> Probably few of you have ever heard the name of russian poet Alina
> Vitukhnovskaya who is now again on trial, charged with - ridiculous in her
case -
> drug posession for the third time in her life. The proccess is
unbelievable
> in its stupidity, reminding the wildest times of KGB vs Dissidents .
> As a result of first two trials Alina has already spent 1,5 years in jail.
> She is celebrated as the most gifted russian lady-poet of our time,
> "....the talent we have been waiting for for the past 15 years, the poet
who
> stands out among all her contemporaries" (K. Kedrov)

> Flatblack Lounge has just published my material on the case - it can be

> The influence of the western world in the affairs of Russia is still
> sufficient. If you can spread the news on Alina around the world - sending
> it to another people/lists, mentioning it wherever you can, etc. - it
would
> be definitely a help.
