"MEMORIAL" AWARD

“MEMORIAL”  AWARD

Press release 199 E

1. On the photo one can see the award of the “Memorial” society (the union of the people, repressed on political and religious basis, and their descendants). The explanations read further.

2. I used to cooperate actively with the “Memorial”. In 1989 I took part in the founding meeting of the Krasnodar Territory branch of the “Memorial”, because both my grandfathers had been murdered in the Stalin’s prison camps (in GULAG).

3. On 25 October 2002 I made a report “Problems of the religious repressions” at the “Memorial” conference (watch: http://isaurian.blogspot.ru/2012/09/blog-post_30.html#more).

4. I began to support the ethnic groups, deported by Stalin during the WIIW. E. g., I began the campaign to return the historic Kirche building to the Krasnodar congregation of the German Lutherans (watch: http://isaurian.blogspot.ru/2012/12/christ-epistle-putin.html#more; http://isaurian.blogspot.ru/2013/10/putin-merkel-kirche-vision.html#more).

5. I organized the re-burial of the remains of the GULAG victims in Krasnodar (watch: http://isaurian.blogspot.ru/2013/11/at-martyrs-grave-30102013.html#more).

6. I used to take part in the annual “Memorial” conferences in Krasnodar (watch: http://isaurian.blogspot.ru/2013/11/memorial-conference-02112013.html#more); the communists tried to prevent my participance and my speeches there (watch: http://isaurian.blogspot.ru/2013/11/among-red-pagans.html#more).

7. I began to cooperate with the Crimea Tatars (the most known ethnic group, deported by Stalin) (watch: http://isaurian.blogspot.ru/2014/07/jemilev-to-alyoshin.html#more).

8. I became the prisoner on religious basis myself (watch: http://isaurian.blogspot.ru/2016/02/alive-after-his-passion.html#more).

9. I publicly suggested to organize the project “Immortal GULAG” – the public demonstrations of the descendants and relatives of the GULAG victims with the photos of those victims (watch: http://isaurian.blogspot.ru/2016/05/immortal-gulag.html#more).

10. On 05 October 2016 the Russian Federation Ministry of Justice included the “International “Memorial” Society” into the register of the “foreign agents”.

11. Peace unto you! (John, 20:19)
