Union of Writers

[Robert Orr]

The “Writers’ Union” is a Soviet throwback (those outside the Soviet Union, too) in any case.

 

Meanwhile, I got the references in the letter, but what are they talking about here?

 

На историческом Бородинском поле в сороковые-роковые появились и отряды французских фашистов.

Thanks for your opinion, Françoise Rosset,

 

however I am not sure you have ever read or heard at least two or three names of these writers who use words.

 

For the sake of balance, here is another relevant paper, the protest against Putin's military and propaganda pressure on Ukraine, signed by many scholars:

Thank you Sarah, that IS important information.

And it is relevant to this list because those are writers who wrote this letter, people whose medium is language and the word.

Dear SEELANGers, 

 

I am not posting this to try and be political, but for information. I think it is relevant to know that the Russian Union of Writers has written to President Putin in support of his actions in Crimea. Here is the link:
