=============================
Thanks, no need. I googled it and all I came up with were a bunch of
anarchist websites, including the one to which Tahir Wood referred to at
http://translate.google.co.za/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=http://avtonom.org/index.php%3Fnid%3D1926&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3DCRAS-IWA%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG.

It's a Russian site, but the leaflet is mysteriously reproduced in English.
Maybe our old friend Chuck Munson sent it along to a Russian friend who
couldn't translate it. :) My guess is that it's primarily being circulated
in anarchist cyber-space and has leaked out to a slightly larger circle of
wishful Western leftists who've seized on it to support their "revolutionary
defeatist" position. I'd be surprised if a single Russian soldier has seen
it.
