"I love you all and think of you. But I must go, life is unbearable for me. Ever since Putin attacked Ukraine and kills innocent people, and here they endlessly imprison thousands of people who suffer and die there because, like me, they are against war and against murder. I cannot help them in any way. Zhenya Berkovich, Svetlana Petrichuk, Karina Tsurkan and thousands of others behind bars are suffering and dying. I tried to help them, but my strength ran out and I suffer day and night from helplessness. I am ashamed, but I gave up. Please forgive me," Nina Litvinova wrote in the note.
Nina Litvinova was born in 1945. She was a human rights activist since the 1960s. Her grandfather, Maxim Litvinov, was the People's Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the USSR from 1930-1939, and later served as ambassador to Cuba and the United States.
