vigilante group.[3]
Besides attacks against and occupation of buildings, Rouvikonas' actions include organizing of free common meals.[4][5]
Police sources are estimating that there are approximately 120–150 members as of 2018[1] Mode of action and open membership is in sharp contrast with previous anarchist groups that used indiscriminate violence.[1][2] Rouvikonas is based in Exarcheia, a district traditionally accommodating anarchists and anti-authoritarians.[6]
Rouvikonas is part of the platformist Anarchist Federation, along with other anarchist collectives of Greece.[7]
