Letters

We have received many letters and phone calls about the magazine since we restarted it in a new way this summer. As expected, there has been both support and denigration. That’s just the business we are in. Keep your opinions coming about all we are doing. All feedback is important to us. All letters will be checked for authenticity, but published here without attribution, in keeping with our aim to keep all parties and contributors safe in these very harrowing times.

  I just received and perused your reconstituted Russian Life, and I am so thankful for and moved by what you are doing. You are providing such an immense service for the world and for world peace. I had no idea what to expect and found myself so moved, particularly by first-person statements of those who are staying in Russia. You give voice to the otherwise often voiceless.

You are providing a wonderful, valuable, moving - and safe - voice for all of us. Making every contribution anonymous is an effective method for continuing to publish great pieces while safeguarding authors.
