On May 9, Moscow is hosting a parade dedicated to the victory of the USSR in World War II.
Today, Putin’s regime is using this day of remembrance and mourning to promote militarism and the cult of war in Russia. Victory Day is used as a springboard to legitimize the criminal war in Ukraine and motivate troops under false pretenses. Today, Victory Day is filled with propaganda, lies and imperial aggression.
⠀
Women in Russia have had their mouths sealed. They have no rights to their past or their present. Now the price of free speech in Russia is 15 years in prison.
⠀
We, women of Russia in the Netherlands, can and will speak on behalf of those who are forced to remain silent in Russia under fear of persecution.
⠀
We have such an opportunity and will do it so that our comrades-in-arms in Russia gain the right to vote.
⠀
On May 9, 2022, we speak on their behalf about the women's experience of war and terror. We mourn for the victims of the war in Ukraine, for those who suffered from political repression, for the innumerable victims of the Second World War, on the battlefield and in the camps.
⠀
No war!
