Hello people, in Ukraine turn over the events. Yanukovych, who seemed to sit steadfastly 
few days ago on the throne was sacked overnight and is on the run. But as so often in the 
recent past, the overthrow of a despot does not automatically improve, but also attracts 
those in which such a power vacuum in long-held fantasies to see near fall. In the case of 
Ukraine, a huge sand melange far right of center. A self-confessed neo-narcissistic party 
is considered "legitimate" opposition, almost daily were pictures of "Heroes of the 
Maidan" around the world, the martial adorn themselves with Nazi symbols and since the 
fall of Yanukovych to reports of right-wing increase, paramilitary groups, the more gain 
and more control in some cities and regions of the country, especially in Kiev. An 
assessment of the situation is without knowing the language and of the safe guard of the 
domestic PC's more than difficult. Small bright spots are the occasional news and 
interviews with comrades inside * on site, the majority of the Autonomous Union of 
Workers. One of them asked in our first contribution to any possible support, we can only 
underline. Practical solidarity is of course immensely difficult, but we trust in your 
unfailing creativity and passion.

After all, you can expect a highly varied output. In addition to the second part of 
Kropotkin's critique we put our two ongoing article series for zapatismo (with a very 
snappy text) as well as "Science Fiction and anarchy" continued, with an emphasis on 
"Cyberpunk".

Especially at heart, we want you though place the Anarcha-Feminist articles for conference 
in October 2014 in London. We welcome the focus of this conference very much and think it 
would be important if would be added to a shared understanding of this in recent years 
rather neglected branch of the anarchist movement also from our language area initiatives 
and ideas - especially now that the days of the current social backlashes in feminist 
questions.

Last but not least, we also print from some excerpts from the new book of the CrimethInc 
collective. Stay tuned!
