Declaration of Guilt

Open Letter

To the Federal Security Bureau and
anyone else whom this does not concern


I, Svetlana Alexeyevna Gannushkina, Head of the "Civic Assistance"
Committee, Council Member and Director of the "Migration and Rights"
Network of the Memorial Human Rights Centre, and also Member of the
Human Rights Council under the President of the Russian Federation,
wish to make the following confession:

Since 1990 I have undertaken activities which may be considered by
the addressees of this statement as espionage.

From the institutions of the United Nations, the European Union, the
Council of Europe, and certain private Western foundations and
public organizations, I have received financial resources for the
bank accounts of NGOs, resources which in accordance with previously-
planned actions have served to purchase food products, personal
items and medicaments for internally displaced persons and refugees.
The acquired foodstuffs may have contained genetically modified
components causing a persistent aversion to the special operations
known by the name of "cleansings" [zachistki], and hallucinogens
that create a false picture of the troubles in our country and, in
particular, the Chechen Republic.

We have also carried out consultations on legal problems – which do
not exist in the Russian Federation –  and have provided defence at
the trials of socially unprotected persons, even though the need to
defend them has never been confirmed by an objective checking of the
facts at our disposal by the law-enforcement agencies.

For our part, we have supplied international organizations and
foundations with reports containing information about persons who
have received support, together with photographs of strategic
targets –  in particular, tent camps and places maladapted for the
accommodation of refugees –  thus deliberately creating a negative
image our country and its leadership.

In connection with the foregoing, I declare that I do not repent of
what I have done and intend to continue the activities indicated,
while treating with the deepest contempt all rocks stuffed with
equipment which was already obsolete in the days of my childhood.

Yours disrespectfully,

Svetlana Gannushkina
