Hello, Ajay Kamalakaran,

I just saw your article about Sri Sri.

My late father Alexander (Rapoport) Golemba translated it, from a "podstrochnik", you surely know the meaning. He was not really fluent in Jiddish, (in some other languages - yes), and was not an epidemiologist either.

My late mother Maya was one.

He did work in a military hospital in the 1952-54 for a while, before being put into a psychiatric one, to save him from the KGB.

I was helping him in his work since I was fourteen, and looking after him in 1978-79 when he was very ill and dying, - not his wife, she was "too busy" pleasing the authorities there.

They seemed to have given you plenty of daft pro-Soviet info in Moscow.

I can guess, who that "well-informed" person was.

You were a welcomed guest there, it is very clear. Good for you.

I was born, educated, worked and lived there, a witness in a pagan world.

I became a dissident, a refusenic amongst the faithful Russian souls, millions of them.

What do you really know?! What are your sources?

Alik Golemba has died destitute, terrorised. I was his only chiId, he wanted to die in peace on my hands. That Russian loving, loyal to the poweres to be Maya dragged him into a psychiatric hospital, again, against his will, for no reason, as I was getting ''his'' translation, done by me to the editors.

And, to cut down the German translations concurence, I was put out of work for ten years.

Alone, with a little child on my hands. Lev Ginsburg (Teni v adu) and his daughter are responsible.

Without any support, I was abused, raped, mugged, geered at in that wonderful USSR since 1979.

I finally managed to run away to the UK, in 1986.

My only daughter was kept a hostage by Moscow authorities, to ensure my return. I risked my life to go back, get her out. That could be a thriller. I got us both out in 1988.

I was tracked by the same ex-soviet, "new" Russian gang in the West, since the 1990, and still am.

My only daughter was kept a hostage by Moscow authorities, to ensure my return.

Russian soul? Find a book Black Hen and the other stories by the Russian writers compiled by V.Muraviov (a seriously spooked descendent of the Dekabrist Muraviov), - please, do.

Anna Bakhnova, that was me. I did not hate the Russians then.

Now I despise them. The whole of the is culture is one huge lie, as it was mainly created by their victims.

I was not supposed to be allowed work at all, but a true good soul, a Russian friend of my Jewish friends who have all left by then, gave me that commission in secret. We only showed it in when I completed the whole set of illustrations. I was all but killed for that.

Just after Alik Golemba died, as he wanted, on my hands, but we were not allowed to be in the house, it just has to be an official hospital, with a botched, unnecessary operation, peritonite, lack of oxigen, stolen medications, and every medical care provided by myself, as it was filthy, rude, unprofessional. Maya was howling, but did not help at all there.

She was scared out of her wits, since her Chechen father Akhmetkhan Mutushev was killed, and her mother, a non-religious Jewish doctor, was exiled for fifteen years to Bashkiria. I remember that very well. My first memories of a 2 ysr old. visiting her there; a winter-land alike doctor Jhivago!

You really have no clue, sorry!

You must be in support of the very "special operation" now?

Alik Golemba was born in Kharkiv.

I was sent there as a baby, started to walk and talk there with my Jewish grandparents:

Solomon and Vera Rapoport. ALL the problems were from the soviets, not from the Ukrainians!

I remember the farmers Holodomor survivors, returning from exile and Gulags, dying on streets of hunger. I was about six.

It is simply horrendous what they have done everywhere, your Russian souls.

How could you justify any of that?!

How could you claim that you have a Russian soul?

There is nothing good there anymore.

There is death and hate, destruction and oppression, fear and jealousy, greed and lies.

67% of the whole population believe the crazy propaganda and a willing to kill everyone in Ukraine.

Shame on you and your friends there!

They will be made to pay for their crimes against humanity.

Tell them that: "We will not forgive. We will never forget!"
