“Lyoshа, thank you for 26 years of absolute happiness. Yes, even the last three years of happiness. For the love, for always being supportive, for making me laugh even from prison, for always thinking of me,” writes @yulia_navalnaya.

“Love you forever. Rest in peace”

The month of February will always be remembered by believers in a free Russia as the time when Putin killed two of Russia's most talented, funny, smart, charismatic, and principled leaders.

"Are you yourselves not afraid?" he asked the judge and court officials: "Are you not afraid to watch what our country is turning into?...Are you not afraid that not only you, but also your children and your grandchildren, will have to live in this absurdity, this dystopia?"

A small gathering of north Londoners met at Boris Nemtsov Place this morning with flowers for Navalny, Nemtsov and for all those Putin and the Kremlin have murdered. Another Russia is still possible

Muriel Barbery's new book touched this #girldad's heart like a bittersweet french love song
Her Elegance of the Hedgehog was i think the first @EuropaEditions title that made me properly cry while editing it in Alison Anderson's beautiful translation
lot of years & feelings ❤️🥲

Muriel Barbery’s new novel, ONE HOUR OF FERVOR is out today!

“It’s rare these days for a novel to be devoted to beauty, much less present a philosophy,” writes Randy Rosenthal in @BostonGlobe, “and that’s precisely why Barbery’s uniquely stand out.”

I hope the campaign for the release of prisoners of war gains as much attention as the "where is Navalny" had. For 19m(!) we don't know the whereabouts of the brave #Mariupol defenders. russia conceals info ab their health too
@ICRC, where are Ukrainian heroes?

Kyiv has just met Ukrainian writer Victoria Amelina for the very last time. 10 days ago we listened to her at Kyiv Book Fair. We will never hear her reading again because Russia killed her

Let this poem by Victoria be your tribute to this Ukrainian voice

Thoughts are with Victoria Amelina and her family today. She has worked tirelessly to uncover the truth of Russian atrocities in occupied areas, but also to bring literature to frontline towns. Russia has only one response to truth and culture, it seems. https://t.co/SEVju33eYW

@tinakover @CamhiLeslie @NewYorker @EuropaEditions Congratulations Tina, this is huge!

[Alison Anderson 🇺🇦 @Alisonaki]

@strategywoman Thank you Yaroslava for your posts. Over the months I've come to feel I know you, a little, and it makes Ukraine personal and above all important. I'm far away in a too-insulated-wealthy-neutral place, but I won't forget Ukraine thanks to people like you. Slava Ukraini.

@Jenny_Bew_Orr I'll say one thing, I love the covers of these books, you really want to be in that atmosphere!

[Alison Anderson 🇺🇦 @Alisonaki]

@Jenny_Bew_Orr Yes! I read the story about the trains some months ago. What's lovely is that it's lived and heartfelt. Must read this one soon. Well done.

[Alison Anderson 🇺🇦 @Alisonaki]

@Jenny_Bew_Orr @BookDevon That was her book that I really liked, too. I think it's way above the other ones but isn't as well known, oddly. Glad you liked it too!

[Alison Anderson 🇺🇦 @Alisonaki]

@Jenny_Bew_Orr Bless you dear Jen, I only just saw this message, I'm not good at checking Tw these days. I was so honored to know Dubravka, and will miss her so much. Knowing her was of the brightest moments of my career.

[Alison Anderson 🇺🇦 @Alisonaki]

@amanpour My heart went out to him. I hope he will be released soon. Thank you for your sensitive and moving interview.
