On behalf of the YABLOKO party I am pleased
to express our heartiest congratulations to Arseny Roginsky
on the case of his receiving the Officer Cross award of
the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Arseny Roginsky is a renowned Russian human rights activist
and historian studying the political terror period. His
large contribution into protection of human rights is difficult
to overestimate.
We have long-term close partnership ties. A book Overcoming
Stalin’s Legacy containing the decision of YABLOKO’s Political
Committee on overcoming Stalinism was published with the
aid of Arseny Roginsky.
We would like to stress exceptional importance of the public
work conducted by Arseny Roginsky and the Memorial society
in overcoming the totalitarian past of our country and hope
to continue our close cooperation here.
Sincerely,
Sergei Mitrokhin
Arseny Roginsky will deliver a lecture The
Anatomy and Scopes of Stalin’s Terror within the framework
of YABLOKO’s lectures.
