Readers send birthday greetings to Platon Lebedev.

Dear Platon Leonidovich,

My family and I send you our heartfelt congratulations on your birthday. We wish you good health, resilience and that your dreams may come true. However cold life itself may seem, it is warmed by human sympathy, the support of friends and family, and help at a difficult and harsh time. Take good care of yourself – we are waiting for your release!

Respectfully yours,

The Kholodny family, St Petersburg


Dear Platon Leonidovich,

Happy birthday to you!

I wish you the most rapid return home to your family. I want to wish you good health, patience and just a little good fortune. May all your difficulties be left behind. I always remember you with respect, and treasure all that we did together at work.

Probably, you don’t remember me. Think of the Yerevan branch [of Menatep]. Everyone there remembers you and thinks of you with deep respect. May God help you. I hope to see you soon, as a free man. Don’t despair.

With respect,

Seda


I wish Platon Leonidovich health, determination and freedom.

Oleg Damaskin
