VOLJA IN ENGLISH
Volja (Russian word meaning "freedom" and "will") is an international anarchist paper that was founded by several anarchists in Moscow in 1989. From the very beginning and throughout its history Volja was a sort of "additional" publication for Moscow-based anarchists, or a "replacement" paper that was issued during the times of the main publication's crisis. This can partly explain the long periods of silence between issues.
The "international" character of the paper, manifested in its subtitle, has a complicated set of reasons, including the fact that editorial collective consisted and still consists of people from various nations, the desire to cover political and cultural events as well as development of anarchist and liberation ideas internationally, and not recognizing state borders legitimate, as they are becoming more and more transparent for goods while the people have a hard time getting through.
Volja tried to cover and intends to keep covering the protest and liberating movements in political, social, gender, environmental, cultural and other spheres of life, the most interesting events and phenomena that are relevant for the former USSR territory at each particular issue's publishing date. Volja does not follow any organization's "party line" but it keeps an eye or two open for various individuals, groups and movements of anarchist, libertarian and antiauthritarian left orientation, including antiwar movement and movement against the capitalist globalisation.
It is worth noting that in 1989-1990 Volja has been a companion paper for anarchist magazine Obschina ("Community"). There were 49 issues and 3 unnumbered special editions of Obschina published between 1987 and 1993. In 1994 and 1995 Volja was being published to at least partially cover the hollow space that existed after Obschina stopped publishing and before another new big publication took off. Volja was temporarily halted as some of the collective's members took part in publishing anarcho-environmental paper Hraniteli Radugi ("Rainbow Keepers") - issues 6 through 10 in 1996 and 1997. Then the attention was turned to Utopija ("Utopia") magazine: issues 1 and 2 in 1998 and 2,5 as a part of compilation zine Evrobutylka ("Eurobottle") in 2000. When Utopija temporarily ceased to be published, Volja has been revived in 2000, the year that the Moscow anarchist movement has been relatively active. In autumn 2000, at the suggestion of the editor of Moscow's anarchist paper Anarhicheskij Vestnik ("Anarchist Courier"), the failed experiment of merging Volja with Anarhicheskij Vestnik started - it did produce one issue of "urban counterculture and antipolitics magazine" Asfal't ("Asphalt") in March 2001. Volja's 15th issue has been provoked by the hostage crisis in Moscow; the simultaneous analisys of the events (the issue was published on October 24, 2002) was combined with materials that were chosen for another publication due to be released in September 2002 that failed to materialize.
