Anarkhiia

Anarkhiia was Russian weekly, then daily newspaper published by the Moscow Federation of Anarchist Groups.[1] It was edited by Vladimir Barmash, Abba Gordin, German Askarov, Pyotr Arshinov, Lev Chernyi and others.[2] It was first launched in September 1917, published from the headquarters of the MFAG in the "House of Anarchy," formerly the Chamber of Commerce, on Malaia Dimitrovka Street.[3] Anarkhiia was suspended in the confusion arising over the Bolshevik seizure of power. It reappeared in March 1918 as a daily newspaper expressing anarchist fury over the Bolshevik acquiescence to German Imperialism in the Brest-Litovsk Treaty. Production was interrupted by the Cheka raid on the House of Anarchy, on 12 April 1918. However about a fortnight later it was relaunched from the temporary address of 1 Nastasinsky, previously the home of the Poets' Club in the basement. The last issue, the 99th, was published on 2 July 1918.[4]
