The Black Bridge (Russian: Чёрный мост, romanized: Chyornyy most) is a Russian partisan movement opposed to the rule of Vladimir Putin.[2][3] The organization supports the territorial integrity of Ukraine.[4]

History

In August 2022, the movement made recommendations to disrupt referendums on the annexation of the occupied parts of Ukraine to Russia.[4][5]

After the announcement of the mobilization in Russia, the movement stated that:

"the regime has chosen a quick death through agony. ... This is good, because the push-and-pull on the Ukrainian front ends and the under-reich will fall faster. It’s bad - because the partisan movement did not have time to properly take shape and the regime would still have time to send several tens of thousands of mobilized for fertilizer."[6]

The movement claimed responsibility for an attack on a FSB building in Rostov-on-Don on March 16, 2023.[7][8]
