   Rebellious souls in Russia have sent us a photograph of this banner hanging over the train tracks in the Leningrad region. It reads "ПРИЗНАЙСЯ, ЧТО ХОЧЕШЬ ВОССТАНИЯ!"—"Say You Want an Insurrection," the title of our classic text discussing insurrectionary anarchism. While the title has an ironic aspect in English on account of the association with a certain song by the Beatles, in Russian, it comes across more like "Admit it: you want to revolt!"

   Along with the photograph, we received this message:

   "Rebellion is a time when fear turns into joy. This time is not in the past and does not wait in the future. Rebellion lives in the present. The rebellion of ungovernable lives against the military death machine, of unbridled diversity against xenophobia and patriarchal cynicism, of everything strange against the general fatigue, apathy, and boredom.

   "The uprising speaks in each of us in the transcendant languages of rage and love. Our distant friends, we are beside you, we are among you. isn't it time for us to admit, together, that we want the same—many and different—uprisings!"

   It is heartening to know that even under conditions of intense repression and autocracy, the desire to revolt thrives.
