The #Kremlin has employed a shadowy recruitment network to lure young Indian men with promises of jobs, only to trap them into fighting for Russia. Experts say Russia is using manpower from the Indian subcontinent to build a reserve of expendable soldiers to fight in its grinding war against Ukraine.

A teenager gave a street concert critical of authoritarian rule, played Swan Lake, and is now caught up in #Russia's courts
« On the streets of St Petersburg, #Stoptime have been performing songs by exiled Russian artists like Noize MC and Monetochka, singer-songwriters fiercely critical of the #Kremlin and of Russia's war in #Ukraine.
Many of these prominent musicians, now abroad, have been officially designated foreign agents by Russian authorities. »

Today in Labor History August 31, 1919: John Reed and others formed the Communist Labor Party of America in Chicago. The party evolved into the American Communist Party. Reed was a journalist and communist activist who extensively covered World War I. He was most famous for his coverage of the Russian Revolution and his book, “Ten Days That Shook the World.” He died in Moscow in 1920 from typhus. They gave him a hero’s welcome and buried him in Kremlin Wall Necropolis. Only two other Americans were given this honor: Big Bill Haywood, a founding member of the IWW, and C.E. Ruthenberg, founder of the Communist Party USA.
John Dos Passos included a short biography of him in his “U.S.A.” trilogy. Uptain Sinclair called him the Revolution’s Playboy, elements of which can be seen in Warren Beaty’s portrayal of Reed in the film, “Reds.” Sergei Eisenstein made a film version of “Ten Days That Shook the World” in 1927.
