A-Infos (en) avtonom, Anarchist Black Cross - "I believe that things will fall apart, because nonsense": a letter from the Chelyabinsk anarchist Anastasia Safonova

On April 17, anarchists Dmitry Tsibukovsky and Anastasia Safonova were sent to pre-trial detention centers in Chelyabinsk for the banner 
"FSB is the main terrorist" posted two years ago. We'll publish Safonova's letter received through Rosuznik's mail. ---- Message to the 
media ---- Hello everyone. This is Nastya Safonova. As many already know, my husband and I, Dima Tsibukovsky, are now under investigation in 
a pre-trial detention center in the city of Chelyabinsk.  ---- Two years ago, in 2018, there was a lot of news about this case, including 
that Dima was tortured with a shocker in the FSB building. In the same year, the criminal case was closed for lack of corpus delicti, but 
the brave officers of the above service did not stop there, which was also repeatedly reported. In the end, making sure that we were no 
longer doing anything, we moved to Tula with my mother. She underwent several operations, so we helped her and supported her.

They did not notify us about the resumption of the criminal case, but the police simply arrived with the FSB officer in Chelyabinsk, carried 
out a search and took us with Dima to Chelyabinsk, where they quickly closed us. Despite the fact that the court made many arguments against 
detention, we both sit in jail. Today there was an appeal, and, as you already, I think, know, the measure remained unchanged. But neither I 
nor Dima are discouraged. The absurdity and obvious fabrication of our business are understandable to anyone who is even a little familiar 
with him, therefore we don't give up, hold fast and believe in our victory.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who helps and supports us. The knowledge that there are so many caring people behind the 
barbed wire fence gives an incredible amount of strength! Thank you very much! The fight lives on!

Answers to three people:

Thank you very much for the information, for the support! I hold on, do not lose heart, the truth remains for us, the main thing is that the 
struggle continues! I believe that this absurd thing will fall apart, it is a matter of time, because well, nonsense =) The conditions of 
detention here are normal, transfers and letters come stably, and there are caring people behind these walls, bars and barbed wire who care 
about our fate, gives a huge amount of strength. Thank!

Thank you for your kind words and support. We do not give up and do not lose heart. I have no connection with my husband, but I am confident 
in his strength of mind and endurance, because I know that he keeps himself with dignity and that his walls and bars cannot be broken. I do 
not lose positive, especially with such life-affirming letters. Good will win!

Things are fine with me, as far as possible in such a situation =) The conditions of detention are quite acceptable, the camera is small, 
clean, there is a TV, there are enough beds for everyone, people are adequate with me. Of course, everything is in shock from our business, 
well, it would be =) Dima's parents are engaged in programs. I have a ban on correspondence with Dima, I'm waiting for permission from the 
investigator to at least know about his well-being, but so far it's quiet. I do not lose my strength of mind and believe that he, too, does 
not give up, he is a very strong character man. So I wait, I hope and believe - the victory will be ours =)
