We, a group of friends, and attic and Art With Affinity, we want

Now he is in Bulgaria and awaits extradition to Russia, where he was

eyes" in 2000. In Russia, he was charged under Article 282 of the Penal Code in

inciting ethnic and religious hatred. Now Oleg has expired Russian passport

prison. We ask the Consul General Bulgaria, Mr. Kazakov show

humanity and not to go in the wake of the Russian authorities. We ask that you provide
