Today Alexey Kozlov was again given five years of general regime... No, not like that. Today Olga Romanova was given five years. Last time to Kozlov, and today specifically to Romanova.
Five minus three and a half, that’s another year and a half. And for her, these one and a half years will not be a deprivation of liberty, but a deprivation of life. This will no longer be life for her. It will be a daily struggle with a multi-headed monster, daily anxiety for her husband, and daily melancholy from powerlessness. They knew what they were doing. They chose the most painful place and hit it with a backhand. And we all understand why. For articles, for interviews, for rallies, and separately for Romanova’s wallet. She became widely known as a woman who fought the system for her husband, but gradually this fight turned into a fight for all of us. And the system did not forgive her for this. The system treated the desperate struggle for her husband with understanding and even respect. But the system is unable to forgive the fight for EVERYONE and against itself. Such a struggle is incomprehensible to the system, it frightens it and forces it to act extremely cynically and cruelly. This cruelty is a hello to all of us. Greetings, which they convey today through Alexey and Olga. Look guys, tomorrow this could happen to any of you. With you personally, and what’s worse, with your husband, or wife, sister or brother.... We must understand that this verdict is ours, COMMON!
I don’t know what to do now, but something needs to be done. We must prove to them that Olga is not alone today, that there are many, many of us.
