The wolf stood above, the lamb far below. Then, provoked by his savage throat, the brigand brought up a charge: “Why did you make the water turbid for me while I was drinking?”
The lamb against the wolf: “How can I do what you ask, wolf? The liquid flows from you to my draughts.”.
Repulsed by the power of truth, he said: “Six months ago, you spoke ill of me”.
He replied, “Indeed I was not born!“
“Father, by Hercules, yours, spoke ill to me!”
And so, it tears apart the corrupted by unjust death. This tale is written for those who oppress the innocent with false accusations.
This is a famous fable by Phaedrus, which everyone knows, and I have transcribed it into Latin to convey an arcane sense of arrogance. Indeed, it says, “hercle,” for Hercules, to indicate the arbitrary situation of someone who, strong in their own means but lacking justification, makes any excuse to act.
Bullying comes from afar and has reached us; today it's the Ukrainians’ turn, tomorrow it could be anyone's, and then the voice of culture and freedom must rise loud and strong, louder than that of the bully, and win with the power of its morality, which does not allow it to bow to the whims of the tyrant. I position myself in the wake of Daniel, Sinyavsky, Solzhenitsyn, Sakharov, in the memory of Mayakovsky, Yesenin, all Russians of freedom (that of the strong), alongside Vettel the super-racer, Marina Abramović, divine artist, the former Miss Universe (who took off her stilettos and put on boots), Ekaterina Gamova, Russian volleyball player, who rebels against the war, Milena Gabanelli, who suggests lowering the heating and turning off the lights a bit earlier, Elena Kovalskaya, who resigned from Moscow's Garage Museum.
