Dear Valery Alexandrovich!
I apologize for what happened at a meeting of the Council with the President.
I see how indignation my behavior in the national press and the administrative force environment caused.
I am sure that you have a lot of troubles in the presidential administration.
I sincerely regret it.
I was shown an angry reaction to my behavior by the presidential press secretary.
He is right- I am an amateur and, apparently, such a place in such a respected professional environment as advice.
My friends tell me about offensive statements from the Chechen sector.
And I know, in the country will not defend the honor and dignity of a member of the Presidential Council.
This was already when the head of the committee against torture was subjected to insults and bullying.
My friends warn of the threatening danger of my life.
The only guarantee of my life may be a perception by the president of such a radical denouement.
But, if journalism in our country is dangerous, why is membership in a meeting state body specially protected … ..,?
I am just a citizen and artisan of my workshop, a teacher.
I do not own diplomatic skills.
I know that I insulted with my act, the behavior of many members of the Council.
I apologize to everyone.
