country. his statements were judged offensive on the offices who were fortunate were themselves one of satirists main opponents as may just said a gay child of an a peacekeeper a former paratrooper who lost both his legs in the war. we're very shocked by the provocative behavior of this famous scientist. today sergey lives in kiev and is head of the ukrainian war veterans group he still believes that sucker of was to go above and trusting people who provided him with information including that on the situation in afghanistan. overfull wish would generally speaking apart from being a great physicist grew the sucker of was a very sincere and naive person he was easily deceived and believed everything he

heard was and i had to counter his statements in a harsh manner i think he was simply to see for the people who surround it of which was a political course of a young silly gay expressed a populist standpoint to months soviets in relation to the conflict in afghanistan those who supported cycles point of view were an absolute minority of the session but the debates are broadcast live across the country allowing the public to decide as a result sacral started to receive letters once again just like in the old days this time however the letters had a much different tone to those that previously filled his mailbox during his gawky exile. dear daughter suffer oh please accept my deepest apologies for the so called public humiliation i can't keep silent anymore after watching the session of the congress of people's deputies on t.v. did i realize how desperately we need jeff. on december
