Marina Ovsyannikova, an editor at Russia’s state-run Channel One television station, burst onto the set of the live nightly news broadcast tonight shouting “Stop the war. No to war." She held a sign reading: “Don’t believe the propaganda. They’re lying to you here.” It was signed in English: “Russians against the war”. Through a Russian human rights group, OVD-Info, she also released a pre-recorded video statement in which she stated:
"What is happening in Ukraine is a crime. And Russia is the aggressor here. And responsibility for this aggression rests on the conscience of a single man: Vladimir Putin. My father is Ukrainian. My mother is Russian. And they’ve never been enemies. And this necklace I’m wearing is a symbol of that fact that Russia must immediately end this fratricidal war. And our fraternal peoples will still be able to make peace. Unfortunately, I’ve spent many of the last few years working for Channel One, doing Kremlin propaganda, and I’m deeply ashamed of this. Ashamed that I allowed lies to come from the TV screen. Ashamed that I allowed the zombification of Russian people. We were silent in 2014 when all this had just started."
She went on to urge her fellow Russians to join anti-war protests, asserting: "We just silently watched this anti-human regime at work. And now the whole world has turned its back on us. And the next 10 generations won’t wash away the stain of this fratricidal war. We Russians are thinking and intelligent people. It’s in our power alone to stop all this madness. Go protest. Don’t be afraid of anything. They can’t lock us all away."
According to OVD-Info, Marina was arrested shortly after her protest. Under newly passed media suppression laws in Russia, she could face significant prison time; violators of the new law criminalizing the spread of what the government deems to be "false information" about the military face possible sentences of up to 15 years. As a result of these repressive new laws, multiple Russian independent media outlets were forced to shut down and numerous journalists have fled the country. The crackdown on the media corresponds with a similar crackdown on public protest; nearly 15,000 Russians have been detained for protesting the war, including for such acts as simply holding a blank sign in public.
** UPDATE 3/15/22: After a 14-hour interrogation by the police, during which she was denied legal representation, Marina Ovsyannikova was issued a fine for 30,000 rubles (about $287) for the video statement she released. While she has been released from custody at present, Russian state media reported today that the Russian Investigative Committee has now opened an investigation around possible violations of Russia's new "false information" law which carries a possible sentence of up to 15 years in prison. Moreover, Krelim spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters today that Marina had committed “hooliganism,” a charge that can carry up to eight years of prison time itself.

ESTOY HECHA DE RETAZOS-POEMA de CARO CAROLINA

Imagen
      Estelas en la mar 7   · Estoy hecha de retazo S     Estoy hecha de retazos, pedacitos coloridos de cada vida que pasa por la mía y que voy cosiendo en el alma.   No siempre son bonitos, ni siempre felices, pero me agregan y me hacen ser quien soy.   En cada encuentro, en cada contacto, voy quedando mayor. En cada retazo una vida, una lección, un cariño, una nostalgia... Que me hacen más persona, más humana, más completa.   Y pienso que es así como la vida se hace: de pedazos de otras gentes que se van convirtiendo en parte de uno también. Y la mejor parte es que nunca estaremos listos, finalizados. Siempre habrá un retazo para añadir al alma.   Por lo tanto, gracias a cada uno de ustedes, que forman parte de mi vida y que me permiten engrandecer mi historia con los retazos dejados en mí.    Que yo también pueda dejar pedacitos de mí por los caminos y que puedan ser parte de sus historias.   Y que así, de retazo en...

USA The good job of a floor maid at the Tewksbury Institute

Imagen
  One of the better stories I have read in a long time. Dr. Frank Mayfield was touring Tewksbury Institute when, on his way out, he accidentally collided with an elderly floor maid. To cover the awkward moment Dr. May field started asking questions. "How long have you worked here?" "I've worked here almost since the place opened," the maid replied. "What can you tell me about the history of this place?" he asked. "I don't think I can tell you anything, but I could show you something." With that, she took his hand and led him down to the basement under the oldest section of the building. She pointed to one of what looked like small prison cells, their iron bars rusted with age, and said, "That's the cage where they used to keep Annie Sullivan." "Who's Annie?" the doctor asked. Annie was a young girl who was brought in here because she was incorrigible—nobody could do anything with her. She'd bite and scream ...

http://www.archivohistoricoconcepcion.cl/biblioteca-digital/autores/rolando-saavedra/ He leido con no pocas emociones este magnífico recuento de la historia de la querida familia de la cual heredé dos hijxs maravillosos, Yanina Andrea Hinrichsen Zabaleta, nacida en Concepción, y Tomás Alejo Hinrichsen Zabaleta, nacido durante nuestro exilio con Ricardo Alberto Hinrichsen Ramírez en Glasgow, Escocia.  Como casi todo ya está dicho por el autor, no me faltaría tal vez más que agregar algunas fotos de las decenas que atesoro.  Mientras decido cual/es, saludo al autor, Don Rolando, y le reitero mi agradecimiento por su esmerado y logrado esfuerzo de investigación para llevar a su conclusión a este valioso nuevo libro suyo que, con su acostumbrada g enerosidad, nos ha compartido.
