Thank you Kate! And happy new year !!!!

Fantastic text, Ms Zhang!

eye witness accounts of what is happening in situations of severe hostility is so valuable, so important to those of us who are mere observeres, living in other parts of the world.
I am glad to hear that your sister is safe. We need to hear your voice, wherever you are.
Thank you

Wonderful interview Vera. Important to push these taboos out and into the open debate. All of Europe suffers from bad relations with Russia except perhaps Serbia...and they can be improved by projects such as Wajda´s. He is a hero.

Excellent take on the fact that most Muslim countries prefer to
lament the "world's" oppression against them instead of cleaning up their own mess and introducing human rights to their citizens.
