#Russia: Marxist theoretician charged with "justifying terrorism"
Rabkor Editorial Office Appeal
Russian sociologist Boris #Kagarlitsky is being prosecuted for a severe criminal case - justification of terrorism. In this regard, Editorial Office of the #Rabkor journal appeals to a broader public and also expresses solidarity with our chief editor and all our comrades, who were put under investigation procedures like searches and interrogations:
- Alexandr #Archagov
- Telegram channel and VK group editor Artem
- Rabkor video studio worker Valeriy
We also express support and solidarity to all relatives and loved ones of Boris.

Boris is not only a left intellectual and scientist well-known around the world, he is also a Marxist, who grinded his knowledge on the fields of class war. He used to be a left dissident in the Soviet Russia, and now he might become a prisoner of the state in Putin's Russia. He is a vital part of international socialist movement; he nurtured several generations of marxists; he continuously remains dedicated to his tenets.
It is impossible to even imagine Kagarlitsky being sentenced and imprisoned. In 2023, political activity can be considered as a crime. We decidedly object him being detained.
As for Rabkor, we continue to work as media. Rabkor is more than just Boris. It's a textual website and its editors and admins; YouTube channel and its hosts and tech team. The most important task to be accomplished by our team is to maintain Rabkor and make it a central element in the international struggle of solidarity for the freedom of Boris Kagarlitsky.
