Our last Actions
The female partisan movement "Zla Mavka" opposes Russia in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine
Do not anger Ukrainian women
One of us draws very well, she created the first poster "The occupiers got it, don't make Ukrainian women angry." We started hanging it. The reaction was quick: the Russians got angry and immediately tore down the posters.

Crimea is Ukraine
In Crimea, of course, "it was like home", but the time has come for you to return to the swamps.
Because Crimea is Ukraine
