REIT is an investment pool, which finds alternative means of financing real estate through an initial public offering (IPO), which is then used to buy, develop, manage and sell assets in real estate. This pool of real estate generates income through renting, leasing and selling of property and distributes it directly to the REIT holder on a regular basis.
A major benefit of REITs is that they do not have to pay tax on the income received by them, as 90% of the income is distributed to the shareholders. Smaller real estate investors are offered certain important qualities through the modem REITs, which previously were never accessible and available to them before.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
