19-year-old Russian activist Olga Misik – who two years ago was arrested for reading aloud her country’s constitution to the police at a pro-democracy rally – was arrested once again for ‘vandalism’. She gave a blistering statement to the court. “With such children, Russia does have a future!”

Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
