These are photos sent to me by Dr. Konstantin Akinsha. They show another act of staggering futility by that international scumbag, Vladimir Putin who, so as to perpetrate his fu***ng, who-induced war, has decided to bomb the Kharkov Museum of Arts where I have been privileged to visit on numerous occasions. Valentina Myzgina, the former Director of the museum, Misha Sayany, Dima Didorenko and other ‘kharkovchanye’ are wonderful people whom I am proud to call my friends. Misha had a project to restore the Krasnaya Polyana dacha where resided the Sinyakova family until one man decided to destroy the dreams of an entire nation. In doing so, he also robbed Russia of any morality, virtue, any future. In their myopic support for this appalling war, the Russians have ceased to have any right to any sympathy or support. When I last visited Kharkov in 2021 everyone spoke Russian. Now everyone speaks Ukrainian. This was followed, four hours later, by attacks on the Kyiv-Pecherskaya Lavra, a UNESCO protected site, a place of peace and beauty where are buried some of the Russian saints (an unimaginable oxymoron). This attack shows the utter desperation of Russia, reduced to the destruction of hundreds of years of culture, barbarous, monstrous acts committed by an undersized, pathetic, strutting, little Napoleon whose death, preferably painful, I welcome with an open conscience. Stay strong Ukraine! You are winning!
