We will miss her

We will miss her on December 8, 2018, George Satarov

It was not so hard for me to write for a long time. After all, she was a very close person for me. And this is a blow. It really hurts. But - about her. 90 years of an unkindly worthy life. She had not a very simple mission - to help people who were in trouble through the fault of power. And for this, she went to direct contacts with the authorities, calmly treating her accused her. After all, in fact, it is not yet known here who uses whom. And I have reason to say that she used it much more effective than power. The reputations of those from the authorities, including the president who posed with her or paid her visits to the cell, did not happen increasing. And she did her job. Until the very end. And we will remember her as she was - a bright and courageous person. And we will miss her.
