Dear Platon Leonidovich,

Your opponents hoped for a rapid victory but you have defended every juridical height. After the latest year of carpet bombing by the prosecutor’s office they are as far from defeating you as ever.

Probably they thought top managers would be an easy target. You showed everyone that the strongest weapon anyone can wield is that of character. They continue to nourish hopes and illusions, doubtless. Yet how can they triumph over someone who has resolved to not let himself be conquered?

We wish you strength. Happy birthday!
