We intend to keep up our work, but we won’t be able to do it without your help.
Your support is the support of voices against the criminal war unleashed by Russia in Ukraine. This is an expression of solidarity with those whose labour and political situation need publicity, those who need new comrades-in-arms in their activities. This is the choice of a social and democratic alternative beyond state borders. And of course, this is helping specific people who produce materials and maintain our online platform.
Donating to Posle is not dangerous. We keep an eye on changes in data transfer practices and Russian laws governing financial transactions. We utilise legal methods of money transferring used by our comrades and colleagues from around the world, including Russia, Ukraine and the Republic of Belarus.
We count on your support!

Already the backsliding begins. ITV news is reporting that the Government has changed one point in the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill. They have accepted that academies will retain their ‘freedom’ to set their own pay scales for teachers. So the criteria in the School Teachers Pay and Conditions document will only apply to teachers in Local Authority schools. Why have the Government climbed down on this issue? It’s not as if this is a major financial problem for academies. But what will be the next change/climb down by the Government? Will academies be exempt from the National Curriculum? Will Local Authorities be able to build schools according to the needs of their communities or will all new schools, as at present, have to be academies?
