On 26 April 1986 the world went through one of the biggest technogen catastrophes – explosion and meltdown at Chornobyl nuclear power plant. The echo of that disaster was spread all around the globe and the amount of victims will most probably never be know due to secrecy of the soviet bureaucratic machine. But back in the 80s it was clear that the Chornobyl will stay in the lives of people for very long time. We gather 40 years later to remember what was happening back then, talk about the consequences and why it is important to talk about the place today, with it’s occupation by russian troops, drone strike and continuous maintenance of the huge sarcophagus that protects the rest of the world from the mistakes of the humankind.
The Soviet Empire is long gone, and Chornobyl is one of the monuments to it’s collapse, reminds us that we have to be careful with technology that can destroy us all.
The event will be in the format of reading parts of memories those who were affected by Chornobyl, but also facts and figures about past and present with a discussion afterwards on what we can learn from the past not to repeat the mistakes in the modern technological world.
The event will be in german and english language. There will be snacks and drinks at the bar.

We are not all – the prisoners are missing!
Like every last Friday of the month you are invited to the letter writing café at malobeo. We show solidarity with people in prison, because we are convinced that prison and punishment do not contribute to a more just and non-violent society. We want a society in which social problems are dealt with instead of being locked away. People must not be criminalized because they are poor, queer or non-white. People must not be criminalized because they do not conform to the norms of the dominant system or actively fight against the destruction and exploitation in capitalism.
Let´s break the isolation which people face every day in prison and write cards and letters to them!
The film tells the remarkable story of an anarchist collective from Wrocław called Hulajpole, who in 2019 occupied an abandoned villa that was slated for demolition. From a neglected building, they created an autonomous space – the Piotr Kropotkin Social House.
Built on the testimonies of collective members and archival footage, the film explores themes of justice, state power, capitalism, and housing policy in Poland.
What is it like to live differently – in a supportive, non-hierarchical environment based on mutual aid, solidarity, and freedom? Like in Hulajpole.
February 24, 2026 marks the beginning of the fifth year of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. What this means for the lives of people in Ukraine is unimaginable for most people here. Temperatures have been below freezing for weeks. Due to ongoing Russian attacks with drones and ballistic weapons on the energy infrastructure, many cities have no permanent water or electricity supply. Even in apartments in the metropolis of Kyiv, people are freezing at zero degrees.
On January 13, 2026, Holocaust survivor Yevgenia Besfamilnaya is found dead in her apartment. Besfamilnaya translates as “without a name.” As a child, she escaped the Babyn Yar massacre by the Germans in 1941 and later grew up in an orphanage. The systematic Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure proved fatal for her.
With all the crises and wars, it is easy to lose sympathy for individuals; it is numbers, cities, temperatures, drone strikes that we hear every day with half an ear on the news. Ukraine may feel very far away to the German left, and fates such as that of Yevgenia Besfamilnaya may elicit a brief moment of concern.
Some of us traveled to Ukraine ourselves last fall. We learned a lot, our perspective on many things changed, and friendships were formed. That is why we are organizing a week of solidarity with those who are now living and fighting in the fourth year of Russia’s war of aggression: a week of solidarity with the people of Ukraine!
During this week, we want to talk to comrades on the ground, discuss local organizations, get to know the Antifa Gym in Kyiv, and learn from history together with a lecture on the history of Russian imperialism! On Friday, we will show a film about anti-authoritarian activists who have decided to fight with weapons in their hands.
On February 24, a demonstration will take place in the old town to mark the sad anniversary of the Russian offensive.
Solidarity with the struggle for freedom in Ukraine and everywhere in the world where people rise up against authoritarian and fascist oppression!

Anti-authoritarians at war – a documentary by Manon Boltansky and Nico Dix
“Anti-Authoritarians at War”, a documentary by Manon Boltansky and Nico Dix, was filmed in summer 2024 in Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Izium. It follows the people behind the Solidarity Collectives, both those at the forefront and those working behind the scenes. The film illustrates how people make everyday decisions under extreme pressure and how grassroots, non-hierarchical organizing persists even during war.
The film looks at difficult choices, organizing under fire, and solidarity that goes beyond borders.
SOLIDARITY COLLECTIVES is a network of volunteers and activists who support people affected by the war in Ukraine. SC provides humanitarian aid, medical supplies, evacuation support, protective gear, and logistics. Their work is based on mutual aid, horizontal organizing, and international solidarity.
