ROAR: Resistance and Opposition Arts Review (Russian: Вестник антивоенной и оппозиционной культуры, prior sixth issue — Russian Oppositional Arts Review, Russian: Вестник русской оппозиционной культуры) is an online publication created by an Israeli poet Linor Goralik in 2022 after full-fledged Russian invasion in Ukraine. It publishes poetry, essays, prose, plays, as well as visual art and multimedia projects and music, which speaks out against "war and repression, violence and propaganda"[1]. According to Goralik, after the open call for the first issue, she received about 40 works a day[2]. The issue, which was directly dedicated to the war in Ukraine, was published April 24, 2022 with 130 different contributions[3].
Being published in Russian, issues of ROAR are also being translated in several languages, including English, French, Italian, Japanese, Polish[4].
In a recent conversation, someone dear to me called ROAR “a space for like-minded people.” I wanted to argue with that; I think it’s very important to remember that the authors for ROAR (and I am honored to know many of them personally) are very different people. I think their views of many problems, including politics, can be very different, if we look at them closely. But it is my deepest belief that they are of the one and the same opinion about one thing: the war being waged by the Russian government against Ukraine for more than a year now is unequivocally criminal. And I am incredibly grateful to each of our authors for the clarity, thoroughness, and sometimes bravery they express that opinion with.

The initial three issues of ROAR were focused[2] on a dedicated topic each (namely, "Russian War Against Ukraine", "Resisting Violence" and "Everyday Resistance"[6]), while later explore a wider range of themes dedicated to resistance and opposition.
It works much a mailbox set up by an underground network during the Cold War. To make the reference clearer, the texts appear to be typed on a typewriter, like the legendary samizdats, writings smuggled among dissidents in the Soviet era. The difference is that the content is not secret plans, or even political novels, but rather unbridled rage. Since April, the Russian Oppositional Arts Review (ROAR) website has been home to all those intellectuals who cannot speak freely in Russia against the war in Ukraine. They can post an essay, a poem, music, or an illustration. Translated from Russian into English, these testimonies are now also available in French thanks to a team of volunteers.
