Rozbrat is a long-running anarchist self-managed social centre in Jeżyce in Poznań, Poland.
Rozbrat is based in a former paint factory squatted in autumn 1994. The name means 'to make peace and get detached from an enemy.' [1]
Rozbrat hosts many events and discussions. Different groups use the space such as a bicycle workshop, silk-screen printers, anarchist library and infoshop, a gallery, the Breaking (Ear)drums samba band and Food not Bombs. [1] The local branch of the Federacja Anarchistyczna has been based at Rozbrat since 1997. [2]
The centre's longevity means that it is well supported in Poznań, although its future remains precarious. [3]
Rozbrat joined with groups including Stonewall and Poznań Free from Hate to protest when Robert Winnicki, member of the Polish Parliament and then chairman of the far-right All-Polish Youth organization wanted to speak in Poznan in 2017. [4]
Rozbrat has experienced two serious neo-Nazi attacks in 1996 and 2013. The perpetrators of the first attack received jail sentences after seriously wounding a sleeping person. [5]
