Posting in full a new translation of the "last word" speech at court of historian Alexander Skobov at his trial this week, who will most likely perish in Putin's Gulag. This is the voice of a true Russian patriot and I'm honored that a man of such immense courage is a member of the Free Russia Forum. It's worth noting that Alexander was jailed as a young man back in the Soviet days for his dissident views. Arrested by Communists, now by fascists, a true demonstration of his immense courage and unshakeable principles. -- Garry

**********************
"I was raised in the Soviet Union with the conviction that when an evil aggressor attacks peaceful citizens, one must take up arms and fight. And if you cannot hold a weapon yourself, you must help those who can, and encourage others to do so.
All my public activity is a call to fight the aggressor who attacked Ukraine, to support Ukraine with weapons and ammunition. I consider myself a participant in the armed resistance against the aggressor. In the missiles and shells that destroy the invaders, there is a small part of me. And I share a small part in every eliminated occupier.
No one attacked Russia, no one threatened it.
It is Putin’s Nazi regime that attacked Ukraine, driven solely by its leaders’ delusions of grandeur and their inhuman lust for power over everyone around them. They affirm themselves by killing hundreds of thousands of people. They are degenerates, scum, Nazi filth.
The guilt of Putin's Nazi dictatorship in preparing, unleashing, and waging an aggressive war is obvious and needs no proof. Likewise, our right to armed resistance against the aggressor on the battlefield and on the aggressor’s territory needs no justification. Indeed, it would be laughable to expect such acknowledgment from a regime that imprisons people merely for uttering a word of moral condemnation against it. All possibilities for legal protest against Putin's aggression have long been eradicated.
My calls for armed resistance against the aggressor’s regime are considered by it to be terroristic activity. I will not argue with the aggressor's authorities, even if they decide to charge me with pedophilia. The judicial system in Russia has long proven itself to be an appendage of Nazi tyranny, and seeking justice there is meaningless. I will never bow before these people – accomplices to murderers and scoundrels. I have nothing to argue about with them. Let the cannons speak for me.
I see no point in arguing with the dictatorship’s marionets about how faithfully they apply their laws. These are, in any case, the laws of a totalitarian state aimed at trampling dissent. I do not recognize these laws and will not succumb to them.
I also will not appeal any decisions or actions of the representatives of this Nazi regime. I do not seek mercy from my armed enemy.
The Putin dictatorship may kill me, but it cannot force me to abandon my fight against it. Wherever I may be, I will continue to call on honest Russians to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine. I will continue to advocate for strikes on military targets deep within Russian territory. I will call on the civilized world to inflict a strategic defeat on Nazi Russia. I will argue for the necessity of the military destruction of the new Hitler regime.
Putin is the new Hitler, intoxicated by impunity, a ghoul drunk on blood. And I will not tire of repeating: “Crush the serpent!”
Death to Putin - murderer, tyrant, and scoundrel!
Death to the Russian-fascist invaders!
Glory to Ukraine!"

@mikegallacher1 Such perseverance! devil is in the detail.

[Charlotte's Battle Against Glioblastoma (BAG) @alexeades1]

A brief synopsis of life with a brain tumour, from diagnosis to death.

April 2013, sixteen years and two months old:
Headaches started. They were mistaken for migraines brought on by stress related to GCSE exams.
Four visits were made to the GP. On each occasion, Charlotte told the doctor: "I have a brain tumour."

July 2013, sixteen years and six months old:
Headaches continue and bring about increased sickness. An MRI scan was performed.
Something was found on the brain stem – it is inoperable and cannot be biopsied because of the position of the growth.

August 2013, sixteen years and seven months old:
A spinal cord biopsy was performed. A 1mm lesion was extracted. Charlotte was diagnosed with grade 3 Anaplastic Astrocytoma.

September 2013, sixteen years and eight months old:
The hospital were in contact with the local hospice.

October 2013, sixteen years and nine months old:
The medical team decided that there was nothing to lose by starting an intense course of radiotherapy for. The treatment lasted 32 days.

November 2013, sixteen years and ten months old:
The radiotherapy burnt Charlotte's oesophagus. For the next eight months, Charlotte could eat only pretzels, pasta, cornflakes, and popcorn.

January 2014 - June 2015, sixteen years and nine months old to eighteen years and five months old:
A stable period during which Charlotte felt well. Her tumours changed little and we thought it might be managed like a chronic condition. Charlotte had an MRI every three months plus standard NHS chemotherapy, Temozolomide (there has been no advancement on Temozolomide since it was first used in 1999).

July 2015, eighteen years and six months old:
What we though would be another routine MRI scan revealed a 3mm tumour. Another MRI scan to monitor growth was booked to take place six weeks later.

September 2015, eighteen years and seven months:
The latest MRI scan returned the news that the growth had increased from 3mm to 3cm.

October 2015, eighteen years and eight months old:
The medical team had no choice but to biopsy the brain stem. This did a huge amount of damage; it rendered Charlotte very unbalanced. As a result, she had regular falls.

The results revealed that Charlotte's original tumour had mutated into a grade 4 glioblastoma. No cure.

December 2015, eighteen years and ten months:
Deterioration was rapid. Loss of hearing, eyesight and paralysis occurred all while Charlotte was cognisant. By the end of December, Charlotte could do nothing unaided.

5th January 2016, eighteen years and eleven months old:
The MRI scan revealed rapid progression in tumour growth. Charlotte was told she was dying.

6th January 2016 – 5th February 2016, eighteen years and eleven months old:
Charlotte woke in the morning but she could not curl her toes. Within 24 hours she was totally paralysed down her right side.
The next month was horrendous. Charlotte lost her ability to talk, walk, feed, toilet and bathe herself unaided.

5th February 2016, eighteen years old and eleven months:
Charlotte was admitted to hospital and put in an induced coma.

24th February 2016, nineteen years and six days old:
Pronounced dead at 13:03 pm.

5th March 2016, deceased:
The day of Charlotte’s funeral.

5th April 2016, deceased.
We scattered Charlotte’s ashes

Brain tumours kill more under 40’s than any other cancer yet receives the least government funding.

The big difference with our charity is that we self-fund. This means that 100% of your donation goes to research at Charlotte's Lab, King's College Hospital, London. We have no salaries, no overheads, no advertising, and no merchandise. We have no quirky gimmicks to draw you in, just the story of a wonderful and incredibly brave young woman via her YouTube channel. We pay our own expenses, including PayPal fees & PO Box fees. If you want to donate to a charity, please think of us.

We will also keep you up to date with how donations have/will be spent as we have regular calls with our team at KCH.

If you can donate that would be so appreciated but if you can’t a RT would also be much appreciated. Helping Miles (Charlotte’s brother) & I (Charlotte’s mother) spread awareness.
