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.

2. Introduction
In 2018, CNS supported more than 100
Texas Panhandle and East Tennessee
nonprofit organizations and schools,
contributing more than $600,000 to groups
including the Ronald McDonald House
Charities of Amarillo, Aid to Distressed
Families of Appalachian Counties, and the
Texas Ramp Project.
The CNS Executive Leadership Team
volunteered their time, serving on 10
community boards in their communities.
While, CNS employee volunteers provided
coats, scarves, and toboggans for homeless
veterans in Amarillo and helped seventh-
graders design a miniature satellite for
NASA in Oak Ridge, among many other
volunteer efforts.
CNS-sponsored service projects also
benefitted the community. From sewing
pillow cases for the Amarillo Women’s
Center, to providing a new coat of paint for
an exhibit room at the Children’s Museum
of Oak Ridge, our tradition of service
continued in 2018.
3. What our Community Partners say about CNS:
“Our friends at CNS have not only helped
with packing and distributing hundreds of
backpacks, they have been very generous in
contributing supplies and making monetary
donations as well. We hope CNS knows it is
making a huge difference for the students in
our area. We couldn’t do this without
volunteers like you!”
Becky Hook, ADFAC School Backpack
Program Coordinator
“Ronald McDonald House Charities of
Amarillo is beyond grateful for the support
of CNS Pantex administration and staff. It is
truly inspiring to see your employees take
such an active role in helping shape our
community!”
Shelley Cunningham - Ronald McDonald
House Charities of Amarillo, Executive
Director
“Pantex has been so gracious and generous
for sponsoring the Halloween Dance for
the clients of Texas Panhandle Centers for
many years now. It is a huge event and
undertaking, but our clients absolutely
love it.”
Trisha Wilson, Texas Panhandle Centers,
Director Community Services
“CNS is ALWAYS there for us -whether it’s
financial support, providing volunteer teams
for work blitzes at the museum, or having
talented CNS employees serve on our Board
of Trustees.”
Beth Shea, Children’s Museum of
Oak Ridge, Executive Director
“CNS Pantex assists the Amarillo Chamber
of Commerce and our area with financial
and volunteer support. Many of their
employees have and do serve on the
Chamber’s Board as well as our various
councils. The Amarillo Chamber of
Commerce and the city of Amarillo
appreciates the support, and we look
forward to continuing this partnership in
the years to come”
Jason Harrison, Amarillo Chamber of
Commerce, Executive Vice President
Business Development and
Governmental Affairs
“We have been extremely blessed to have
such a strong and on-going relationship
with CNS. We have board members, fund
distribution panel volunteers and several
teams of volunteers who have spent
hundreds of hours volunteering for us!
There is no way United Way of Anderson
County could have accomplished all we
have without the financial and volunteer
support we have received.”
Naomi Asher, United Way of Anderson
County, Executive Director
“Thank you CNS Pantex for participating in
our WOWW Science Collaborative. Our
students were intrigued and amazed at the
educational experience you provided to over
1,000 fifth–graders from all over the
Panhandle. Thank you for sharing our vision
to inspire the next generation of scientists
and engineers.”
Catherin Meck, Window on a Wider
World, Executive Director
“CNS has been a true partner with the Oak
Ridge Schools. CNS’s involvement with the
Oak Ridge Schools has given students
exposure to multiple career fields that
ultimately will positively impact the lives of
hundreds of our students.”
Dr. Bruce Borchers, Oak Ridge Schools
Superintendent

2018 was a milestone year for Consolidated
Nuclear Security, LLC and its operations at
Pantex in Amarillo, Texas and the Y-12 National
Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. At
Pantex, employees moved into the newly
constructed John C. Drummond Center, which
replaced legacy facilities dating back to the
1940s. A highlight of the opening was a
community invitation to tour the new facility.
In 2018, the City of Oak Ridge celebrated Y-12’s
75th anniversary, proclaiming June 8, 2018,
“Y-12 Day at the Secret City Festival.” In more
than seven decades of service to the country,
thousands of Oak Ridge and East Tennessee
residents have worked at Y-12, generating
millions of dollars to the local economy.

9. United Way
In 2018, Y-12 received the United Way
Lifetime Achievement Award for donating
$6.3 million to the United Way of Greater
Knoxville between 2000 and 2017. And since
2008, Pantex employees donated more than
$6 million dollars to Amarillo and Canyon
United Way.
Y-12 employees raised money for United
Way selling pies. They also threw pies. Why?
Because giving is as easy as pie (in the face)?
At Pantex employees bought pink flamingos
for their bosses that made for a colorful
fundraiser.
