A group of prominent Russian musicians, led by the international pianist, have issued a video calling for an end to illegal wars and human rights offences by the Russian government. The video went live in the last few hours. It was iniitated by the violinist Misha Nodelman.

Kissins says simply: ‘Stop the terror. Release Alexei Navalny and all political prisoners now.’

Watch the video and share widely. Russian media are not reporting this.

Send a copy to Valery Gergiev, orchestrator of Putin compliance among the musical professions.
