224
Swiss writer Helen Richard-Favre (Hélène Richard-Favre), author of the books “Nouvelles de nulle part”, “Nouvelles de rien” and “Nouvelles de Personne” addressed an open letter to Svetlana Aleksievich, Nobel Prize winner-2015 in literature. Recall that the Belarusian writer Svetlana Alexievich at a press conference in Minsk after she received the Nobel Prize stated that the war in Donbass, which killed more than 8 thousand people, was the result of foreign intervention.
“This is an occupation, this is a foreign invasion,” said Aleksiyevich.
Also, a Belarusian writer said that in Russia “86% of people became happy” to kill people in Donetsk.
We give the text of the open letter Helene Richard-Favre, which she wrote Alexievich.
“Madam Aleksievich,
in the Donbas, which you mentioned during your press conference, a woman named Lilia, 24's, broke off her leg when, following her maternal instinct, she covered her 11-month-old son with her body. They were both on the bus, which was under fire.
This, like many other similar cases of murder and destruction in the Donbas, is the result of government action, which is supported by the West.
I urge you to read this article by a French journalist who is in Donetsk: http://dnipress.com/fr/posts/lilia-24-ans-une-jambe-arrachee-elle-sauve-son-petit-garcon/
What happened to Lilia is far from an isolated incident, and I hope you understand this. (Lily was treated in Moscow, - Ed.)
We all have to choose the topics about which we write. You made your choice and found your audience that admires them.
But you, the one that made the basis of your creativity the fight against lies, how can you claim that 86% of Russians rejoice in the deaths of people in the Donbas?
Madame, by stating this, you are not just lying, you are not just mistaken, you have disdained reality.
