Leidseplein, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Saturday 3rd June 2023. Recently, this Russian tank appeared in the centre of Amsterdam. The organizers of the action group wanted to remind people of the fragility of democracy. Over the past few days, the tank has attracted the attention of pro-Russian groups and pacifists, brought flowers and placed them on and around the exhibit. The Feminist Anti-War Resistance group state: ‘We want to remind that this tank is the gun used to kill civilians. Right now the same tanks are still being used by Ruzzia to kill Ukrainians, just 2,000 kilometres from Amsterdam. On March 31st, 2022, this tank was destroyed by Ukrainian soldiers during the Battle of Kyiv in the village of Dmytrivka near Bucha. Amnesty International are investigating war crimes and also investigations are ongoing by the International Criminal Court. ‘The Feminist Anti-War Resistance’ has no connection with Putin’s ani-war pacifist group.
