Five Profiles in Courage and Compassion

When Putinism lies in ruins, Russians will remember the fearless moral clarity of this prison letter from Darya Kozyreva, a medical student first expelled from university and then arrested for her antiwar actions. Darya Kozyreva ‘Russia is wrapped in a heavy, impenetrable cocoon, a cocoon of silence. How many crimes the Putin dictatorship has committed, how many foreign cities it has seized and…

I'm currently waiting here until they are taken away (to evacuation).As for me,it seems I have a minor concussion.l am lying down (sounds of explosions) back in formation.I want to share this with you so that you all know that we will still prevail in this war,but also to make you aware of the price we are paying for it here"

2022 Russian Grand prix stage 2(Sochi) entry #19

Junior men short program

Nikita Sentsov

Thoughts: the last spin was the only good one. His left side and his front profile are perfect. The right side, not so much.

Danil Fedosimov

Thoughts: he has these gorgeous microscopic freckles

Lez Lazarev 

Thoughts: that dazed, tired look at the end. Yikes.

Junior men free program

Nikita Sentsov

Thoughts: Spins were better, except for that one that ran out of gas in the middle.

Danil Fedosimov

Thoughts: yes the second half of the program kind of imploded. But he wasn’t nearly as stiff as he was in the short program.

Ukrainian filmmaker Oleh Sentsov again injured in battle

Oleh Sentsov, the Ukrainian filmmaker, writer, and activist who joined the military in February 2022, informed on July 17 that he received shrapnel injuries in battle.

“The week isn’t over yet. On the first combat mission after my return, while disembarking, we came under artillery fire,” Sentsov wrote.

“Bradley saved our lives again. Three were injured, mostly with fractures. (Shrapnels) were already removed from my face, small pieces in my hand and foot will stay with me forever. The other guys are doing well too – Zaporizhzhia doctors know their business, thank you!"

Recently, Sentsov was allowed to leave for France to receive the Legion of Honor, the highest French order of merit, along with Ukrainian writer Oksana Zabuzhko.

The well-known filmmaker was injured on the front already on July 8, suffering a concussion.

His wife Veronika Velch said that Sentsov was experiencing health problems resulting from the previous injury even during his leave to receive the French award.

According to Velch, he was not given enough time to recuperate from his previous injury before he was sent back to the front, which is a common occurrence with other wounded soldiers.

“This is at least the third contusion in six weeks, each without hospitalization, put on five drips and sent onward,” she wrote on her Facebook following Sentsov’s most recent engagement.

“It sounds strange, but almost every family in which someone serves knows about this ‘treatment protocol’."

“When the soldier is not given enough time for treatment and basic recovery and is thrown back into battle without a chance to breathe, what can you expect? This story is not new. More than a year without rotation on the battlefield, complex operations,” Velch continued.

Sentsov was one of the most high-profile political prisoners held by Russia. He was arrested in Crimea in 2014 by the Russian authorities on the occupied peninsula and later sentenced to 20 years in prison on terrorism charges. He was released in 2019 during a prisoner swap.

Oksana Lutsyshyna: Every wave is for you

Now it seems to me like I always knew Vika Amelina. This past week has been hellish – a mix of anticipation, knowing, and the impossibility of reconciling with this knowledge. How can I imagine life without her now? Where do I even begin? We met in 2014 in New York
