In April 2011, a group of anti-fascists in Nizhny Novgorod were charged with creating an “extremist organisation” and conspiring to prepare a coup d’état. Not a single one of them was ever sentenced in court, and all but two defendants were later amnestied. But now, after the final defendants have received political asylum abroad, it’s time to talk about what happened in the “Antifa-RASH” case.
