Quite unexpectedly, Boris Grebenshchikov, the leader of the band "Aquarium," just called me and asked me to pass the following message on to everyone: I am following the situation in Mezhdurechensk closely and support the miners. They are dying, they are being threatened with replacement by Chinese workers, and they are being beaten down by OMON riot police. The media have been silent for a third day now; this seems unfair to me, and I decided to wave my arms in support of them. Everything is unfolding like a novel by Gorky: the tsarist police are siding with the capitalists in their fight against the workers. This is unjust. I want people in Mezhdurechensk and everywhere else to know that I support the miners and their demands. *Boris Grebenshchikov. */////////
