Fresh from above 09:24 26.8.2015"20 years of camps for Sentsov - Putin's shame." Under such a heading on Wednesday, the Polish Gazeta Wyborcza publishes a column of the editor -in -chief of the publication, the former Polish dissident Adam Mikhnik, on the first strip.
“Russia always had two Muravyev’s faces: those who hung (they were called by the hangers) and those who were hung for their cohere for freedom. Today, the appearance of both of these persons return in all their brutality.
In recent years, there were leaders in Russia who opened the prison gates and those who slammed them.
Among the first are Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin, the second - Vladimir Putin.
Putin returns the image of a disgusting Kremlin power to the world, which is full of cruelty, meanness and fear.
Oleg Sentsov, film director, ended up in prison - he was beaten and tortured. His colleague with the help of torture was forced to give false testimony, which he refused in court. It is not surprising that the "New Gazeta" - the voice of decent and bold Russia - called this process "purely Stalin." Oleg Sentsov was sentenced to the 20s of the camps. The best citizens of Russia, creators and gummanists acted as his defense. The most outstanding European creators also performed, under their appeal in defense of the convict there are also the surnames of Polyakov.
These voices of human dignity and resistance against cruelty make it possible for at least a moment to breathe fresh air of decency.
Officers and agents of the KGB who rule Russia today breathe other air. From them stinks of fear of their own people. And inside they understand that Sentsov came out in this process by the winner, and sentenced Vladimir Putin.
Putin left us a shameful verdict, and Sentsov - conveyed for life the words from the "master and Margarita" Bulgakov: "The greatest sin in the world is cowardice."
Cowardarity is a terrible sin of the Kremlin rulers, to which the voice of the truth of those who had the courage to live in truth and courage will nevertheless. We associate our hopes and dreams with these people. ”
