putin has gradually moved away from reality: there are the stories about two-week quarantines for ordinary mortals who need to meet with the Russian president for some reason, and tables of gigantic length at which Putin receives both his ministers and heads of other states.
沉迷於無限權力之，普京逐漸遠離現實：不同的故事提到，有需要與俄羅斯總統會面的普通凡人需要隔離檢疫兩星期，和普京接見他的部長和其家國家首腦時的超大長枱。
Putin has always been a politician who balances the interests of security forces and oligarchs. Now the president has stepped out of this role, having gone on an independent voyage through the boundless sea of senility. We are ready to bet a bottle of the best whiskey that in the near future, Mr. President might experience a coup from his own inner circle.
普京一向是一個會平衡安全部隊和寡頭政治階層利益的政治家。現在大總統已經衝出這一角色，走上了無邊無際的衰敗海洋上獨自航行。我們已準備好打賭一瓶最好的威士忌，大總統於不久的將來可能會遇上自己核心集團圈子的政變。
Russia may meet the year 2023 with some other system of power and a different character in the Kremlin. What it will be is unknown. But for now, it is the dusk before dawn.
俄羅斯可能在2023年會遇到其他形式的權力體制和克里姆林宮會有不同的人物。將會是樣仍未可知。但現時，就是黎明前的黃昏。
In the meantime, protests against the war are taking place in Russia. Anarchists participate in them in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Perm, Irkutsk, Yekaterinburg and other cities. In Russia, it is extremely difficult to organize street protests; this is fraught with administrative and criminal terms, not to mention good old-fashioned police violence. But people are coming out all the same. Thousands have already been detained, but the protests continue. Russia is against this war and against Putin! Come out—when and where you see fit. Team up with friends and like-minded people. Social networks are suggesting Sunday at 4 p.m. as the time for a general protest action. This day and hour is no worse than any other. Download anti-war leaflets for distribution and posting from our website and social networks!
就在此刻，反對戰爭的抗議正在俄羅斯各地發生。安那旗士在莫斯科，聖彼得堡，喀山，彼爾姆，伊爾庫茨克，葉卡捷琳堡及其他城市都參與其中。在俄羅斯，組織街頭抗議非常困難，充斥著種種行政和刑事條件，更不用說一如既往的警察暴力。但人民仍都會走出來。已有數千人被拘留，但抗議活動依然持續。俄羅斯反對這場戰爭和反對普京！見到適合的時候地點時，走出來吧。與朋友和志同道合的人組成團隊。社交網絡建議在星期日下午4時作為總動員示威抗議行動的時間。這日期和時間不差於其他任何時間。下載來自我們網站和社交網絡的反戰傳單分發和發布吧！
Russian fliers opposing the invasion, reading “You pay for Putin’s war—taxes, closed borders, poverty, service blockages, information vacuum—no war!” and “No to military invasion of Ukraine: peace to the people, war on the rulers.”
反對侵略的俄文傳單，上面寫著「你會要為普京的戰爭付出代價——徵稅，封閉邊界，貧困，服務堵塞，資訊真空——不要戰爭！」和「反對軍事入侵烏克蘭：讓人民獲得和平，向統治者的宣戰。」
Meanwhile, Ukrainian anarchists are joining in the territorial defense of their cities. It is now harder for them than for people in Russia, but this is one and the same defense. This is the defense of freedom against dictatorship, of will against bondage, of normal people against deranged presidents.
與此同時，烏克蘭安那旗士們正在投入在他們城市的領土防衛。現在對他們來說比俄羅斯人民更困難，但這是一個相同的防衛。這是捍衛反對獨裁統治的自由、這是反對被束縛的意志、這是普羅人民反對狂人總統。
To Your Sheep
回到你的羊群
If Putin suddenly comes to his senses by some miracle, and the war ends one of these days, are we ready to “return to our sheep,” as the French say? It is likely that we will be kicked out of the Council of Europe. Thus, Russians will lose the opportunity to apply to the European Court of Human Rights, and soon the Kremlin will restore the death penalty.
如果普京突然奇蹟地找回他的理智，而戰爭在某一天結束，我們是否準備「回到我們的羊群」，就好像法國人所說的？我們很可能會被趕出歐洲委員會。因此，俄羅斯人民將失去引用歐洲人權法庭的機會，而克里姆林宮很快就會恢復死刑。
For now, we will return to the news in the spirit of all recent years: right now, the State Duma [a legislative body in the ruling assembly of Russia] is adopting a law according to which a military conscript must himself come to the military enlistment office rather than waiting for a summons. Putin also recently raised the salaries of the police. And the prosecutor’s office, in an appeal, demands to increase the term of an anarchist from Kansk, Nikita Uvarov, convicted in the famous “Minecraft terrorism case,” from five to nine years.
至此，讓我們以近年的氣氛回來看看現時的新聞：現在，國家杜馬(俄羅斯聯邦會議的立法機構下議院)正在採納一項法律，根據該法律，被徵召的兵員必須自行前往軍隊入伍辦公室報到而不是等待傳召。普京最近也提昇了警察的薪水。而檢察官的辦公室，正在上訴要求增加尼基塔·烏瓦羅夫的刑期，他因Minecraft恐怖主義案件而著名，是來自坎斯克的安那旗士，而上訴要求刑期由五年增加到九年。
You yourself know what to do with all this.
你自己會知道對這些情況可怎樣做。
Freedom for the peoples! Death to empires!
自由歸於人民！帝國去死吧！
