Today it turns 80 years since the beginning of the Great Terror [unleashed by Joseph Stalin]. They say, why speaking about it again, because everything has already been said, and the present political topics are different. Nikita Khrushchev, Mikhail Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin and even Vladimir Putin spoke of the reprisals. They said that it was “not good”. Laws on the rehabilitation of victims were adopted. The [memorial] Solovki Stone was installed near Lubyanka Square in Moscow [where the former NKVD-KGB, and the present FSB is located]. Maybe a monument to the victims of reprisals will be put somewhere in Moscow son… “Stop brooding on the past: the coup d’état of 1917, the terror of 1937, and the recent 1990s! We must look forward! “. But neither “looking forward” nor going forward will work without understanding one’s own history. One can only walk in circles, returning to a national catastrophe in one form or another. It is impossible to fix anything in the present without comprehending the events of the past and their due assessment as a factor determining today’s life. To correct it, one must understand: the Bolshevik system, which led the people to the greatest tragedy in its history, has not vanished. This system is our today’s reality in an updated, hybrid and somewhat mitigated form. And we live in it.

Thirteen people were killed, over a hundred people were injured. There were acts of terror in the centre of Barcelona and in Cambrils, and explosions in Alcanar. These are new bloody spots on the map of Europe. They are new but I am afraid that they are not the last ones. Murdering unarmed civilians – children, women, elderly people – in a indiscriminate way – is an absolute crime. Terror has its reasons but it does not have a single excuse.
We are mourning together with Barcelona, Catalonia and the whole Spain. May the memory of the victims live forever, and we express our deepest condolences to their friends and next of kin. We wish those who suffered injuries a speedy recovery.
