svou povinnost. Svou posvátnou povinnost bránit vlast před nepřítelem.
Moskvu jsem zažil ještě v 60. letech.
S veterány, bez rukou, bez nohou, slepé.
Ti, kdo válku přežili, o ní mluvili velmi málo. Jak jsem dospíval, pochopil jsem proč. Protože válka jako taková, ať už ji 2/n

These are real heroes. This doctor just spent over a month under home arrest (first w/o the right to seeing her kids.) Now, she & her colleagues are going to the penal colony to insist on the right to treat #Navalny. His condition is deteriorating; the colony is struck by TB.
This is the same doctor who played Beethoven while her house was being searched. Here's my interview with her lawyer from 2 months ago only. Now she's risking her life again...
