Elchin Safarli. (№ 466231)

No one has the right to demand political, much less anti-Russian, statements from me. Now, when many of my Russian acquaintances are ashamed of their nationality, I can only be proud that my writing story began, continues and, if life allows, will continue in Russia. And let all the publishers in the world refuse me - I write in Russian, I feel in Russian, and this is what will be with me until the end of my days.
