We are anarchists.

We occupy this property in protest against Putin and his world.

This mansion belongs to a Russian oligarch, complicit in Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Do we need to remind you why Putin sucks? The invasion of Ukraine is only the last episode in a long series, from the support of Assad in Syria to concentration camps for LGBT+ people, ecocides, massive wealth inequality. the brutal repression of political opponents, and so on.

By occupying this mansion, we want to show solidarity with the people of Ukraine, but also the people of Russia who never agreed to this madness. As always with wars, empires benefit and common people pay the price.

We want to show our sympathy to the brave protesters who have been fighting in the belly of the beast, and suffer unjust imprisonment for standing up to Putin. We say with you: Putin, go fuck yourself.

Finally, we want to say a word about the elites here in the UK. who have been Putin’s minions for years? You received bribes, you managed oligarchs’ assets, you even adopted Putin’s authoritarian attitude to protest and dissent. Fuck you too.

This rich mansion will serve as a center for refugee support, for Ukrainians and people of all nations and all ethnicities.
