Krystsina “Kita” Charankova | Kristina Cherenkova was probably one of the best-known anti-fascist prisoners in the world. In 2022, she was convicted in Belarus for the heinous “crimes” of advocating against the Ukraine invasion, being against the Belrussian police, sharing links and videos from anarchist groups, and (of course) criticizing Lukashenko’s brutal regime. Back then, the Defence Fund provided support for her and her comrades as they faced their trials. Unfortunately, there was no amount of support we could provide to prevent the inevitable outcome of a political trial in a country described as “Europe’s last dictatorship.” At the end of her trial, Kita was imprisoned.
Until now! We were ecstatic to find out that she was released earlier this month and sent her a bit of additional support to help her get back on her feet and become adjusted to being back in the world. Glad to see she’s wasting no time getting back into the swing of things, as evidenced by her backup vocals for oi! legends Los Fastidos.
