Open letter to Russian People, July 7, 2014

8 July 2014 — Slavyangrad

Short Preamble: This letter must stand on its own. It was written by the collective of publishers of Vineyardsaker.fr and Vineyardsaker.ru and published on the respective websites, as well as by the Vineyard Saker on his original blog The Vineyard of the Saker. I support The Vineyard Saker implicitly in his initiatives and collaborate with him in our joint project to break through the propaganda blockade of Western media with respect to the war in Novorossiya being fought by the Nazi (we should not shy away from this word) government of Ukraine against the people of Novorossiya – Russian people who chose freedom over tyranny. As the majority of the readers of this blog are English-speakers, the French-language original of the letter is published at the end. Kindly, distribute as far and wide as possible. My gratitude goes to my dear friend, the Vineyard Saker, for alerting me to this communique.
