Serhey Layevsky, President of the Ukrainian National Committee of the International Council of Museums (ICOM) has published an open letter ‘to my despised and no longer colleagues’ in Russia, who signed the letter supporting Putin’s venture into Crimea. His targets include the directors of the Glinka and Tchaikovsky museums. ‘I merely want to get you thinking about how you have become complicit in crimes against humanity…’ he writes.

Sample:

Recently, the Russian Minister of Culture said that the Russians have one extra chromosome . Of course, he knows best, it explains a lot . All the fault of Ukraine in terms of Putin and his entourage is that Ukrainians want to be free in their country and no longer want to live in your community where Russian rudeness rules.

         I have nothing to ask. I want merely to get you thinking about that now have become complicit in crimes against humanity. I want you to think about how you will look into the eyes of mothers whose children tomorrow will kill my brothers and sisters. I want you to think about what you say to those mothers , whose children after tomorrow will return with Ukraine in the coffins.
