FAIR VOTE FOR RUSSIA - NEW YORK
Dear Friends and Colleagues
I am writing to ask for your help in something which is very important for me.
Last Sunday Russia held parliamentary elections which were heavily rigged. Thanks to courageous actions of observers from the civil society individual cases of fraud were publicized, and the overall magnitude became clear through statistical analysis. In what is surprising and extremely inspiring for me personally, people did not put up with it, and took to the streets demanding fair vote. They are not “professional protesters” but ordinary citizens – doctors, managers, lawyers, students, workers. Many of my friends went to demonstrations, and even more are planning to come to a 30K+ rally tomorrow.
To show support for our brave compatriots who are risking their health by taking to the streets in Moscow and other Russian cities I am going to a demonstration. Our aim is to get attention of the Western public and media to the situation in Russia – and I would greatly appreciate your support.
