📣 Some news about me:
Yesterday (Wednesday) I was detained by police in Istanbul, held for 17 hours and then deported from Turkey to the UK. Told I was “a threat to public order”. In the country I lived in - and love.

Russians are paying tribute to Alexei Navalny at the Solovetsky stone, brought to Moscow from the Gulag in the last year of the USSR
