[Ura-list] Pirate copies of the dictionary of Votic

[traderson at mail.uk]

Dear colleagues, dear Johanna, dear Gerly,

I am Andrej Traderson, the person mentioned in your message of June 17.

I would like to sincerely apologize for this incident with the Votic dictionary.

The small edition printed in St. Petersburg was never for sale. It was printed solely for charitable purposes, as a souvenir gift for Votic people and for friends of our culture. I am Votian myself, and the dictionary is very much needed for us.

I tried to contact Eesti Keele Instituut several times before, but received no answer, and I made a wrong decision to print it by myself. It was a mistake.

I did not upload any PDF to the Internet and I do not know who did it. I have no commercial interest and received no profit.

I have deep respect for the enormous work of EKI and all authors of "Vadja keele sõnaraamat" (2013) — Juri Viikberg and others. The work is fundamental for our language.

I ask you to forgive me, for Christ's sake. I promise to stop any distribution, to withdraw the remaining copies from public access, and if EKI allows, I am ready to add full and correct attribution or to destroy the print.

I am ready to contact EKI directly to resolve this in a proper way.

With sincere apologies and respect,
Andrej Traderson
