Here’s issue #13 of the news bulletin composed by the International Department of the CC of the RKSM(b). Preparing it, we strived to offer a perspective on the events in Russia, different from the one of mass-media. Hopefully, this will alleviate your analysis of the developments in Russia.

The bulletin can be used freely, e.g. translated and published on your media or distributed among activists and supporters. We will be glad to answer any of your questions and will appreciate your feedback at int@rksmb.org.

This issue covers:

In brief:

• Mandatory work for graduated medics
• Taxi Drivers Across Russia. Strike Against Low Pay
• Members of Marxist Group Receive Harsh Sentences
• Plaque commemorating notable Hitler supporter unveiled at a state university in Yekaterinburg
• The government blocks Telegram
