Tragic news has come from the Netherlands Alexander
Dolmatov who fled from Russia to this country fearing political
reprisals committed
a suicide. I express my condolences to Alexanders family
and express them support in their grief .
Those of us who have lost their loved ones, know how hurtful
it is, as how the world seems to be alien and how ones life
begins to change as one realizes that nothing will be as it
once was.
Who is to blame? The Netherland authorities that refused to
grant Alexander a political asylum? Those from whom he escaped
in Russia, those who have now unleashed reprisals in Russia?
Or headless leaders of the protest? If a person is killed
in such circumstances, then, in all fairness, no one can shun
the responsibility.
A little man wanted to change his country. He was forced
to flee. The little man was seeking asylum in another country.
But that country calmly turned its back on him. Anger was
breathing behind his back, and cold breathed into his face.
The little man could not resist. He has gone. But he has remained
a Man.
We will remember him.
