Letter from Zheina Zatoka

Here is an Letter from Zheina Zatoka- as given to Kate Watters from Crude Accountability

Dear Friends,

I know that not all of you can understand the Russian below, or in the
link, but this is a thank you letter from Zhenia Zatoka, Andrey’s wife,
and it goes out to all those who worked for Andrey’s release.

Below she says: thank you to everyone who helped to free Andrey!
Dear Friends! We won! Andrey is free!

The link below takes you to a website with her photograph and a longer
letter.

She specifically thanks everyone who stood in front of the embassy in
the picket, as well as those who wrote letters and demanded Andrey’s
freedom in other ways.

In a paragraph specifically directed toward her American friends
(you!),
she says: I understand now that our world is small, and that not one
person on the planet is lost. I thank you all for your help!

At the end of her letter she says, “There is one more important thing:
we have come to understand that borders and distance do not separate
us. We are together! We are a large community of environmentalists,
civil society activists, friends. An international socio-ecological
union.”

Happy weekend to everyone, and thanks again for all you have done! Its
nice, once in a while, to be part of something that makes a difference,
isn’t it?

Warmest wishes,
Kate
