Khodorkovsky Calls for Solidarity Against Terror

Former Yukos head and jailed tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky called on Russians to stand united and vigilant against terrorism, in a statement released by his press service. He said that the fight against terrorism depends only on the Russian people.

“The hatred of some multiplied by the indifference of others — that is what blows up homes, schools, airplanes, what maims our children,” the statement read. “There are no special forces that can protect an indifferent people.”

“Hatred cannot be defeated with rage,” the statement said, “they only multiply one another.”

“Solidarity, helping others and understanding others — this is where our victory lies, for us and for our children. This is what is meant by civil society,” Khodorkovsky said.

“I am certain that we can find the strength in ourselves and transform our feelings into help, into help for those who need it right now, and so that it doesn’t happen again,” the former Yukos head continued.
