Ukraine support letter to send to your local Congressperson in the U.S. 

Dear [Senator / Congressperson],

I would like to contact you regarding a matter very important to me: the Russian / Ukraine war happening right now. It is horrifying that a country like Russia would brutally attack a democratic state like Ukraine. We must support any measures that can help Ukraine fight back and hinder Russia’s war efforts.

Since invading Ukraine in 2014 and illegally occupying Crimea, Russia has waged a war of aggression in the eastern Ukrainian oblasts of Donetsk and Luhansk. This war has cost Ukraine over 14,000 dead, 30,000 wounded and 1.5 million internally displaced people from those occupied territories. On Thursday, February 24, Russia again threatened the sovereignty of Ukrainian territory for no justifiable reason.

I call on you to support:   

Providing Ukrainians with more military, humanitarian, and economic support.

Accelerating EU membership and a NATO Membership Action Plan for Ukraine.

Closing Ukraine’s sky. This does not mean deploying NATO troops but is essential for protecting Ukraine.

The full removal of Russia from financial systems, such as Visa and Mastercard operations and SWIFT.

Ceasing business with Russia and Russians. By paying businesses that pay taxes in Russia, we fuel the Russian army and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Increasing sanctions on Russia and Russian exports to deter further aggression.

Stopping the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from becoming operational. 

People in Ukraine are dying, including innocent civilians and children, to protect their homeland and freedom. What has been proposed so far is not enough and allows Vladimir Putin a lot of room to get around sanctions. 

Let’s do what is right and what furthers democracy in this world for a better tomorrow. Please Stand With Ukraine. The Ukrainian community calls upon you and our government to stand with them and guarantee them peace and dignity, free from Russia’s aggression and oppressive control.   

Thank you. 

Best regards,

Penetrating "Parasites" into other segments of the population will make you think and remember this movie

I wanted to write a review about "Parasites" a long time ago, which impressed me very much, and the moments from the movie that I still keep recalling. You may have heard about "Parasites" many times but this is a picture of South Korean film director Bong Joon-ho, who received the Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival this 2019 year. Bong Joon-ho has been in cinematography for many years, and he is well known globally for quite a long time. His thriller “Snowpiercer” was mentioned many times, which I have not watched yet, but I will watch all of his works after seeing the Parasites. A two-and-a-half-hour film plunges us into the tragic scene of two families, shows us the relationships of people from different social groups. At the first hour of a movie, viewers laugh on the truth in person’s essence they might see in themselves, and the next hour and a half they are amazed at the wretchedness, greed, cruelty, and such a strange stupidity of a human being. ...

Crimea: between empire and freedom,- interview with Nara Narimanova for El Mundo publications

Need to share this article that Xavier Colas has written six years ago interviewing me, pro-Western, and Tatiana Bridko, pro-Russian, (to give two opinions on the annexation) for El Mundo publication in Spanish. You can read it via not-perfect GOOGLE translation tool below.  All the rights are of the author and a publication copied from  El Mundo web-page . Crimea: between empire and freedom XAVIER COLÁS Updated:  04/05/2014  00:17 hours 14 When Nara Narimanova was a child, she had one country under her feet and another on her head.  The first was called Uzbekistan, a conservative land where Soviet inertia and Muslim traditions are walls that few can break.  There was a very different place in his mind: Crimea.  From there Stalin kicked out her grandparents, Tatars, in May 1944. For her and her parents, this region was a distant paradise that they had never trodden.  A mission to accomplish, a place to return ...
