Dear Americans, today is Election Day.
Before you cast your vote, remember Izium, Ukraine.
414 civilians. Five children. Tortured. Executed. Buried in a forest.
Your president, Mr. Trump, called russia’s conduct “frankly normal.”
Remember that.

"Putin will wage war. I don’t know when, but he will. And you, Europeans, will be surprised to discover that this war is aimed at you, too... You think that what is happening in Moscow has nothing to do with you—that it’s our problem.
Putin hates people like me, certainly. But through us—in Russia, or through the revolutionaries in Ukraine or Georgia—it is you he hates: your democracy, your society, your freedoms.
Do you think his regime is merely a threat to us? Your awakening will be brutal."
Anna Politkovskaya, in Paris, 2005.
She was assassinated in the lobby of her apartment building on October 7, 2006—Putin’s birthday.
